Performance Overview
Stiletto’s low recoil and high accuracy make it viable against hostile raiders but its light ammo limits effectiveness against ARC enemies due to weak armor penetration. Rapid fire spreads become erratic, so controlled engagement is advised. The rifle’s quick reload and moderate fire rate give it an edge over the Renegade in some situations, yet overall it remains a niche choice for heavy‑fighting scenarios.
