Fire. Hold. Repeat.

Fire. Hold. Repeat. is a desktop companion loot shooter that runs on your screen while you do other things. Your soldier shoots, throws grenades, fights enemies and collects gear as you click anywhere on your screen; each click is a combat step and earns one shell casing. You choose when to spend shell casings on upgrades, while casings and progress continue to accumulate as you work or play elsewhere.

Combat and stages

Your soldier stands in the center as enemies advance from both sides. He automatically selects the nearest target within weapon range, but only fires when you click. Combat unfolds in real time, with bullets, grenades and damage numbers on screen. The game has 18 enemy types with different behaviors.

Each stage consists of several waves of increasing difficulty, followed by a boss. There are 20 biomes, each with its own environment.

Loot and equipment

Enemies drop gear that a drone delivers to your inventory. You can inspect and equip items, or sell the ones you do not want. Equipment includes weapons, armor, attachments, ammunition, grenades, medkits and pouches; upgrades, levels and stat bonuses support progression.

The game has more than 40 weapons across pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, shotguns and snipers. Weapon types differ in range, fire rate, accuracy, magazine size and fire modes. Weapons have six rarity tiers: Field, Army, Combat, Secret, Hidden and Ultra.

Combat synergies

Weapons of Army rarity or higher can have one of six synergies: Fire, Poison, Explosive, Electric, Pierce or Debuff. Ammunition activates a weapon's synergy, and a grenade with the same synergy makes its effect stronger.
