Actually I think rapid fire was intended feature since FL features weapon groups. I didn't use rapid fire at all at first. Gatlings and WSPs already have good rate of fire. However I then set up half-salvo firing, a compromise between firing all guns at once and full on rapid fire. Relatively easy to set up and use, and really helps with weapons like Ther'hon Cannons and/or against nimbler NPCs, but not as impressive as full-on rapid-fire. As for starting...

Then before firing I fire that weapon group and then instantly press and hold RMB, the rest of the guns fire while the group weapons are reloading.Rapid-firing is essentially doing the same for each gun individually.It does not modify weapons themselves, but it makes energy consumption more spread-out in time. However, you are…

Half-salvo would be 14, 23, 14, 23...

As someone who picked some fights with Dom'Setek, I can say that rapid-fired Ther'hons are a nightmare.Though non-rapid-fired Ther'hons are also pretty terr…
