How to easily control Havoc recoil in Apex Legends

Apex Legends streamer Svend-Erik ‘Taxi2g’ Høegh has revealed a recoil trick for the Havoc that makes the weapon pinpoint accurate.

Recoil control is one the most difficult techniques to master in Apex Legends and one that a lot of the community can never seem to grasp.

As a result, a lot of players tend to avoid certain weapons if they have too much kickback, and that’s certainly the case for the Havoc.

This energy-based AR is absolutely lethal at medium range and can tear through an opponent with ease in the right players’ hands, but even with attachments, it’s a tough gun to control.

Luckily, streamer Taxi2g has explained exactly how to stay pinpoint accurate with the gun, making it easy to land every single bullet.

Taxi goes on to say that this close to medium range technique can be utilized with every single weapon in the game, but it’s particularly effective with the Havoc.
