Renegade
The Renegade is a Rare lever-action, medium-ammo battle rifle and one of the best PvP guns in the game — S-tier for mid-range dominance thanks to a 2.25x headshot multiplier and ~69m range on cheap ammo. It rules player-vs-player but lacks the armor multipliers to be a top PvE farmer, which is why it sits Moderate on the armor-pen axis.

- +High-value, forgiving in hectic PvP skirmishes.
Weaknesses

- −Struggles at very close range without an SMG or pistol backup.
Why This Tier
Moderate on the Overall (ARC armor-pen) axis despite being an S-tier PvP rifle — it dominates player fights but lacks the armor damage that axis ranks.
