12 rounds × 10
| Shield | Shots | Time | One magazine? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Shield (75 HP) | 8 | 15.00s | Yes |
| Medium Shield (125 HP) | 13 | 25.71s | No — needs a reload |
| Heavy Shield (200 HP) | 20 | 40.71s | No — needs a reload |
At 10 damage per shot and 28 RPM, the Burletta strips a Light Shield in 8 shots (15.00s) and a Heavy Shield in 20. Breaking a Heavy Shield takes more than the 12-round magazine holds, so plan on reloading mid-duel or opening with a different weapon.
Factoring the 1.3s reload in, real damage output settles at 4 sustained DPS — 99% below the 280 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 3 pistols in ARC Raiders, the Burletta ranks 2nd for DPS and 3rd for damage per shot. Its closest performance rivals are Hairpin (180 DPS) and Venator (587 DPS).
The Burletta is a common pistol in ARC Raiders, currently rated D-Tier tier in the Nomadic Envoys patch 1.29.0 weapon meta. With 10 damage per shot and a fire rate of 28 RPM, it puts out 280 DPS — placing it in the upper-mid range for sustained damage output. The 12-round magazine and 1.3s reload window mean you need to land your shots — this weapon punishes spray-and-pray and rewards precision.
Recoil sits at 25/100, which makes the Burletta manageable with short controlled bursts and a steady left hand. Effective range tops out around 28/100, so the Burletta excels in close-quarters brawls inside buildings, tunnels, and around extraction points. It feeds on light ammo (40% armor penetration), so it punches through Heavy shields and lets you contest armored Raiders directly.
