🔒 LOCKED: Hitbox Volume, ADS Obstruction, Rarity Tier & Stealth Index
212th Battalion Trooper
- ✓Standard male hitbox maintains competitive integrity.
- ✓Dorsal profile is less visually intrusive than other models, offering minimal long-range target enlargement.
- ✓Helmet structure provides minor visual break-up in specific urban environments like Classy Courts.
- ✗Prominent white armor (hex #FFFFFF) offers poor camouflage against green biomes such as Reckless Railways.
- ✗Helmet's vertical extension adds 6 pixels to head profile, potentially increasing headshot vulnerability.
Best biome: Grand Glacier
Captain America
- ✓Standard male ADS perspective remains unobstructed.
- ✓No unique audio cues to betray position.
- ✗Captain America's shield adds approximately 18 pixels to the dorsal profile width, creating a significantly larger target for long-range sniper engagements.
- ✗Vibrant blue and red color scheme (e.g., blue hex #0000FF) contrasts 2.5 times more sharply against natural terrain than muted alternatives.
- ✗Bulky shield animation can obscure peripheral vision during rapid third-person rotations.
Best biome: Unfavorable in all biomes due to inherent visibility issues.
