For the sake of our fingers and mice, can we please get an official “macro” function in the game? Some players have certain physical pain after playing. Does anyone else feel like their index finger’s about to fall off after a run with Lasguns or Lucius on their Veteran? The tech is clearly doable — there’s already a mod that lets you hold left click for full-auto, and it doesn’t interfere with melee charge attacks. That proves it’s not hard to implement, and people clearly want it. But it’s not just semi-auto weapons turning fingers into cramped claws. Think about it: - **Repeated interactions** — carrying batteries, opening loot crates, grabbing ammo. It all adds up to a lot of pointless clicking. - **Melee weapon combos** — some weapons rely on fixed rhythm patterns for optimal DPS. Manual timing is inconsistent; macros could deliver clean, reliable output. - **Item spamming** — throwing multiple grenades quickly or chaining consumables. Why does this require frantic key mashing when it could be one smooth input? These issues either wear out your hands or distract your focus. But mods have already proven the concept: hold left-click for full-auto exists and doesn’t mess with melee. So why stop there? The logic can go further: - Give certain weapons a “combo assist” mode where rhythm-based attacks loop automatically while held. - Even introduce a “quick-use chain” for items — toss grenades without counting clicks. **This doesn’t break balance** — fire rates stay the same, damage remains untouched, skill ceilings aren’t lowered. It just takes the “you must mash this button repeatedly to achieve normal effectiveness” nonsense and gives our fingers a break. **This isn’t cheating.** It’s letting veterans keep playing for years and not scaring off new players with carpal tunnel syndrome. Fatshark, hear us out. All classes, all players — we’d all benefit. ---

Lmao, I guess you don’t use Grammarly, do u? Using macros to save my hands and software to share my ideas doesn’t make my love for this game any less real — it just means I want to keep playing it. ---

How about you drop down a difficulty if you can’t manage to properly execute when things get to intense instead of flat out asking for cheats to be implemented. The audacity of these ‘people’. ---

“macros” sounds kinda bad, but I admit I use that auto-attack mod for some weapons. Light attack spam became a real RSI problem for me over time. ---

Yes, this is actually what I mean. Maybe Macro is not a good word, but FULL of repetitive keyboard tapping have already hurt me physically. ---

> [@domainking](#): > > **Melee weapon combos** — some weapons rely on fixed rhythm patterns for optimal DPS. Manual timing is inconsistent; macros could deliver clean, reliable output. Pal, you’re lumping in this crap with simple auto-clicking? Really? You can use any number of different software utilities if you have a disability, otherwise anything other than repeated clicks is a no-no. This is where we are now, and why we can’t have nice things. ---

It is not about the correct difficulty or comfort zone, bro. I have beaten havoc 40 several times, but I still believe that some weapons requiring a bunch of repeating action need an official “Marcos” function. ---

Polos! No, it’s because you’re asking for auto-clicks (fine), with macros to perform combos+, (bad, cheats), the dude you’re replying to is correct. ---

Optimal weapon combos on one button is a perfect example of cheating, it’s the same as auto-combo’ing in fighting games without learning the inputs and perfecting your timings on presses. You use optimal combo loops when you can, and not against every single enemy at the press of one button… Weapons like Hellbore, normal lasguns and hive scum’s dual pistols could use official auto-shoot option, though, it’s fair. But in that case there should be some kind of attack speed limit. But yes when I play hive scum in Havoc with dual autopistol it literary hurts by the end of the mission. ---

Then don’t take them? I have specific loadouts for how I feel: knife assault psyker for high input frenzy mode, purga for laid back chill. Las pistol on vet for high input, recon for chill… This game has a wide variety of weaponry which caters to near all wishes. If you choose to take the high input high reward options and complain about carpal then please seek solutions somewhere else( like modding). I would hate for every weapon to play the same. Input key for horde mode, input key for single target mode sound very bland ---
