Auto Fire

Auto Fire is a feature that was added on July 1st 2016. It can be used by any tank. It is activated by pressing E on the keyboard, and is deactivated the same way.

Function

It allows the player to continuously fire bullets without the need to click their mouse or press space. There is a heading near the top of the screen that notifies the player that Auto Fire has been turned on/off, when the E key is pressed.

If you are of a class that uses Drones, such as Overtrapper, Overseer, Overlord, Manager or Necromancer, Auto-Fire will cause your drones to continually follow your mouse pointer. Shift (or right-click) will still make them fly away from your cursor, even with Auto-Fire on.

Strategy

Auto Fire can be useful when playing as a fast shooting tank, where it doesn't matter when you shoot a bullet (this works great with Octotank with Auto spin activated). However, when you're playing as a slow shooter like the Destroyer, and you need to time your bullets perfectly, Auto-Fire can work against you, instead of helping. If you are in TDM and you have to go away from the game for a while, turn on Auto-Fire (E) and Auto-Spin (C) in your safe zone, and you will rack up points and levels slowly but surely, so if you come back later (as long as no one has pushed you out of the safe zone or has killed you), you could be level 45 with doing little work.

Trivia

• If the Auto Fire is on, the player toggling it won't be kicked out of a server.
• Auto Fire was a common feature in hacked clients before the developers officially added it.
• At different timing, bullets can be shot out randomly depending your tank(e.g. Twin).
  • This can essentially make a twin or triplet a machine gun.
