    Strategic Analysis: Midnight's Pistol

    In the current meta, the Midnight's Pistol occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 1.200s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 6 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 6 at medium range, and 8 at long range. With 250 rounds per minute and a 30-round magazine, the Midnight's Pistol can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 0.480s 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.
