Strategic Analysis: Machete in GTA Online
In the current meta, the Machete occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 6.000s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 7 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 8 at medium range, and 9 at long range.
With 60 rounds per minute and a 0-round magazine, the Machete can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 1x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 6.000s 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.
