Strategic Analysis: Marksman Rifle in GTA Online
In the current meta, the Marksman Rifle occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 1.500s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 2 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 3 at medium range, and 3 at long range.
With 40 rounds per minute and a 6-round magazine, the Marksman 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 90% at medium range and 75% at long range. Players should prefer close-to-medium range encounters.
