// PVP ROLE

6 damage per bullet but 17.15 shots per second. That's 102.9 DPS raw. The highest fire rate weapon in the game. In CQC where every pellet lands, Bobcat melts players faster than anything that isn't a shotgun. The 20-round mag at Tier IV empties in 1.17 seconds.

// THE MATH

6 damage body, 12 head (2.0x). At Tier IV 17.15 shots/sec, 20 body shots through Light takes ~1.11s. 22 body through Medium takes ~1.28s. Highest raw DPS of any automatic at close range.

VERDICTYour CQC secondary. Pair with Ferro, Renegade, or Osprey.
// HOW BOBCAT COMPARES
Bobcat vs Stitcher

Post-1.17.0, Bobcat is the better SMG for PVP. Stitcher got nerfed (damage 7 to 6.5, headshot 2.5 to 1.75, dispersion +50%) while Bobcat was untouched. Bobcat has higher fire rate and better spray consistency.

Bobcat vs Canto

The new Patch 1.22.0 medium-ammo SMG. Bobcat uses Light ammo (Very Weak ARC pen). The Canto uses Medium ammo (likely Moderate ARC pen). If the Canto fire rate is close to Bobcat, it offers better utility at lower cost. Bobcat still wins on raw close-range DPS. Stats pending.
