How GTA Online Weapon Comparisons Work
In GTA Online, combat superiority isn't just about base damage. Our comparison engine runs a deep mathematical analysis on every single factor that influences Time-to-Kill (TTK) and sustained Damage Per Second (DPS). This lets us precisely declare a winner for any face-off.
Time-to-Kill (TTK) Metrics
We calculate exact TTK by combining a weapon's Rate of Fire (RPM) with its base damage, factoring in target health (typically 200 for a level 100+ player). Our engine calculates TTK at close, medium, and long ranges so you know exactly when a weapon loses its edge.
Damage Drop-off Analysis
Most weapons in GTA Online suffer severe damage penalties beyond 30 meters. Our side-by-side comparison tables reveal exactly how much damage a weapon retains at extreme distances, which is critical for long-range PvP engagements.
By feeding our database directly into a custom combat logic engine, we can provide immediate, scenario-specific verdicts (e.g., "Assault Rifle outperforms Micro SMG beyond 30 meters"). Use these insights to optimize your loadouts for both Heists and freemode PvP.
