Cara kami rank armor dan gear

Criteria differ weapon:

1. Protection class vs. common ammo current alpha meta — not theoretical max armor.
2. Mobility penalty — Roblox movement feel matter peeking dan extract sprint.
3. Storage efficiency — rig slot vs. backpack grid raid goal (loot vs. quest vs. PvP).
4. Repair economy — rubel per raid effective durability.
5. Audio fidelity — headset preserve directional cue without tinnitus filter.

Tier: S / A / B / C / D — same scale weapon, different benchmark.

Helmet — S through D

Helmet protect one-tap dan sometimes headphone slot. Alpha helmet ricochet RNG still get complaint — tier assume average outcome.
