- Long Burst
- Single Shot
- Dual Shot
And using some weapon mods you can also get an accuracy bonus when hitting the same target. There is also an accuracy bonus while aiming and to scale your Crit chance with your Merc level.
AA12
Whenever in combat you should always try having yourself covered with both long and short-range attacks. So when you want to deal with your enemies up close, AA12 is an excellent choice of weapon. With it, you get a 12-gauge round with reduced recoil. It also offers you firing modes like Shotgun Shot, Distracting Shot, and its special firing mode the Buckshot Burst.
PSG1
Speaking of long-range coverage, carrying a PSG1 is a good idea. This is a two-handed sniper rifle that offers high damage and even light armor penetration. While it only gets two modes that is Single Shot and Distracting Shot, this gun offers you a high crit chance.
FAMAS
No good weapons list can be complete without an AR rifle especially when a game has good options for them. Dealing against tough enemies? FAMAS offers you heavy armor penetration. Since it is an Assault Rifle, it offers you the following modes:
- Burst Fire
- Auto Fire
- Single Shot
- Distracting Shot
While its damage is a bit low you get an increased bonus while aiming.
