- Description
-
“Spray n pray” is gaming slang for firing rapidly and indiscriminately instead of carefully aiming each shot. The rhyming phrase portrays the player as relying on volume and luck to hit a target, often when overwhelmed or using a weapon with plentiful ammunition. It is especially familiar in shooter communities and is usually humorous or mildly critical rather than a formal tactical term. The spelling “n” keeps the expression compact and casual, matching chat, reviews, and gamer commentary.
- Example
-
— Did you aim at the boss? — I aimed at the general postcode. — Congratulations, you’ve invented spray n pray.
In the corridor, a panicked space marine emptied an entire magazine into a vending machine, turning spray n pray into an expensive snack strategy.
Makes you think about your shots and burst fire instead of just spray n pray. Feels so much nicer like that over the AFE version.
