How the unlock systems differ
Steam confirms that reputation levels unlock more weapons and equipment, weapon challenges unlock attachments, and kills with each gun unlock skins. A level unlock, an attachment challenge and a cosmetic skin are different goals; check which requirement the current menu shows.
The named attachment categories include sights, magazines, grips and suppressors. The store does not publish a full weapon roster, damage table, recoil curves or the numerical effects of each attachment. We have not independently measured those values.
Pick one problem to solve
Start with a weapon you already have, then choose the distances and mode you want to practice. If targets are difficult to read, compare available sights. If repeated reloads interrupt objective play, inspect magazine options. Treat these as test questions, not claims that a specific attachment always improves the gun.
Change one attachment at a time and repeat the same bot-match drill. Keep the map, route and engagement distance similar so you can notice what changed. An impressive clip is not evidence of a universal best loadout when the range, opponent and build differ.
Check presets after an update
Patch 1.0.10 reports fixes for loadout presets not saving and progression display. Reopen the preset after editing and check the end-of-match progress before assuming a missing attachment is an unlock bug. For weapon ranking, our tier-list page provides a decision framework until measured weapon data is available.
