At 25m using Regular ammunition, the Litchfield Repeater is mathematically superior, killing the target 1.50s faster.
| Weapon Property | Litchfield Repeater | Varmint Rifle |
|---|---|---|
| Base Damage | 65 | 25 |
| Rate of Fire (RPM) | 100 RPM | 160 RPM |
| Headshot Multiplier | 2x | 2x |
| Magazine Capacity | 6 rounds | 6 rounds |
| Reload Speed | 2s | 2s |
| Weapon Type | Repeater | Rifle |
| Rarity Tier | Common | Common |
| Range Falloff (Close) | 100% | 100% |

"Analyzing the combat data, the Litchfield Repeater emerges as the clear victor at close range, shredding targets 2.825s faster than the Varmint Rifle."
In ranked, close-range consistency is king. The faster TTK of the Litchfield Repeater makes it the meta choice.
Easier recoil control makes the Varmint Rifle much more forgiving for new players.
The versatile range of the Litchfield Repeater pairs perfectly with a Sniper Rifle.
When analyzing raw combat efficiency, Time-to-Kill (TTK) is the most critical metric. In the 0-10m range, the Litchfield Repeater delivers a TTK of 1.80s, while the Varmint Rifle clocks in at 4.63s.
This gives the Litchfield Repeater a clear mathematical advantage in face-to-face duels. A difference of 2.825s might seem small, but in Red Dead Redemption 2's fast-paced server tick rate, it often determines who survives a trade.
In terms of Damage Per Second (DPS), the Litchfield Repeater outputs 108 damage, compared to the Varmint Rifle's 67.
Controlling your weapon is just as important as its raw damage. The Litchfield Repeater features a challenging recoil pattern.
At medium range (20m+), damage drop-off begins to impact performance. The Litchfield Repeater retains 90% of its damage, resulting in a mediocre TTK of 1.80s.
In competitive situations, handling speeds often dictate the winner of a surprise engagement. The Litchfield Repeater features an ADS speed of 240ms, while the Varmint Rifle transition takes 240ms.
