03 / FIELD MANUAL

Three progression paths. Track each one.

Player levels unlock weapons and equipment; weapon challenges unlock attachments; kills with a specific gun unlock its skins.

Check the requirements, then practice. Draco and ARP are explicitly named in 1.0.1.8; a complete gun list, damage ranking and best-loadout verdict are still awaiting verification.

Check the official customization details

Named additions: Draco and ARP.

Update 1.0.1.8 adds Draco and ARP and gives all guns one extra clip of starting ammunition. It also increases grenade power and drive-by killstreak health, and renames the bomber killstreak Crashout. Exact gun unlock levels, magazine capacities and balance values are not supplied.

Update 1.0.2.0 nerfs shotguns without numeric changes, removes claymores when their owner dies and fixes weapon-pickup and shooting-state issues. Recheck handling and loadout behavior after updating.

Read the named-weapon announcement Read the subsequent balance and gameplay changes

The full weapon list, count, unlock levels, damage and time to kill remain unverified. A third-party wiki claim of “17 guns” and attachment stats from other shooters are not treated as official data.

Player levels: more weapons and equipment

The developer says matches and leveling unlock weapons and equipment.

Practice method: Check your level and the next unlock shown in-game. Note the requirement for a weapon you want to use, then check your progress after a match.
Still unverified: The full gun list, each gun's unlock level and the XP formula have not been verified.

Weapon challenges: earn attachments

Attachments are earned through weapon challenges, a separate unlock track from player levels.

Practice method: Choose a gun you own and read its challenge description. Practise one requirement at a time; do not assume a previous gun's challenge keeps progressing after you switch.
Still unverified: The number and requirements of attachment challenges, and whether bot matches count, remain unconfirmed.

Sights

The store confirms that sights can be changed.

Practice method: Compare your field of view, target recognition and aiming feel in the same practice setting. Use a sight that helps you identify targets consistently.
Still unverified: Exact magnification, aiming speed and hidden modifiers are not published. There is no verified strongest sight.

Magazines

The store confirms that magazines can be changed.

Practice method: Read the in-game description, then note whether you regularly run out of ammunition during fights before changing your loadout.
Still unverified: Capacity, reload speed and handling penalties need individual verification. Values from other FPS games do not apply.

Grips

The store confirms that grips can be changed.

Practice method: Keep your other attachments fixed, change only the grip and compare how consistently you control your shots at the same distance.
Still unverified: The developer has not published percentage recoil changes for each grip.

Suppressors

The store confirms suppressor customization.

Practice method: Read the in-game effects first, then compare under the same practice conditions. Do not assume a suppressor makes you undetectable.
Still unverified: Effects on damage, range, map markers and audible distance have not been fully verified.

Perks and equipment: complete your loadout

The developer says perks and equipment can be configured before a match.

Practice method: Choose a practice goal for the mode, then check that your selected preset is still saved after entering the game. Patch 1.0.10 announced a fix for preset saving.
Still unverified: The full perk and equipment lists, combination effects and claimed best loadouts still need verification.

Weapon kills: unlock skins

Kills with each gun unlock new skins for that gun.

Practice method: Check progress on that gun's skin screen. Track player levels, attachment challenges and skin kills separately to avoid mistaking them for lost progress.
Still unverified: Do not infer that skins increase damage. Individual skin thresholds have not been fully verified.

Keep a loadout log. Change one item at a time.

Record the game version → weapon → one changed attachment → practice location and distance → observed difference. Compare handling under the same conditions; subjective feel does not establish a measured damage percentage.
