Sniper SupportNavy Revolver

The versatile range of the Navy Revolver pairs perfectly with a Sniper Rifle.

Time-to-Kill (TTK) & DPS Analysis

When analyzing raw combat efficiency, Time-to-Kill (TTK) is the most critical metric. In the 0-10m range, the Navy Revolver delivers a TTK of 1.60s, while the Rare Rolling Block Rifle clocks in at 4.80s.

This gives the Navy Revolver a clear mathematical advantage in face-to-face duels. A difference of 3.200s 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 Navy Revolver outputs 113 damage, compared to the Rare Rolling Block Rifle's 38.

Recoil Control & Effective Range

Controlling your weapon is just as important as its raw damage. The Navy Revolver features a challenging recoil pattern.

At medium range (20m+), damage drop-off begins to impact performance. The Navy Revolver retains 90% of its damage, resulting in a mediocre TTK of 1.60s.

Handling & Tactical Mobility

In competitive situations, handling speeds often dictate the winner of a surprise engagement. The Navy Revolver features an ADS speed of 240ms, while the Rare Rolling Block Rifle transition takes 240ms.
