Autoswing (also known as auto-swing, autofire, auto-fire, or auto-use) is a property that can apply to usable items, such as weapons, tools and blocks, wherein the item is automatically reused (or swung) while the ⚒ Use / Attack key/button is held down. In contrast, weapons without autoswing require that the player repeatedly clicks or presses ⚒ Use / Attack in order to continue attacking.
On this wiki, items with autoswing feature the 
icon in the top-right corner of their infobox.
Notes
- Internally, the
autoReuseattribute determines whether an item has autoswing ability. - Autoswing can be enabled for all weapons in the Settings menu by enabling the "Autofire" option. Autoswing can also be enabled on melee weapons and whips by certain accessories: Feral Claws, Power Glove, Mechanical Glove, Fire Gauntlet, and Berserker's Glove(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).
- Note that none of these actually change the
autoReuseattribute of an item.
