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.

Damage/RPM/muzzle velocity are the platform's own baseline figures for this build (not a community estimate). Magazine size isn't fixed — it changes with which magazine (5 or 10 round) is equipped, so it's left blank rather than picking one.
