The Accessories are split up into three sections: Optics, Primary, and Secondary. Accessories are special attachments or modifications you can make to your gun that are useful for different situations.
You fire your weapon and it becomes 0/114īattlefield 3 has added a ton of Accessories for each weapon. You fire your weapon and it becomes 25/120. You will start out with an extra round in your chamber 31/120. Furthermore, if you completely empty your gun, it will take about a second longer to reload your weapon.Ī quick example would be if you had 30 rounds per magazine and 120 rounds extra. If you completely empty your weapon, you will only have the ammunition that can be held in the magazine. This is supposed to resemble a tactical reload. The reload time will be a lot quicker, too. Every time you reload with at least one bullet in your gun, you will still have that extra bullet in your chamber. This extra round is in the chamber of the weapon (the chamber being the area that keeps the round before it is fired out of the barrel). When you start out, almost all of the weapons will start out with a full magazine of ammo, plus one round extra. It's a bit more complicated this time around. In previous Battlefields, you would reload your weapon to get the rest of your ammo to fit in your current magazine (a magazine being the item that holds your ammunition). It's best to use Semi Auto when firing long range, Full Auto is best for close range, while Burst Fire is best for medium range.Īnother simple concept has been altered for Battlefield 3. Your hands on screen will do a slight motion signifying the change, and it's done. All you have to do is click DOWN on the D-PAD for consoles to switch between the different fire modes. Some even have the option for two round or three round Bursts.
Single Shot: You must reload after each shot is fired.Īssault Rifles, Carbines, and Personal Defense Weapons usually have the ability to switch between Full Auto and Semi Auto. Bolt/Pump Action: The weapon cannot fire another round until a short action is performed in between each shot. Burst Fire: Pulling the trigger fires two-three bullets at a time. Semi Auto: Pulling the trigger fires one bullet at a time. Full Auto: Hold the trigger down for continuous fire.
