TTK stands for Time to kill, a gaming slang abbreviation also used in entertainment.

Average time needed to defeat an opponent with a given weapon or in a given game, a key measure of shooter balance. Games are described as having "fast" or "slow" TTK.

Example: The TTK in this game is so fast, you die before you can turn around.

Usage notes

Low-TTK games such as Call of Duty reward reaction speed and positioning, while higher-TTK games such as Halo and Apex Legends reward tracking and teamwork. Developers often change TTK in patches, which can upset players. A related term, TTD, means time to die.
