@gearbox can you guys make it so when you hold the trigger down he’ll keep shooting? I think a lot of people can’t use him Cuz you have to keep pressing the trigger to burst fire like the BR on halo but it doesn’t feel the same as the BR, if that makes sense

Wouldn’t that just make his basic attack his ultimate?

how hard is it to push a button every second?

Not that hard, unless you do that for an hour or two straight.

I guess I’ll give an explanation. The Xbox one controller has defect in the triggers. Theyou stick and squeek really bad after a while. I’ve already gone through 2 controllers since Aug 15. I’m pretty sure the dmr and br from halo 5 didn’t help…
Dear god, that doesn’t sound good. Personally, I’ve always enjoyed burst fire and pulling the trigger like mad, but with xbox controllers apparently that bad I can totally understand your concern.
Huh, mine just squeeks a lot…
Anyway, so something like the “full auto” upgrade on Destiny’s pulse rifles? Where it fires a burst, pauses, fires another burst, pauses again, ect.
Because as I hinted at, changing his primary weapon to true full auto would make his ultimate redundant and require half his kit to be changes.
This what I was saying. Burst fire but just hold the trigger. I didn’t say full auto fire like his ult

Cool. Glad that’s cleared up.
Interesting. Played a lot of shooters and still have same Xbox controlles for two years and mines does not have that problem. Maybe you are wearing your controllers out too fast or just have a bad batch of controllers.

Thats what I’m thinking but I’m on my third controller now and it’s starting to do it again…There’s a lot of other people reporting the same problem with temporary fixes but it’s beyond annoying
I’d like an option for this a lot, as a quality-of-life thing, and I play on PC.
In PvP it’s not so bad, due to the higher-speed, higher-mobility environment often requiring adjustment between shots anyway. But trying to shoot your way through a story missions as WF can feel real tedious, especially on Advanced. He’s got the same raw DPS as Oscar Mike but has to click 9 additional times per magazine to achieve it, and being regularly put up against almost-immobile enemies that take a couple of mags to drop (let alone bosses) makes that get real old after 30 minutes. 
No, seriously, Whiskey Foxtrot is unplayable for long periods of time unless you enjoy getting tendinitis. There is a slight pause between his shots so it’s not like his Ultimate where he can simply unload in a single stream of bullets. I can’t play him as is, so I hope this changes (keep the shot delay between firing though or you’ll end up with middle scroll button clip unloading).
Join the Mike Republic! With one press of the trigger your whole magazines of metal murdering marauders will see you to victory!

I could not play him for that very reason. After a few sessions, my trigger finger was in pain because of that burst fire. Keep the burst, but not the need to pull the trigger every time, it would not hurt anything as far as I can tell.
If u look at gears of War carbine it’s burst fire but you just have to hold the trigger down. No constantly tapping the trigger. I’m not trying to be lazy here, it’s just I’m worried about more wear and tear on my controller
I still have my day one launch xbox controller and both my triggers are fine… My A button the other hand that’s a different story; Evolve jetpacks are to blame 
You guys would never have made it in the Corps
I don’t see why it couldn’t be implemented though, I mean, if someone on the other team would like to hold the trigger down instead of resetting and adjusting their aim, then I’m all for reducing their accuracy.
