Numbers below are live — read from the running servers' effective config, including any hot-reloaded balance tuning. The curves are computed by the same compiled code that scales damage in game. Everything is also editable: change any knob to explore; Reset returns to server values.

The handicap

One signed index t summarizes how dominant you are (K/D, headshot rate, killstreak, level, and the mode's progress axis, weighted and eased). t = 0 is neutral; +1 is fully dominant; −1 is struggling. All three multipliers are driven by the same t, so they hit their extremes together: dominate and you deal less, take more, and level faster — all at once.

Simulator

Seeded from the live server config. Edit anything — player state, stat levels, card picks, handicap knobs — and every readout and curve recomputes. Abilities, crits and headshots are excluded (parity with the in-game HUD's base readout). Edited fields get an amber outline.
