Fire Rate is the weapon stat that describes how quickly a weapon can fire. It is usually shown in rounds per minute, or RPM.
How It Is Used
A higher fire rate means a weapon can fire more shots in the same amount of time. This can make a weapon stronger in close fights, but it can also make it easier to waste ammunition or lose control during automatic fire.
Fire Rate is mainly useful for automatic, burst-fire, and otherwise repeating weapons. Semi-automatic-only weapons do not show a Fire Rate box on their weapon pages, because their practical speed depends on how quickly the player fires each shot.
Examples
- A weapon listed as 600 RPM can fire up to about 600 rounds per minute while firing continuously.
- Some weapons may have more than one firing-speed option or fire mode.
