◢ READING THE DIAGRAM
Toggle ammo and armor to see the kill map change. Against heavy armor, hollow-point (HP) rounds can make unarmored zones (groin, arms, legs) deadlier than the torso — armor covers the chest and stomach but not the limbs, so a round that is stopped by a plate still does full damage to an exposed limb. That is not a glitch; it is why ammo choice and shot placement matter. Armored zones also show the extra shots needed to break the plate first.
Handling, muzzle velocity, accuracy (MOA), effective range, magazine, and reload stats aren’t published yet -- we show measured ballistics and time-to-kill from community testing, never guesses.
ATTRIBUTED— ballistics and time-to-kill from Evo4Fun in-game testing workbook, sheet dated 30/10/2026 (attributed); fire rate from community in-game shooting-range testing by Swoleguy (YouTube), released for community use, 2026-09-10, attributed, not owner-verified. Superseded by first-party data when Bulkhead publishes.
ATTRIBUTED— Price and unlock follow Bulkhead's Season 02 patch notes where they state them; otherwise community-aggregated Season 1 values.
Combat numbers for 30 of 34 weapons come from the Evo4Fun in-game testing workbook, sheet dated 30/10/2026. We treat it as Season 2 data; the sheet names no patch. 4 weapons still use September 2026 data that predates the Season 2 patch of October 14, 2026: AMR 50, Compound Bow, M500, MP43. Prices and unlock costs were updated from Bulkhead's patch notes. Combat numbers are being updated. Source: Bulkhead's Season 02 patch notes (Steam, Oct 14, 2026)
