Trigger Type

Trigger Type refers to the firing mechanism within primary and secondary weapons. The fire button (default LMB ) has varying effects depending on the equipped weapon.

List of Trigger TypesEdit

• Automatic, or auto for short, also known as Full-Auto, shoots a continuous stream of bullets while the fire button is held down.
• Auto-Spool is a type of automatic fire that gradually builds up fire rate the longer the fire button is held down.
• Semi-Automatic, or Semi-Auto for short, fires a single bullet per press of the fire button.
• Burst is a type of semi-automatic fire that shoots two or more bullets, often in a burst-like fashion, per press of the fire button.
• Auto-Burst is a combination of automatic and burst firing types that shoots two or more rounds while the fire button is held down. Currently exclusive to the Battacor.
• Duplex shoots one round when pressing the fire button, and shoots another round when releasing the fire button. Exclusive to the Tigris, Sancti Tigris, Tigris Prime, and Zylok.
• Held is a type of automatic fire that shoots a continuous beam, exclusive to Continuous Weapons. Unlike automatics that fire bullets, these beam weapons often consume ammo at a halved rate and multishot generates extra instances of damage without affecting status chance, but possesses limited range.
• Charge builds up power in a weapon while the fire button is held down, and shoots when the fire button is released. A cicular bar appears on the reticule to indicate charging. Some chargeable weapons require a full charge to fire, while others fire automatically at a full charge.
• Active is found in deployable grenade launchers and landmines causes the fired shot to linger for a few seconds. The active shot can be manually detonated using the Alternate Fire button (default MMB ).
• Thrown is a trait in all Spearguns that throws the weapon using the Alternate Fire button (default MMB ). The thrown weapon has varying effects once it connects to a surface. The thrown weapon cannot be used until manually retrieved or it automatically respawns in the player's hands after a few seconds.
