๐ Time-to-Kill (TTK) & DPS Analysis
When analyzing raw combat efficiency, Time-to-Kill (TTK) is the most critical metric. In the 0-10m range, the Anvil delivers a TTK of 2.00s, while the Hairpin clocks in at 3.73s.
This gives the Anvil a clear mathematical advantage in face-to-face duels. A difference of 1.729s might seem small, but in ARC Raiders's fast-paced server tick rate, it often determines who survives a trade.
In terms of Damage Per Second (DPS), the Anvil outputs 95 damage, compared to the Hairpin's 88.
๐ Recoil Control & Effective Range
Controlling your weapon is just as important as its raw damage. The Anvil features a challenging recoil pattern.
At medium range (20m+), damage drop-off begins to impact performance. The Anvil retains 80% of its damage, resulting in a mediocre TTK of 4.90s.
๐ Handling & Tactical Mobility
In competitive situations, handling speeds often dictate the winner of a surprise engagement. The Anvil features an ADS speed of 200ms, while the Hairpin transition takes 150ms.
