Method

How these rankings should be read

Criteria

Extraction value first

Solo safety, team coverage, route control, and the ability to leave with loot matter more than highlight damage.

Confidence

Current-patch, editorial

Exact skills, cooldowns, weapon stats, and map data need a named patch or reproducible test before they can change a ranking.

Update rule

Date-stamp every change

When a class, weapon, or map route changes, update the relevant guide and explain what evidence changed the ranking.
