Primary Attack

The primary attack is the main attack of a weapon or an alien. It's used with the left mouse button by default. Don't confuse "primary attack" and "primary attack button". The primary attack is really an attack. The primary attack button is the button used for this - but it can also be used to build something when you are playing a granger. Grangers even don't have any primary attack.
