Strategic Combat Analysis

The Renegade is a rare lever-action rifle featuring 35% damage, a 3% fire rate, and an 8-round magazine. The Renegade is arguably the most dominant mid-to-long range PvP weapon in the game due to its incredible precision and high headshot multiplier. When upgraded to level 4, its fire rate increases by an enormous 75%. To optimize the Renegade, you must equip a Stable Stock III, which instantly resets the weapon's dispersion recovery time between lever-action pulls, allowing for perfectly accurate, rapid follow-up shots.
