Strategic Analysis: Sawed-off Shotgun

In the current meta, the Sawed-off Shotgun occupies a competitive position. Its moderate time-to-kill of 0.667s 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 3 at long range. With 180 rounds per minute and a 30-round magazine, the Sawed-off Shotgun can secure kills within a single magazine. Its headshot multiplier of 2x means skilled players can reduce TTK to 0.333s 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.
