Strategic Analysis: Pipe Bomb in GTA Online
In the current meta, the Pipe Bomb occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 2.500s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 2 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 3 at medium range, and 3 at long range.
With 30 rounds per minute and a 1-round magazine, the Pipe Bomb can may require a reload mid-fight. Its headshot multiplier of 1x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 2.500s 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.
