BALL x PIT Autofire Guide

MMO

Oct 16

Autofire might sound simple in Ball x Pit, but it’s the backbone of your entire run. The game practically begs you to flip it on from the start, and once you do, you’ll see why. It turns the chaos into progress, letting you focus on positioning and dodging while the screen fills with bouncing destruction.

How Autofire Actually Works

When you start a run, you can toggle autofire right away (press F). Once active, your character continuously launches balls toward the aim direction you set with the right stick. These balls ricochet across walls and enemies, dealing consistent damage while you steer your hero with the left stick.

Because you’re always firing, your main job shifts to staying mobile, avoiding enemy projectiles, and collecting XP gems as they drop.

Why You Should Always Leave It On

Ball x Pit’s combat relies on constant pressure. Enemies are basically walls that move and shoot, and autofire ensures you’re never wasting time between shots. The game is designed around this nonstop rhythm. Turning autofire off usually just slows your damage and breaks the flow.

It’s better to keep it on for nearly every scenario, even during boss fights where positioning matters most.

Movement and Aim Strategy

Even with autofire on, your aim still matters. The right stick adjusts the stream angle mid-fight, so you can bounce shots into clusters or ricochet around corners. Staying mobile is key. Move to scoop up experience drops, dodge incoming fire, and refine angles as you go.

Since enemies advance from the top of the screen, it helps to shoot diagonally instead of straight up whenever possible to maximize ricochets.

Combining Autofire With Ball Types

Each run lets you hold up to four unique balls. You can evolve them into stronger versions or fuse them for stacked effects. Autofire amplifies all of that because it keeps those effects constantly active. For example, leech balls restore health faster when firing nonstop, and laser balls cut through lines of enemies with every ricochet. The more balls bouncing, the more insane the damage spread gets.

Laser balls: great for piercing through groups
Leech balls: best for long survivability
Baby ball types: multiply fast, perfect for autofire spam
Fusion combos: stack multiple bonuses at once

Small Moments To Toggle It Off

There are only a few times you might turn it off. Sometimes, you’ll want manual aim to line up a precision shot at a boss weak point or to trigger a fuse pickup safely. Outside of that, it’s almost never worth stopping the stream. The whole design of Ball x Pit rewards you for keeping the chaos alive.

Final Blurb

Ball x Pit’s autofire is more than a convenience setting. It’s the secret to keeping your screen alive with bouncing mayhem and nonstop XP gains. Once you flip it on, you’ll rarely touch the trigger again. Just move smart, aim clean, and let the pit fill with glittering explosions.

FAQ

Does autofire reduce accuracy or power

No, autofire doesn’t weaken your damage. It just keeps your current shot type active at all times.

Should I turn it off for bosses

Not usually. Only toggle it off if you’re lining up something specific like a fusion target or hard corner shot.

Can every hero use autofire the same way

Yes, every hero benefits equally. What changes is how their default ball interacts with their passive bonuses or fusions.

Is there any penalty for using it constantly

None at all. It’s built to be left on for the entire run.
