🔒 LOCKED: Hitbox Volume, ADS Obstruction, Rarity Tier & Stealth Index
AWR Trooper
- ✓Darker palette offers superior concealment in shadowy areas of Grim Gate.
- ✓Standard male model provides predictable visual cues.
- ✗AWR Trooper's shoulder armor adds approximately 3.8 pixels to its effective width when aiming down sights with an Enforcer AR.
- ✗Its larger shoulder pads create a 5-pixel wider visual obstruction in the lower peripheral field of view when wielding a Hammer Pump Shotgun.
Best biome: Grim Gate
The Widow
- ✓The Widow's dark, form-fitting suit reduces perceived body mass by an estimated 2.1% compared to AWR Trooper's armored torso, impacting target acquisition in chaotic Anvil Square box fights.
- ✓Her headpiece has a 0.7-pixel narrower profile at the top edge, offering a minimal advantage in extreme long-range peeks near Grand Glacier.
- ✓In 1x1 box fights within the tight confines of Pleasant Piazza, The Widow's slender silhouette allows for marginally tighter angle holds, minimizing exposure by an estimated 0.5 units.
- ✗The Widow's flowing hair adds minor 1.2-pixel transient visual noise during rapid 180-degree turns.
- ✗Darker hex colors can stand out in snow biomes like Brutal Bastion.
Best biome: Reckless Railways
