It has an extremely high rate of fire, however due to being semi-automatic, its high rate of fire can only be achieved by rapidly clicking the primary fire button.

While scoping,  Movement Speed is reduced by -10%, additionally it gains a stacking damage bonus, requiring the player to make quick burst attack to utilize the bonus. The bonus is kept when scoping is off.

### Mobile Version

Stub*This page is in early access. You can help Gunfire Reborn Wiki by upgrading it!*TODO: Is this Mobile information still accurate?
Woodpecker's fire mode is automatic instead of semi-automatic and it has a slightly larger magazine, but has a much lower RoF.

## Impactful Inscriptions

Woodpecker receives average bonuses from most inscriptions compared to other weapons. **Stability** is useful to keep aiming at weak spots.

* Decreases to **RoF** can be almost completely ignored while taking full advantage of other bonuses, due to its very high rate of fire and semi-automatic firing.

## Ineffective Inscriptions

* **Elemental procs** are not very reliable, the chance to inflict an effect is about 39% each second.
* **Accuracy** has minor benefit.

## Possible Exclusive Inscriptions

Woodpecker has more than one weapon-specific exclusive inscription:

* ◈ +30% Weapon DMG, +1.0x CritX, and shots do not consume ammo within 2s while using ADS grants various bonuses when scoping. It increases damage output by up to +67% and allows for Infinite? magazine if refreshed repeatedly.
* ◈ +0.5x CritX for every crit hit within 2s of zooming in (up to +10.0x) can increase the weapon's CritX by up to +285%, provided critical hits can be constantly landed at an incredibly fast pace.
* ◈ A mark will be generated upon Crit Hit on a normal enemy. Hitting the mark will directly defeat the enemy will cause a blue swirling mark to appear randomly on the enemy each time they are hit with a critical hit. The mark lasts for 2.5 seconds, or until a new mark is created. Shooting the mark triggers an  Instant Kill?.
