Autoswing

Autoswing or auto-fire is a property that can apply to usable items, such as weapons and tools, wherein the item is automatically swung when the use key/button is held down. In contrast, weapons without autoswing require that the player repeatedly click/press in order to use them repeatedly.

The term Hold to Attack (HtA) is used as a synonym to cover other items that don't swing or fire, like Drills and Chainsaws.

For a list of weapons with autoswing, toggle the HtA-column in list of weapons.
