Counter-Strike fan makes a weapon spray trainer that you can use in-game, now available for $4 on Steam

Anyone who plays Counter-Strike knows that mastering spray control is a rewarding skill. Unlike some shooters, where bullet sprays are relatively simple or much more randomized, CS has unique spray patterns for every weapon, and learning how to control recoil can make the difference between winning and losing gunfights.
To help players out, a fan has created a dedicated spray control trainer for Counter-Strike 2 called Spray Forge, and it's available for just $4 on Steam.
What is Spray Forge?
Currently in Early Access, Spray Forge is a small desktop application that stays always-on-top (in front of your other windows). Instead of looking up spray images online or alt-tabbing during practice, you can instantly access any spray pattern right from the app. Right now, it’s compatible with Counter-Strike 2, but more games are expected to be supported further down the road.
What makes Spray Forge different from basic spray charts is that it tracks your mouse movement in real time. It works like a drawing program, showing your mouse movement on top of the weapon spray image. This means you can instantly see if your recoil control matches the correct pattern. If you’re pulling too far left or not enough downward, you'll notice right away.
The software is also safe to use while you play the game. Its creator says there is a “0%” chance it will get you in trouble in private lobbies, and beta testers have freely been using it in online deathmatch. It doesn't connect to CS2 in any way, doesn't modify the game, and doesn't inject files. This does mean you’ll need to use hotkeys to switch between spray patterns rather than CS2 automatically detecting them, but that’s not a massive downside.
It is important to keep in mind that Spray Forge is still in Early Access, which means the app is not fully finished yet. The developer is still improving it, so you might find some small bugs or features that are missing. But even with a few rough edges, the app already works well for spray training. It is a great tool for players who struggle with aim or recoil control and want a simple way to practice every day.
