ACE32 damage, armor and time-to-kill scenarios
Explore ACE32 hit-location and protection assumptions, compare timing, and test a scenario before your next drop.
Start with the ACE32 reference
The reference record lists 39 base damage, 680 rounds per minute, and 720 m/s muzzle velocity. These values are a versioned community extraction; event variants and later patches can differ.
Understand the calculation before the ranking
At the listed cadence of 680 RPM, consecutive shots are 0.088 seconds apart. Time to kill starts at the first landed shot, so the model uses one fewer firing interval than the required hit count. Armor, mixed hit zones, missed shots, burst delay, and reloads can change the real result.
Test a fair comparison
Put the ACE32 beside a weapon you actually carry and use the same target HP, armor, helmet, and hit location. Inspect hits to kill, firing intervals, and remaining HP. Treat the range penalty as an illustrative training model, not a datamined falloff curve.
Turn it into a repeatable drill
- Review the 2026-10-28 source record
- Keep the practice conditions repeatable
- Change one variable and record the result
