How this page knows

Everything here comes from comparing two structural snapshots of the game's own data files - build 23930444 against build 24929887. It is not a changelog anyone at the studio published

It reads 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 from here

It covers only what those files store - weapon stats, traits, legendary skins, and the same enemy and mechanic figures the rest of this wiki tracks. Anything a patch changes outside that, from the interface to audio, netcode, map layouts and matchmaking, is invisible to it

No entry for a weapon does not mean nothing changed there. It means the comparison found no difference in the fields it reads

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