In the early game I tend to shoot very differently than when in the late game. Each shot is aimed more carefully and often clicked individually with intent to land as many head shots, boxes, and soul orbs as possible per clip.
I think it is a shame that later in the game it becomes far less practical to play in this way because fire rates go up and general character movement is faster.
Bolt Action's goal is to reward this methodical approach to shooting but still allow auto/continuous fire.
Note(Base Fire Rate): Base Fire Rate is applied separately AND before any other fire rate modifiers. Base Fire Rate also reduces the number of shots needed to trigger "buildup per shot" ability and item effects.
Note(Passive): Passive weapon accuracy decrease works using the same system/mechanic as Intensifying Magazine. This means you'll generally want to avoid holding down the fire trigger with this item as it will destroy your accuracy.
Note(Balance): The overall damage increase may be too much or too little. Right now this basically gives you the damage of a Glass Cannon but reduces your first rate by a little over half. As Point Blank gives you ~70% weapon/bullet damage, I think it is a decent starting point.
