Damage and timing model
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Rate of fire | 120 |
Any shots-to-kill or TTK value is a calculation based on the recorded damage and rate of fire. It can diverge from live play because armor, range falloff, hit location, latency and a later patch may change the result.

Compatibility was observed in the captured Alpha dataset. A listed part is not automatically the best part: price, weight, aim time and recoil trade against one another.
Ammunition and running cost
| Load | Per round | Against standard | Tracer |

| Buckshot | — | — | — |
| Rifled Slug | — | — | — |
Treat ammunition as part of the loadout price. A cheap gun can become an expensive life when magazines and specialized rounds are included.
How to use this record
Choose the optic and magazine around the expected engagement distance, then cost the complete life. Fire rate, damage and modelled TTK are only a starting point; recoil, aim time and real hit rate decide whether the weapon fits you.
- Repeat tests at the same range and armor state
- Compare the base weapon with the complete attachment build
- Keep enough cash for at least one useful respawn
What still needs a live-build check
- Current shop price, unlock level and new-player discount
- Recoil pattern, aim-down-sight time and attachment modifiers
- Damage falloff, armor interaction and hit-location multipliers
- Whether every listed attachment remains compatible after the latest patch
