The burst time counts the gaps between shots, not the shots — the first bullet leaves at zero. It is how long the burst lasts, never how fast you react.

  1. Patch 11.082025-10-14

    PC

    • Horizontal (Yaw) switch time increased from0.37sto0.6s
    • Chance for horizontal (Yaw) to switch increased from6%to10%
    • Protected bullet count increased from4to6 bullets

    Console

    • Horizontal (Yaw) switch time increased from0.50sto0.6s
    • Protected bullet count from yaw (horizontal) switching while spraying, increased from5to6 bullets
    Why, in Riot's words

    Protected bullet counts: how many bullets in a spray you can use before your gun has a chance of yaw switch

    Tap Efficiency determines the rate that inaccuracy is accrued when re-firing prior to waiting for the complete duration of a weapon's respective Gun Recovery Time. The higher the Tap Efficiency, the lower the rate of inaccuracy accrual
