Raw Reference Notes

From the 7 Aug 2026 closed alpha (25 weapons). Bulkhead have confirmed 37 weapons at Early Access launch, so this list is incomplete and any entry may change or be cut. No official stat sheet has ever been released.

RPM/muzzle velocity are the platform's own baseline figures for this build. Damage has never been published for this weapon (the source frames damage+RPM as its "two base figures" but only publishes RPM). Magazine size (6) isn't from a formal stat table — it's read off this weapon's own flavour description as a "6-shell pump action shotgun", not a chosen attachment, so it's included but flagged as a softer source than the other platform figures.
