Strategic Analysis: Bolt Action Rifle in GTA 6
In the current meta, the Bolt Action Rifle 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 2 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 2 at medium range, and 2 at long range.
With 30 rounds per minute and a 5-round magazine, the Bolt Action Rifle can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2.5x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 0.000s with consistent headshots.
Range performance sees damage drop to 100% at medium range and 95% at long range. Players should feel confident taking fights at any distance.
