About this report

Everything here comes from comparing the game at build 23930444 against build 24929887, figure by figure. It is not a changelog anyone at the studio published

It compares numbers, icons and localised text. It cannot read intent: a stat that moved for a balance pass and one that moved as a side effect of an unrelated rework look identical here

It covers what the rest of this wiki tracks - weapon stats, traits, legendary skins, and the enemy and mechanic figures. Anything a patch changes outside that, from the interface to audio, netcode, map layouts and matchmaking, is not shown

No entry for a weapon does not mean nothing changed there. It means no tracked figure moved

44 records changed only in their wording - a pass that rewrote “Cannot” as “Can’t” and similar. Not counted as changes above.
