Quick Shot

Quick Shot is an ability introduced in Resident Evil 6.



Performed by pressing both triggers to "aim" and "fire" simultaneously, they home in on nearby enemies and have a higher chance of a Critical Hit. This consumes one bar of the combat gauge and it cannot be performed if the gauge is depleted.

Overview
Quick Shots can only be used by the seven protagonists of RE6 and not the enemies available in Agent Hunt. Despite its name, the quick shot can be used with non-firearms. The Combat knife, Sherry Birkin's Stun Rod, and Jake Muller's hand-to-hand comabt all have quick shot attacks. Some weapons, such as Ada Wong's Crossbow, will reload automatically following a quick shot.

Unique Quick Shots
Many weapons are used by muiltiple characters, but some are given unique quick shots to accentuate a character's proficency with that weapon.
 * Leon S. Kennedy's quick shot when he is dual weilding handguns is actually multiple shots in rapid succession which consumes up to three bars of the comabt gauge but can fire up to five times.
 * Chris Redfield is given a unique quick shot with the combat knife. Like his back-dash, its a double-slash but much faster and direct. This attack can stun most enemies from no damage, leaving them open to a "coup de grace".
