We should be able to hold to shoot

I've realised one of the reasons Zombies feels so much more exhausting to play sometimes, is because all of the characters require you to click for every single shot you do. Even characters like Electric Slide or Cadet's Space station form that shoot incredibly rapidly, require you to click for every single shot. This can really tire out your fingers.

Whereas Oak has a low fire rate, but can just hold the button, as can most other plant characters.

I think allowing the option to hold to shoot would be a great quality of life change.

    Thats a good idea. I think there might be a couple zombies where you can hold down to keep firing and then continue firing even after reload. I think the click to fire each shot should really be something that is saved for when you are zoomed in as deadbeard.

    Megamodz.com sells XBOX and PS4 controllers that have "rapid fire" that does this for you.  I use one and I love it.  Disclaimer:   I don't work for and I'm not affiliated with that company.  I have just owned their product over the years and had good results with them.

    I have horrible carpal tunnel and tendinitis in my fingers that gets inflamed when pushing or holding anything down for very long.  Because of this I have to use a controller.  There are certain characters I can't play (even if I want to) because pushing the trigger down repetitively causes my tendinitis to flare up.  I love characters like the sunflower that keep me from having to constantly push the trigger.  Please please make is so all characters can hold down to shoot.  It doesn't mean we want them all to shoot quick like the sunflower, but not having to constantly click or hold down the trigger to shoot would be great.

    Yea, it's even more important to make this change to make it more accessible to people with actual health problems.

    This.
