Weapon Fire-rate toggles are a great way of altering your weapon’s accuracy for varying distances.
Single fire should give you the accuracy and recoil control you need to land consistent potshots on your enemies for long-range shots. Burst-fire works well for close-quarters combat where you are sure that you can land all the burst-shot bullets on your enemies. Finally, Full-auto works awesome for mid-range combat as long as you can control your weapon’s recoil.
