When to Pick Each
PICK KETTLE WHEN
You have good aim. The 2.5x headshot multiplier rewards precision at medium range.
PICK STITCHER WHEN
Spray and pray close quarters. Full auto is more forgiving than semi-auto.
KETTLE STRUGGLES WHEN
Full auto fights. Semi-auto can't match sustained DPS up close.
STITCHER STRUGGLES WHEN
Range. Post-nerf bloom makes it inaccurate past short range.
