45 damage body, 90 damage head (2.0×). One headshot strips a large chunk of any shield's EHP. Follow up with a Ferro or Venator shot and they're dead. The 80.3 range stat is the highest in the game. This is the weapon for players who like to start fights on their terms.

// THE MATH
45 body damage, 90 head (2.0x). 2 headshots kill through Light and Medium. 3 headshots through Heavy. At Tier IV the fire rate hits 0.82 shots/sec.
// VERDICT
The play: Open with a headshot from range, swap to secondary, push the wounded player. Osprey + Venator is the "one-two punch" loadout. High skill ceiling. Deadly in the right hands, dead weight if you miss.
