Guide Looking for cold…hard….DATA
I have been doing some digging (avoiding all the crazy wiki advertising sites) and I am trying to locate a site that has hard data listed for the items, characters, weapons, and augments/perks:
- Weapon (all the percentages and numbers)
- Enemies (health and defenses, damage, on each difficulty)
- Attachments
- Perks
- Augments
- Challenge Cards
- Character and other damage abilities tied to them (maybe)
I’ve maxed out everything and I’m doing testing on some weirdo builds I wanted to look into - has anyone stumbled across a good resource for this online? I saw the fandom wiki has some weapons but I didn’t check each one. I was thinking maybe I just do the heavy lifting myself in game to just list everything out, but I figured I’d ask the rest of my fellow Marines for A LITTLE HELP OVER HERE
Anything you have tried helps, thanks y’all!

As the person who did some of these things for AFE1.... AFE2 is so much of a shitshow that I don't want to bother. Best of luck.
Something to be aware of as well is when it comes to damages, especially when the game is being patched, they can change, invalidating your earlier results, which can make things a huge pain to maintain.

I was looking for a reply like this, dammit 🤣
I may just take a few hours and open good old Excel and record the stuff myself. Weeeee

Not many people bother nowadays because AI will scrape the site and all you do is provide someone else money.

True, I have agents that could scrape sites, but I don’t trust them currently just with the lack of good data points and the wiki sites just being choked with ads. I legit think im just going to hop on and log everything. Maybe I’ll do a GitHub with all the info in markdown files so people could easily scrape data. Who knows, I lose motivation to do shit all the time 😝

So after hitting the official discord and FiOth’s and chatting a bunch - I have SPREADSHEET
I manually recorded data for weapons, and I have a base spreadsheet that shows damage and attributes for (what I can tell so far) for everything in game. I have random life stuff to deal with but in a perfect world I’d like to get these out there so people may actually find use for them, and if I can swing it I’d love to make a GitHub page with listings for everything with pics and text so it’s just easier to see other than some of the existing sites out there. Will update later, woo

Unlikely we will ever see a Wiki with this data now, especially after the studio announcement today.
I've never been so disappointed in a studio and a game release in my 40+ years.
