</>What does No Recoil & No Spread do?
No Recoil & No Spread changes how your own weapons handle in PAYDAY 2. It has three switches and one number, and each works by itself, so you can turn on only the part you want. No Recoil stops shots from kicking your aim. Hold the trigger on a light machine gun and the sights stay where you put them. No Spread sends every bullet exactly where the weapon points, whether you stand, move, fire from the hip or aim down sights. With a shotgun this means all pellets travel along the same line. Instant Weapon Swap changes between primary and secondary at once, through the same quick swap the game already uses for one of its own upgrades. Fire Rate % scales how fast your guns fire: 100 is the game's own rate, 500 is five times as fast and 25 is a quarter. Grenade launchers, rocket launchers, bows and crossbows keep their normal rate, because the game drops launcher shots that come sooner than its own limit. The mod works when you play solo, or when you host a friends-only or private lobby. In a public lobby, and when you join someone else's game, it stands down and a line on the HUD tells you once. Only your own weapons change; crew bots and other players shoot as usual. Nothing is written to your save, and switching an option off gives the weapon back its normal handling straight away.
</>What is No Recoil & No Spread?
PAYDAY 2 weapons kick your aim as you fire and scatter their bullets by an amount that depends on your stance and on whether you aim down sights. No Recoil & No Spread takes both away for the weapons you carry: the aim stays put and each shot goes where the weapon points. A third switch makes changing between primary and secondary instant, and Fire Rate % sets how fast your guns shoot, from a quarter of the game's rate to five times as fast. It is made for solo heists and for lobbies you host for people you know, and it stands down everywhere else.
</>Common questions about No Recoil & No Spread
Does No Recoil & No Spread work in public lobbies?
No. It works when you play solo and when you are the host of a friends-only or private lobby. In a public lobby, or as a guest in another player's lobby, every option stands down and a line on the HUD says so once. Your weapons then handle the way the game made them.
Why does my grenade launcher or bow ignore Fire Rate %?
PAYDAY 2 has its own limit on how quickly launcher shots, arrows and bolts may follow each other, and it drops any shot that comes sooner. A faster shot would simply not appear, so launchers, bows and crossbows keep the game's rate. No Spread still applies to them.
What does No Spread do to shotguns?
A shotgun still fires all its pellets, but they travel along the same line and hit the same spot. That puts the whole shot on one enemy and takes away the wide pattern that catches several enemies at once. Switch No Spread off when you want the pattern back; the next shot spreads again.
My aim still jumps when a Taser shocks me. Is No Recoil broken?
No. That jolt belongs to the Taser's attack, not to your weapon, so the mod leaves it alone and you still have to fight the shock the way the game intends. No Recoil only removes the kick your own shots give to your aim, the part that pulls the sights off a target during a long burst.
Do I have to restart the heist after changing an option?
No. Each option is read on every shot and every swap, so a change in the launcher applies to the next trigger pull. Nothing is stored in your save or on the weapon, and turning the mod off returns everything to normal at once.
