Strategic Combat Analysis

In the current meta, the Pharaoh occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 2.000s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 5 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 6 at medium range, and 7 at long range. With 120 rounds per minute and a 5-round magazine, the Pharaoh can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 1.000s with consistent headshots. Range performance sees damage drop to 85% at medium range and 70% at long range. Players should prefer close-to-medium range encounters. With a movement speed score of 85, this weapon allows for exceptional strafing and repositioning during fights.
