Fires two bullets simultaneously every trigger pull. 16 damage per pull (2 x 8) with a 2.0x headshot multiplier (32 to the head). What makes Venator S-tier isn't the per-shot damage, it's the fire rate. At Tier IV it fires 5.25 trigger pulls per second. That's 84 damage per second to the body and 168 to the head. The TTK is disgusting.

More trigger pulls than Ferro, but each pull happens much faster. The TTK at close-mid range is among the fastest in the game.

VERDICTThe PVP meta pistol. Easy to find, cheap to craft, devastating at close range.
Venator vs Ferro/Anvil

Different role. Venator is your close-mid range aggression weapon. Ferro/Anvil are peek-shot precision weapons. Many top players run Venator + Ferro together, one for pushing and one for holding angles.
