Change rate of fire is missing ?
I played ARMA3 a lot before I stopped for a few months. When i came back to play it i fond that the "change rate of fire" function has been missing from the game. And i could not find it in the keyboard mapping menu. I tried pressing F but nothing happened.

I am using the latest patch with APEX DLC. I have removed all mods. Please tell me how do i change rate of fire. And where to find this in the key mapping menu ? It's very embarrasing to ask this because i am not a newbie.

you use 1 to change primary rof and 2 to change secondary rof

That's the primary & secondary weapon. Not the rate of fire.

Yeah, this should have already been a big issue. I don't know why i could not find any topic regarding this. It's as if hamburgers are missing from the world but people have not noticed it.

Check your key bindings. It definately is still there. Are you sure the weapon allows RoF changes?
MOMO & YUNA Dec 10, 2017 @ 12:56am 
I don't see any line regarding rate of fire in the keybinding menu.

Are you really talking about ROF, or about firing modes? Most guns don't allow a change to ROF. Only some miniguns / gatling-type guns come to mind. If you mean firing mode (single, burst, auto), it is still there as always, if the gun has different modes iRL.

I did however notice that last time I flew the Little Bird, the M134 miniguns (what I think they are iirc) did indeed seem to have lost their variable ROF option. So if you are only talking about that, then yeah.

I found it , it's called "Next Weapon" in the key binding menu. But it should be called "Rate of Fire" (single, Burst, Auto). Thank you everyone.

Yes, "Next Weapon" use is inconsistent with other games, and counter intuitive. heartc I'm reporting you for harassing language. It's a game. Deal with your issues elsewhere - therapy is very helpful.

Did you really need to necro a nearly 3 year old thread to say that?

It should be "Next Weapon" as in "Next Weapon firing mode" I guess it was too long to jot down and so they cut it. I don't think we'll ever know.

Finally!! "next weapon" doesn't make any f... sense!!

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
