What's shaping the meta
- 01
No hipfire bloom: hipfire shots go exactly where the gun points, and weapon motion now affects where bullets land.
- 02
Launch balance pass: SMGs got stronger at close-to-mid range; one-shot weapons had flinch and damage tuned.
- 03
Apex Attachments are the reward for maxing a weapon and don't take up an attachment slot.
- 04
Create-a-Class unlocks at Player Level 4 — use Default Loadouts until then.
- 05
Weapon XP and camo progress are shared between Multiplayer and DMZ; Warzone joins in Season 1.
- 06
Perks use a pick-three system (one from each slot) and scorestreaks are tied to your class.
- 07
11 of the 33 launch guns weren't in the beta, so expect the meta to move in the first weeks.
