A new toggle in settings will be able to add Full Auto to all weapons, as Bungie said players have responded well to the Full Auto Retrofit mod. It’ll be looked at again after Lightfall to see if it can roll out to more weapons. The team is also looking at how this can apply to Glaives, Swords, and roaming Super melees.
