About this page
The changes come from CODMunity's own balancing data, entered for every update, and are shown as released. Current TTK is the average time to kill of each weapon's top-rated build in today's meta ranking, at the range that suits its playstyle, so it reflects the game now, not on patch day. Pick rate is the CODMunity page-view pick rate described above.
