Strategic Analysis: Repeating Shotgun
In the current meta, the Repeating Shotgun occupies a niche position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 1.000s at close range makes it viable in most combat scenarios. The weapon requires 3 shots to eliminate a full-health target at close range, 3 at medium range, and 4 at long range.
With 120 rounds per minute and a 30-round magazine, the Repeating Shotgun can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 0.500s 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.
