ⓘ

Delay before the attack is released, in milliseconds (1,000 ms = 1 second). When it applies depends on the weapon and animation.

UnknownShot delay

ⓘ

Configured delay between attacks, in milliseconds. This applies to melee swings too. Animation and reload timing can also affect the actual attack rate.
