Fire rate implies the frequency in which projectiles are disbursed. Various mods can be used to increase the fire rate of primary and secondary weapons. This not only includes bullets/lazers but also the throwing knife category. Most fire rate enhancing mods are placed on the weapon itself, but some such as Fired Up are placed on a sentinel. Fire rate is naturally the main factor that raises the recoil of weapons and ones with high fire rates are advised to be combined with recoil reducing mods like Stabilizer. Fire rate also reduces the spin up time of weapons that gradually gain speed such as the Gorgon, Deth Rifle, Soma and Supra.
Singular fire rate mods
Speed Trigger - Increases the fire rate of rifles by 15% at base level and 60% at max.
Shotgun Spazz- Increases the fire rate of shotguns by 15% at base level and 90% at max.
Gun Slinger - Increases the fire rate of secondary weapons by 12% at base level and 72% at max.
Dual fire rate mods
Dual fire rate mods are obtained from Nightmare Mode and combine increased fire rate with another positive enhancment. These mods are often weaker than their singular counterparts, but are useful during stacking.
Accelerated Blast - Increases the fire rate of shotguns by +15% and puncture damage by +15% at base level. (+60% fire rate and +60% puncture damage at max level)
Lethal Torrent - Increases the fire rate of secondary weaponds by +10% and multishot by +10% at base level. (+60% fire rate and +60% multishot at max level)
Alternative fire rate mods
Fired Up - Increases overheat by 10% at base level and 60% at max. This mod is known to positivly affect fire rate, but the exact percentages are unkown. It is installed on the sentinel.
Negative fire rate mods
These mods are found within corrupted vaults in the Orokin Deralict missions.
