| Shield | Shots | Time | One magazine? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light Shield (75 HP) | 2 | 3.39s | Yes |
| Medium Shield (125 HP) | 3 | 6.78s | Yes |
| Heavy Shield (200 HP) | 5 | 13.56s | Yes |
At 45 damage per shot and 17.7 RPM, the Osprey strips a Light Shield in 2 shots (3.39s) and a Heavy Shield in 5. A full 8-round magazine covers even a Heavy Shield, so you can commit to the fight without a reload window.
Factoring the 2.8s reload in, real damage output settles at 12 sustained DPS — 98% below the 797 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 2 snipers in ARC Raiders, the Osprey ranks 1st for DPS and 2nd for damage per shot. Its closest performance rivals are Jupiter (462 DPS).
The Osprey is a rare sniper rifle in ARC Raiders, currently rated B-Tier tier in the Nomadic Envoys patch 1.29.0 weapon meta. With 45 damage per shot and a fire rate of 17.7 RPM, it puts out 797 DPS — placing it in the top damage bracket among all ARC Raiders weapons. The 8-round magazine and 2.8s reload window mean you need to land your shots — this weapon punishes spray-and-pray and rewards precision.
Recoil sits at 58/100, which makes the Osprey demanding — full-auto only at close range; tap-fire at distance to stay accurate. Effective range tops out around 88/100, so the Osprey excels in long-distance engagements where most other Raiders are still closing the gap. It feeds on medium ammo (42.5% armor penetration), so it punches through Heavy shields and lets you contest armored Raiders directly.
