// PVP ANALYSIS
10 damage, 10 shots/sec, 30-round mag. Solid DPS (367 per wiki). The problem is Moderate armor pen. Against geared players with Heavy Shields, Tempest struggles compared to Bettina's Strong pen. Against Light/Medium shields, it performs well.
// SHOTS TO KILL (PVP)
| Shield | Body | Head |
|---|---|---|
| None | 10 | 4 |
| Light (Green) | 17 | 7 |
| Medium (Blue) | 18 | 7 |
| Heavy (Purple) | 22 | 9 |
// VERDICT
Reliable full-auto AR. Use it when you can't afford Bettina.
