# GENERIC Fire Activation

***Commonly found under*** <img src="/files/QD9qVpfY3MElYlZAzy8a" alt="" data-size="line">**Settings&#x20;*****in Shooter**-**style GAMEPACKs**,* "**GENERIC Fire Activation**" determines how & when a GENERIC Fire Mode is activated.

There are ***usually*** **5** options to select from...  **Any Fire**, **ADS Fire**, **Fire Only**, **Activate** - **Fully Hold**, and **Block** - **Fully Hold**.  If any of these options are deemed unsuitable for a specific game, its GAMEPACK may be fewer options, or even **NO** GENERIC Fire Activation setting.

## **Options Explained**

**Any Fire** is ***usually*** the default option.  The GENERIC Fire Mode will <mark style="color:green;">**activate**</mark> as soon as your ***FIRE*** button is being ***PRESSED**.*  This is needed in any game that **DOES NOT** utilize an Aim Down Sights (ADS) button.  However, it can be problematic in any game that utilizes your ***FIRE*** button for vehicle acceleration or other alternate gameplay activities.

**ADS Fire** is great for any game where most of your time is spent Aiming Down Sights (ADS).  The GENERIC Fire Mode will <mark style="color:green;">**activate**</mark> as soon as your ***ADS*** & ***FIRE*** button are being ***PRESSED TOGETHER**.*  It will <mark style="color:red;">**deactivate**</mark> the GENERIC Fire Mode while you are ***NOT ADS**.*

**Fire Only** will <mark style="color:red;">**deactivate**</mark> the GENERIC Fire Mode if you are Aiming Down Sights (ADS).  This means that the GENERIC Fire Mode will **ONLY** <mark style="color:green;">**activate**</mark> when you are ***FIRING WHILE NOT ADS*** (hip firing).

The **Fully Hold** options, provided that you use a trigger for firing, will take advantage of your trigger’s analog nature, allowing you to determine when to use the GENERIC Fire Mode:

| While your ***FIRE TRIGGER*** is ***FULLY HELD*** all the way down, **Activate** - **Fully Hold** will <mark style="color:green;">**activate**</mark> the GENERIC Fire Mode. | <p></p><p><img src="/files/v0MAzIgxAKr16xQIjxGw" alt="" data-size="original"></p> |
