CfgRecoils – ArmA: Armed Assault

For the Arma 3 version of this page, see Arma 3: CfgRecoils.

In an effort to ensure compatibility across mods here are the current recoil values used in ArmA (permission provided to list these by Maruk). By using these as a starting/reference point for your mods own recoils you will ensure that your mod can be used alongside other mods.

A few things to note:

Recoil is defined as three numbers in a row indicating: time taken, kick back, kick up. There can be a series of these recoils settings per weapon config.
Recoil is defined by weapon and not per bullet.
You can define a prone recoil to simulate the lower recoil of being prone and firing with a bipod/tripod support.

ⓘ

As of beta patch the recoil values have changed and are mostly snappier and more responsive.
