THE SHORTLIST
Power first. Difficulty beside it.
The three highest overall weapons sit beside the leading assault rifle, with their true global ranks shown. Recoil, one-clip forgiveness and attachment need remain separate.

LOADOUT LAB
Cover what your first gun cannot.
Start with the weapon you already have. Get three complementary partners based on close, mid and long-range coverage—without pretending attachments are guaranteed.
START WITH ONE GUN
Complete the loadout.
Pick the weapon you already have. The lab finds partners that cover its weaker fight ranges without inventing exact distance breakpoints.

How this works: S, A and B-tier partners are considered first, then ranked by weapon power and the range gap they cover. A lower-tier weapon is only a fallback if the available pool cannot produce three strong choices. Range coverage is a broad tactical profile, not damage fall-off; attachments are deliberately excluded.
SIGNATURE TOOL
TTK, without fake distance.
Compare up to five weapons. Change armour, hit profile and attachment tier without pretending ordinary bullets lose damage as they travel.
No distance axis: ordinary Apex bullets do not have conventional damage drop-off. This compares mechanical TTK from the trigger pull, with burst gaps, charge, wind-up and required reloads included. The comparison link preserves every selected gun and setting.
SHOTGUN RANGE LAB
Pellets decide the range.
Shotgun pellets retain their damage. What changes with range is how much of the expanding blast pattern still intersects the target.
PELLET CONNECTION MODELCentred shot · fixed blast pattern
EVA-8 Auto7 × 8Mozambique17 × 3Mastiff Shotgun19 × 5Peacekeeper11 × 9
EVA-8 Auto5m: 5610m: 5620m: 28
Mozambique5m: 5110m: 5120m: 51
Mastiff Shotgun5m: 9510m: 5720m: 19
Peacekeeper5m: 9910m: 9920m: 55
This is not damage fall-off. Each connected pellet keeps its listed damage. The estimate counts which pellets in the extracted fixed blast pattern intersect a centred 0.55m × 1.2m target. Pattern units use a declared 0.1° visual calibration—not a verified engine constant. Aim error, movement, random spread, headshots and choke are excluded.
NO FAKE PRECISION
Mechanical facts stay separate from player skill.
Power assumes skill
The ranking does not subtract points because recoil is difficult or a magazine is unforgiving. Those appear in a separate use-difficulty rating.
Recoil is relative
Every recoil rating is a percentile inside its own class. An AR is judged against ARs, never SMGs.
Mechanics stay real
Bursts, charge time, wind-up and reloads remain in the TTK model. Temporary charged states are compared separately instead of being assumed permanently active.
