*I’m sort of debunking* [*this recent popular post*](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/17ie0np/awp_now_gets_inaccurate_when_taking_damage/)*, which shows the crosshair getting blurrier to “prove” that the aim is off when getting shot:*
**TLDR: The blurriness of the AWP crosshair is a visual bug. It does not reflect the accuracy. BUT, sometimes there’s a brief “aimpunch” caused by taking damage** ***even with full body armor and helmet,*** **making the AWP inaccurate.**
Below is a clip of me getting dinked by a glock (there should be audio as well in the clips). **Despite the crosshair being blurred, the shot that I take is accurate.** Same happens with damage taken from grenade and molotov ([another similar post](https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/17jfdiz/the_awp_does_not_become_inaccurate_when_taking/) on this). Don’t know why the game makes the crosshair blurry despite the shot being accurate. Could be a bug.

Below is a clip of me taking body damage from a glock. Here it shows me getting “aimpunched” **despite having body and head armor**. I’m not moving my mouse.
While this particular clip shows this “aimpunch” happening everytime I get shot, I’ve found that it doesn’t happen *every* shot… but it does happen very frequently.
[In these clips it looks like I have mp\_damage\_headshot\_only 1 on. I was using this because I kept dying to body shots when I was trying to replicate headshots. But you can hear the audio cues showing that I’m getting hit.](https://reddit.com/link/17jgklc/video/f1uzaaa0d8xb1/player)
Below is a clip where I shoot when I’m “aimpunched”. Remember that the impacts reflects the moment I shot (subtick magic), but the shooting animation plays a bit later.
Looks like this what happened with monesy’s [clip](https://twitter.com/Ozzny_CS2/status/1718628301550325853) on Anubis. If you look at 0:20 of that twitter clip, you can see the crosshair flicking up briefly.

I’m not sure if this was already in CSGO & please feel free to test this yourself.
The AWP goes fully innacurate when taking damage in CS2 ⚠️
Even if you have full armor (kev + head), the AWP becomes innacurate when taking damage.
You can see the compairason between CSGO & CS2 in the video below, this also explains the popular clip where @G2m0NESY got CS2'd.… pic.twitter.com/h410hNfaUM

Damn bro nice post. It’s weird how the scope actually got blurry when you took damage, but your shot was 100% accurate? Weird game
Inb4 the next posting debunking this post that debunks the other post that debunks the first post, comes along debunking all the posts, becoming the true Victor /s.
Sigh…
**Aimpunch happens even if you’re wearing armor, just a lot less.**
This has not changed since CS:GO.
