Strategic Combat Analysis

The Ferro is a common, break-action rifle with 40% damage, a 1.6% fire rate, and a 1-round capacity. The Ferro is the ultimate budget ARC-killer. A level 1 Ferro possesses incredibly high armor penetration and can consistently strip the leg armor off Queens and Matriarchs. Its mandatory reload between every single shot makes it highly risky for fast-paced PvP, but it remains a staple for PvE farming.
