Find Your Playstyle

Every weapon you pick up has a fixed archetype — a built-in playstyle you can't change mid-match. The archetype tells you how to play that weapon. Collect Weapon Attachment Kits to level it up from Common to Legendary, unlocking one attachment per tier.

Common→Uncommon→Rare→Epic→Legendary

Can't change the archetype mid-match — if you want a different playstyle on the same weapon, you need to find another copy with that archetype assigned.

Attachment colors go from grey (Common, always active) up to orange (Legendary, fully kitted). Click a gem to preview what you unlock at each rarity.
