Chad Score, demystified

Every kit gets ranked on five sub-scores (effectiveness, survivability, mobility, value, profit), each normalized 0–100. The Chad Score is just a weighted sum — drag the sliders and watch the leaderboard re-rank in real time. Different modes weight differently because Forbidden punishes mobility-light kits less than Lockdown does, etc.

The 5 sub-scores

Effectiveness

(ammo.pen / avgEnemyArmorClass) × (ammo.dmg × gun.fireRate / 60) — pen-adjusted DPS against the mode's enemy mix.

Survivability

(armor + helm + rig durability) / avgEnemyDPS × 0.9 — seconds of incoming damage you can absorb.

Mobility

(1 − totalWeight/130) × 100 × (1 + totalErgo/100) — encumbrance × handling.

Value

effectiveness / totalCost × 1000 — bang per koen.

Profit

expectedLoot × pSurvive − totalCost × (1 − pDeath × insurance) − entryFee — insurance-aware net Koen per raid. Forbidden has zero insurance recovery so kit cost lands fully on losses.
