# Recoil Assist Activation

***Commonly found under*** <img src="/files/QD9qVpfY3MElYlZAzy8a" alt="" data-size="line">**Settings&#x20;*****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**

<figure><img src="/files/EoZ7m9C4dcmsd1t0Vcxd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**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="/files/v0MAzIgxAKr16xQIjxGw" alt="" data-size="original"></p> |

| While your ***FIRE TRIGGER*** is ***FULLY HELD*** all the way down, **Fully Hold** - **Activate** will <mark style="color:red;">**deactivate**</mark> Anti-Recoil. | <p></p><p><img src="/files/v0MAzIgxAKr16xQIjxGw" alt="" data-size="original"></p> |

After making your selection, <img src="/files/FTIPMMo2lFVsDuBcyTX7" alt="" data-size="line">tap the <img src="/files/dpReF9U32yw5i8PfsY5K" alt="" data-size="line">back-arrow at the top-left to return to the Dashboard.

```
GET https://guide.strikepack.com/horizon/recoilassist/recoilassistactivation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
