There are ***usually*** **5** options to select from...  **Any Fire**, **ADS Fire**, **Fire Only**, **Activate** - **Fully Hold**, and **Block** - **Fully Hold**.  If any of these options are deemed unsuitable for a specific game, its GAMEPACK may feature fewer options, or even **NO** Anti-Recoil Activation setting.

**Any Fire** is ***usually*** the default option.  Anti-Recoil will <mark style="color:green;">**activate**</mark> as soon as your ***FIRE*** button is being ***PRESSED**.*  This is needed in any game that **DOES NOT** utilize an Aim Down Sights (ADS) button.  However, it can be problematic in any game that has significantly different recoil between ***ADS*** & ***NOT ADS***, and when your ***FIRE*** button is used for vehicle acceleration or other alternate gameplay activities, you may experience some camera issues.

**ADS Fire** is ***usually*** the best option for any game where most of your time is spent Aiming Down Sights (ADS), and it is also ***usually*** the way Anti-Recoil functions in Optimized Anti-Recoil GAMEPACKs.  Anti-Recoil will <mark style="color:green;">**activate**</mark> as soon as your ***ADS*** & ***FIRE*** button are being ***PRESSED TOGETHER**.*  It will <mark style="color:red;">**deactivate**</mark> Anti-Recoil while you are ***NOT ADS**.*

**Fire Only** will <mark style="color:red;">**deactivate**</mark> Anti-Recoil if you are Aiming Down Sights (ADS).  This means Anti-Recoil will **ONLY** <mark style="color:green;">**activate**</mark> when you are ***FIRING WHILE NOT ADS*** (hip firing).

The **Fully Hold** options, provided that you use a trigger for firing, will take advantage of your trigger’s analog nature, allowing you to determine when to use Anti-Recoil:

| While your ***FIRE TRIGGER*** is ***FULLY HELD*** all the way down, **Fully Hold** - **Activate** will <mark style="color:green;">**activate**</mark> Anti-Recoil. | <p></p><p><img src="https://1841283601-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FFYraHizgjOptWmwCAGKE%2Fuploads%2FqnE5F4hh1DhLLjjxg5Ek%2FController_Trigger_Sens_3.png?alt=media&#x26;token=2ed35fbf-624f-4ac9-bf6c-ac952736ec9a" alt="" data-size="original"></p> |
