Strategic Extraction Analysis

In the current meta, the Magnum MC occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 3.000s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 10 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 11 at medium range, and 16 at long range. With 180 rounds per minute and a 12-round magazine, the Magnum MC can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 1.000s with consistent headshots. Range performance sees damage drop to 85% at medium range and 60% at long range. Players should prefer close-to-medium range encounters.

๐Ÿง  Combat Intelligence

In combat, the Magnum MC boasts 99 DPS and achieves a 3.00s TTK (300HP). It fires at 180 RPM, dealing 33 base damage per shot. Against armored targets, TTK increases to 7.50s.
