Strategic Analysis: Combat MG in GTA Online
In the current meta, the Combat MG occupies a dominant position. Its fast time-to-kill of 0.400s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 5 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 6 at medium range, and 8 at long range.
With 600 rounds per minute and a 100-round magazine, the Combat MG can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 0.200s with consistent headshots.
Range performance sees damage drop to 85% at medium range and 70% at long range. Players should prefer close-to-medium range encounters.
