Heavy Shield (200 HP)	13	22.50s	Yes

At 16 damage per shot and 32 RPM, the Bettina strips a Light Shield in 5 shots (7.50s) and a Heavy Shield in 13. A full 20-round magazine covers even a Heavy Shield, so you can commit to the fight without a reload window.

Factoring the 2.5s reload in, real damage output settles at 8 sustained DPS — 98% below the 512 burst figure. That is a steep fall-off, so this weapon rewards landing its damage in one magazine and swapping rather than reloading under fire.

Among the 5 assault rifles in ARC Raiders, the Bettina ranks 1st for DPS and 1st for damage per shot. Its closest performance rivals are Tempest (440 DPS), Rattler (300 DPS) and Kettle (221 DPS).
