Reload Time

**Reload Time** is a weapon stat which determines how long it takes from the start of the reload until you are able to shoot again. Decreasing a weapon's reload time will always increase its damage per second, but is limited by rate of fire (RoF) and magazine. Generally, a weapon with high RoF, low magazine and/or high reload time will benefit the most from a decrease in reload time. Eliminating reload time entirely enables Infinite? magazine.
