How these guides are made
Every page is verified against the current build, with sources: claims visible in the game's own UI are stated as fact, claims from one streamer's footage are labelled as player reports, and anything unconfirmed says so in plain text. Numbers you see come from screens we can show — see how we verify for the full method.
