Also known as: AF-, af.
AF stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of AF across different fields and industries.
AF (Auto-Fire) in gaming refers to a feature or setting that allows a weapon or ability to fire continuously without the player needing to repeatedly press the trigger button. Commonly found in shooters, RPGs, and mobile games, auto-fire simplifies gameplay by automating attacks, which is especially useful for fast-paced combat or grinding. Related terms include rapid-fire (manual spamming of the fire button), toggle fire (switching between single/burst/auto), and turret mode (stationary auto-targeting).
Auto-fire can be a gameplay assist (helpful for beginners) or a balance issue (if it grants unfair DPS advantages). Some games restrict it to specific weapons (e.g., machine guns) or modes (PvE vs. PvP). Confusion might arise with AFK ("Away From Keyboard," implying inactivity) or Aim Assist (auto-aiming, not firing). Pros and cons include ease of use vs. reduced control over shot timing.
