Check three relationships separately: ammunition to magazine, magazine to weapon, and attachment to its mounting point. A shared calibre or similar item name does not prove that every part fits.
Before you start
- The exact weapon and variant name.
- The intended magazine, ammunition and attachments.
- The current vendor or a sourced compatibility record.
Season 02 progression changes
Role-track total XP now includes 25,000 for level 10, 54,750 for 15 and 111,500 for 20. Many equipment gates move: M4 to Assault 28 / $150,000 unlock; AMP-9 to Medic 20 / $75,000; M249 to Support 20 / $150,000; MAAWS to Support 18 / $100,000. TCX-SPR, PP-19 Bizon, Evo-3 Ultra and M14 are released additions, with their own magazines. Older track tables are historical unless specifically corrected below.

Season 02 optics and protection
Mosin now uses the new PU 91/30 scope and no longer accepts its former other optics. The PP-19 Vityaz 50-round drum moves to Medic level 21 / $15,000; this does not establish the 30-round magazine gate. Level 3 armor and helmets reduce damage by 50%; Level 4 by 60%. Level 3 / 4 helmets reduce suppression by 68% / 80%. No complete compatibility or hit-count table is inferred.

Assemble in a clear order
The player vendor walkthrough treats the weapon, magazine and ammunition as separate selections. Our recommended check extends that sequence to each optional component.
- Select the exact weapon.
- Check which magazine the current interface accepts.
- Check the ammunition supported by that magazine.
- Add each attachment separately and inspect the assembled result.
- Review the quantity and price of every component before paying.

Read a complete magazine tooltip
At 7:03–7:08, Strider’s footage identifies the PP-19 Vityaz 30 RND Magazine, its 30-round capacity, 9×19 mm ammunition and PP-19-only fit. The prepared version shows 30 Standard (FMJ) rounds loaded.
This is a source-scoped example from the range. Its zero prices cannot establish normal vendor costs. The separate 50-round drum previously required Medic level 29; the released 0.2.0 notes above move it to level 21 / $15,000. Neither gate establishes access to the 30-round magazine.

AMP-9 narration and inventory at 5:41–5:52 show a 20-round magazine occupying one cell. Range entries display zero prices; these do not establish normal vendor costs.

Buy protection through the Gear tab
JA Guides Gaming’s capture shows separate Helmet, Armor and Vest slots. A vest selection does not fill the Armor slot. The shop displays a newcomer discount, so its shown charges cannot establish normal prices.
- Open the equipment vendor and choose Gear.
- Select Helmet or Armor, then inspect the item and any unlock payment.
- Return to the overview, review the purchase and confirm.
- Check the equipped gear and displayed weight.

Keep evidence specific to the relationship
Our reference standard treats compatibility as a connection between exact records. “Fits M4” is more useful than “rifle attachment”; a statement about one variant should not silently cover every variant.
If a pairing has not been checked, its status remains unconfirmed. A missing relationship is different from evidence that the parts are incompatible. A planner must also flag an unpriced part rather than giving it a zero cost.

Common problems
- A loose ammunition stack does not replace a magazine.
- Similar display names can refer to different capacities or variants.
- This procedure does not establish a complete current compatibility matrix. Follow each linked record’s evidence status.
