Spray Control / Spray Transfer:

Spray control is the skill of keeping a weapon’s recoil and bullet spread manageable during sustained fire, while spray transfer is moving that same spray from one target to another without fully resetting the weapon. In VALORANT, both terms describe close-range gunfights where players must control recoil patterns and adjust aim as enemies move or appear together. Good spray control helps shots stay on target, and spray transfer is especially useful when multiple opponents are lined up or peek one after another.
