1. Weapons

All weapons are purchasable at the start of each round using Credits. Each weapon has a specific cost, damage profile, fire rate, and spray pattern. Weapons can be upgraded visually using Variant Upgrades and Skin Levels (cosmetic only), but gameplay stats remain unchanged.

Category	Weapon	Cost (Credits)	Primary Use Case
Sidearms	Classic	0 (free)	Default pistol, reliable at close range.
	Shorty	150	Cheap shotgun sidearm for close-range eco rounds.
	Frenzy	400	Full-auto pistol for aggressive close fights.
	Ghost	500	Silent, accurate pistol for stealthy plays.
	Sheriff	800	High-damage revolver, one-tap headshots at medium range.
SMGs	Stinger	950	Fast fire rate, great for close-quarters and eco rounds.
	Spectre	1600	Versatile SMG, effective at close to mid range; common buy on anti-eco rounds.
Shotguns	Bucky	850	Semi-auto shotgun, strong in tight spaces.
	Judge	1850	Full-auto shotgun, devastating at close range.
Rifles	Bulldog	2050	Burst-fire rifle, good for mid-range on a budget.
	Guardian	2250	Single-fire heavy rifle, high damage per shot.
	Phantom	2900	Full-auto assault rifle, silenced, fast fire rate.
	Vandal	2900	Full-auto assault rifle, higher damage but no silencer; one-tap headshot at any range.
Sniper Rifles	Marshal	950	Light sniper, one-shot kill with headshot at any range; cheap for eco rounds.
	Operator	4700	Heavy sniper, one-shot body kill; used in full-buy rounds.
Machine Guns	Ares	1550	Light machine gun, high magazine capacity but slow fire rate; good for suppressing.
	Odin	3200	Heavy machine gun, high damage and fire rate; effective for wallbanging and holding angles.

#### Weapon Upgrades (Cosmetic)

Variant Upgrades: Change weapon color (e.g., Red, Black, White). Obtained by spending Radianite Points and unlocking through Battle Pass or store.

Skin Levels: Some skins have upgradable effects (finishers, sound changes, VFX). Each level requires Radianite Points.

2. Armor (Shields)

Armor provides extra hit points (HP) that absorb damage before health is reduced. It is purchased with Credits at the buy menu. There are two tiers:

Armor Type	Cost (Credits)	Shield HP	Notes
Light Shields	400	25	Cheap, useful for eco rounds or when saving credits.
Heavy Shields	1000	50	Full protection; essential for full-buy rounds.

When to buy: Always buy Heavy Shields if you have enough Credits after buying a rifle. Light Shields are acceptable on SMG/shotgun buys or when saving for next round.

Synergies: Armor stacks with Agent abilities that grant temporary HP or damage reduction (e.g., Sage’s Barrier Orb, Phoenix’s Blaze).

3. Key Equipment

Role: The Attackers (5 players) receive one free Spike at the start of each round. It must be planted on a designated site (A or B) to win the round after the bomb detonates.

Obtaining: Automatically given to a random attacker (or last player who picked it up) at round start. Can be dropped and picked up by any teammate.

Use: Plant by holding the interact key (default `4`) on a spike plant zone. Defenders must defuse it before detonation.

Role: Neutral objects that spawn in fixed locations on each map. Interacting with one grants 1 point toward your Agent’s ultimate ability (usually requires 6-8 points to charge).

Obtaining: Walk over the orb. Each orb can be collected by one player per round.

When useful: Prioritize collecting orbs early to gain ultimate advantage. Some Agents (like Sova or Skye) can reveal orb locations with abilities.
