Strategic Analysis: Pump Shotgun in GTA 6
In the current meta, the Pump Shotgun occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 1.000s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 2 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 4 at medium range, and 11 at long range.
With 60 rounds per minute and a 8-round magazine, the Pump Shotgun can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 1.5x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 1.000s with consistent headshots.
Range performance sees damage drop to 40% at medium range and 15% at long range. Players should strictly engage within close range for optimal results.
