Or.. tweaks? Doesn't matter. Vanilla recoil sucks anyway.
Introduction
Tarkov’s recoil feels kind of bland and weightless. This lightweight mod aims to make recoil punchier by tweaking some recoil values. While I am open to suggestions, this mod is ultimately shaped by my own preferences and is thus highly opinionated around what I would like Tarkov’s recoil to look and feel like.
I encourage you to play around with various settings to see what suits you.

Installation
Drag and drop. Like any other mod.
Known Issues
- There’s a rare bug where weapon recoil gets multiplied for seemingly no reason. I could replicate it by reloading my weapon and shooting without aiming down sights but there seem to be other causes. Setting the Recoil Angle Intensity config values to 1.0 seemed to make the issue go away at first glance. Let me know if this still happens with versions above 1.3.0
A small list of mods I would recommend using alongside Recoil Rework:
… and a few others, but I’m gatekeeping them.
