Procedural Recoil and Bullet Spread | Gun Series 2

Learn how to implement procedural bullet spread and gun recoil 💥 into your game with this ScriptableObject-based gun system (Part 2 of the Gun Series!)

In this Unity Tutorial you'll learn how to implement recoil/bullet spread in 3 ways -

1. No spread - always perfectly accurate

2. "Simple" Spread - the most common way you'll find to implement spread, based on random values in a Vector3 Range

3. Texture-Based Spread - sampling a texture to define a "pattern of randomness" based on some texture data. Using this you can get something like the recoil in popular games such as Counter-Strike.

Bullet spread and Recoil are inseparable topics, because the recoil actually makes the bullet spread happen! Learn how to do both in this tutorial!
