- ✅ Lucian's Flank has been moved to A tier with a 50% damage increase, and Rowan's Charge has been moved to A tier with a 100% fire rate increase.
- ✅ Rowan's Charge is useful for boss elimination by utilizing its high fire rate as a sticky bomb weapon.
- ✅ Lucian's Flank basically uses Jakobs parts, and the 50% damage increase has made it a better choice.
05:23 - 05:43

07:43 - 08:28
11. 🎮 Gamma Void and Frangible: Cannot Be Ranked Due to Bugs and Deletion
- ✅ Frangible has been deleted from the game and cannot be ranked.
- ✅ Gamma Void cannot be ranked because it currently has a bug that can grant enemies immunity to radiation damage.
- ✅ We will re-evaluate it once the bug is fixed.
08:29 - 09:01
12. 🎮 San Saba Songbird: Rated B Tier After Damage Stack Bug Fix
- ✅ San Saba Songbird can gain a 100% damage increase effect for 5 seconds when swapping weapons.
- ✅ It is a solid Jakobs pistol and has been placed in B tier, and it is fun to use the swap mechanism.

09:02 - 10:05
13. 🎮 Sprezzatura: Upgraded to B Tier Due to Blackout Skill Change

10:06 - 10:43
14. 🎮 Skully: New Halloween Event Grenade, D Tier Due to Level Scaling Issues
- ✅ Skully is a newly added grenade from the Halloween event.
- ✅ It has been placed in D tier because level scaling is not properly applied.
- ✅ It deals the same damage at level 1 as it does at level 50, but it has the potential to be one of the most powerful grenades if level scaling is fixed.
10:44 - 11:56
15. 🎮 Murmur: New Halloween Event AR, Suitable for Thor Build, Bottom of B Tier
- ✅ Murmur is a newly added AR from the Halloween event.
- ✅ It has a special ability that guarantees critical hits when the enemy's HP is below 35%, but it is D tier as an AR due to its low fire rate.
- ✅ It has parts perfectly configured for the Thor build, so it has been placed at the bottom of B tier as a Thor throwing weapon.
- ✅ It can deal a lot of damage when used as a Thor throwing weapon.
