# Recoil Assist Activation
***Commonly found under*** **Settings *****in Shooter**-**style GAMEPACKs with ONLY standard Anti**-**Recoil** (**NO Optimized Anti**-**Recoil**),* "**Anti**-**Recoil Activation**" covers how & when Anti-Recoil will be activated.
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.

## **Options Explained**
**Any Fire** is ***usually*** the default option. Anti-Recoil will **activate** 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 **activate** as soon as your ***ADS*** & ***FIRE*** button are being ***PRESSED TOGETHER**.* It will **deactivate** Anti-Recoil while you are ***NOT ADS**.*
**Fire Only** will **deactivate** Anti-Recoil if you are Aiming Down Sights (ADS). This means Anti-Recoil will **ONLY** **activate** 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 **activate** Anti-Recoil. |
|
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| While your ***FIRE TRIGGER*** is ***FULLY HELD*** all the way down, **Fully Hold** - **Activate** will **deactivate** Anti-Recoil. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://guide.strikepack.com/horizon/manuals/recoilassist/recoilassistactivation.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
