Act 5 · Patch 13.06
Classic
Sidearm · Semi · free
Through a heavy shield at close range, Classic needs 6 body shots.
Always in the slot — the pistol round floor and the save-round answer. Bands published to 50 m · magazine 12 · reload 1.75s · wall penetration low.

The duel, in numbers
- Body shots, heavy shield
- 6
- Head shots, heavy shield
- 2
- That burst takes
- 0.74 s at 6.75 / s
- Best band
- 0–30 m
The burst time counts the gaps between shots, not the shots — the first bullet leaves at zero. It is how long the burst lasts, never how fast you react.

Patch 1.042020-07-21
- Running spread is changed from3.4to2.1
- primarily a bug fix
- Jumping spread changed from1.9to2.3
- Walking spread changed from1.9to1.95
- Added a 10% bonus to accuracy when crouching and stationary
- Intent is to feel consistent with crouch providing an accuracy benefit
Why, in Riot's words
running was adding a 1.5 penalty because it was referencing our generalized running error curves for pistols

- Recoil pattern
- First-shot deviation
- Bloom per shot
- Wallbang % per surface
- Sample size
Riot publishes a single wall-penetration level and no recoil figures at all. This weapon’s level is Low — the rest of that column would be invented to fill the shape of a drawing.
