- The guardian effectively has perfect accuracy (or literally in ADS).
- First-bullet inaccuracy is an overstated issue for rifles, and a balancing tool against eco weapons (which are already much stronger than in CS).
As for spray patterns, I'm gonna go with the hot take that they're just dumb to begin with. If you whiff the first couple shots, or you kill someone and are trying to transfer, it shouldn't be a pattern that you memorize, because you already should have lost the fight. It not being random is what doesn't make sense unless you're used to CS.
