Class decision guide

Compare this class before you choose

The score is relative to this class. Use the public fields as clues, then confirm the trade-off in the Firing Range.

How to choose within this class

  1. Choose the engagement distance and match task first.
  2. Compare score, public fields and vote count together; no single number decides the best pick.
  3. Confirm the result in the Firing Range with the attachments you actually use.

Three match questions

  • Can the weapon recover quickly enough after a missed shot?
  • Can you reload without giving up the objective or lane?
  • Does its movement and handling fit the route you take most often?

Limits and update rule

The table uses the same shared weapon records as the overall ranking. Beta patches, new public fields and community votes can change the result; missing values stay unknown until a source publishes them.
