Strategic Analysis: Railgun in GTA Online

In the current meta, the Railgun occupies a niche position. Its fast time-to-kill of 0.000s at close range makes it a top-tier pick for aggressive players. The weapon requires 1 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 1 at medium range, and 1 at long range. With 20 rounds per minute and a 1-round magazine, the Railgun can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 1x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 0.000s with consistent headshots. Range performance sees damage drop to 100% at medium range and 100% at long range. Players should feel confident taking fights at any distance.
