Burst is a special attack that can be performed with select-fire weapons, SMGs and Assault Rifles.

This is an unconditional special attack, meaning it is a special attack that does not have a cooldown or require special conditions to trigger. As of 1.0.4, special attack damage bonus from Smart Module, Smart Goggles or other sources no longer works with unconditional special attacks. See Category:Unconditional special attacks.

Starting combat from real-time mode with Burst will fire only one shot. This is a known issue that's not easily fixable. As a workaround, enter turn-based mode Enter first. [1]
