Strategic Extraction Analysis

In the current meta, the CE Tactical Sidearm occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 2.100s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 15 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 19 at medium range, and 30 at long range. With 400 rounds per minute and a 18-round magazine, the CE Tactical Sidearm can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 1.6x allows skilled players to reduce TTK to 0.900s with consistent headshots. Range performance sees damage drop to 80% at medium range and 50% at long range. Players should strictly engage within close range for optimal results.

๐Ÿง  Combat Intelligence
