Perk and equipment notes

The cited trackers show no perks. Dexerto and Gaming ProMax agree on the perks and Trophy System. Lethal and tactical conflict: Dexerto has Sticky Grenade and Concussion Grenade. GPM's are used because its builds share the FJX Ghostfire 16.3" and Hanbit TechGrip.

Warzone: 300 health, body shots, every shot hits. Assumes 300 to kill a fully plated player: official Season 1 notes confirm three plates and imply about 300 in total, but the exact health and plate split isn't published. Warzone damage comes from one source.

Source notes

Top-level velocity/adsMs/sprintToFireMs are Warzone base values (CODMunity weapon page and GGRanked Warzone page agree exactly). Magazine 30 per GGRanked, CODMunity weapon page and mw4field; CODMunity's compare page shows 45 and reload 3744 ms (outlier, not used). Head multiplier 1.35 from Season 1 MP patch (1.33 -> 1.35; neck/upper torso 1.08 -> 1.1). MP brackets from GGRanked (0-26 / 27-42 / 43+ m); medium damage 25 and its 42.16 m end match the Season 1 patch (24 -> 25, 40.13 -> 42.16 m). First bracket end (26 m) is GGRanked's rounded value; the patch lists max damage range as '950 -> 1050' without units. MP handling disagrees: velocity 560 (GGRanked) vs 627 (CODMunity compare); ADS 280 vs 323 ms. Warzone profile is GGRanked only (low). DMZ profile is from GGRanked's DMZ page only; the page does not show which mode tab its stats block reflects, so treat as unconfirmed DMZ data. DMZ profile health is null: base health 150 is sourced (DMZ Codex) but armor per plate is not.
