Game build 16 data from 10/17/2026 19:00

How we measure

This is fighting only: PvP and war (GvG). Only fight stats count: STR, DEF, SPD, CUN, VIG, HP, PvP Power and, in Build 16, crit chance. Crime, reward, jail, bail, energy and business effects don't count.
The order was validated in simulation. We put each item on 66 different STR, DEF and Vigor builds, from all-DEF to all-Vigor, and simulated the duels for each one with the Build 16 rules: crits on every hit and counter, bursts in two rolls and whole-number damage. The item that wins the most on average goes first. Since everyone sets up their build their own way, to fine-tune the pick for your build, test it in In the Crosshairs.
Don't have the first one on the list? Use the second. Don't have the second, the third, and so on. The number is the order: 1 is the best in the slot. In slots with 3 spots (weapon, backpack, jewelry), equip the first 3 you have.
Godfather (red), Kingpin (yellow) and Syndicate (purple) are included, in the game's colors. The purples show the way up until you get the best ones.
When two items are nearly tied, the shows up next to the name. Hover (or tap) to see when one beats the other. The right-hand column shows how much chance you lose using the item instead of the last one that makes the cut.

Items that no longer drop from any crime (e.g. Armored Jacket, Hacking Rig, Book: Haste, Book: Poison, Book: Intimidation, Book: Second Chance, Book: Evade, Book: Fury, Book: Aim) are left out. There's only one Kingpin helmet (Spec-Ops Nightframe) and no Kingpin belt — on the belt, the next one after Godfather is Syndicate.

When two items are nearly tied

Some items are better for almost everyone, and some pairs end up tied. On the pairs that tie, the shows up next to the name. What you need to know:

Stats always help a little. STR, DEF, SPD, CUN and PvP Power improve your chance to hit and not get hit in every fight.
Vigor and HP help in jumps. You drop after a certain number of hits. A few extra HP only make a difference when they let you take one more full hit; then the difference is big. If they don't get you there, they change nothing.
That's why some items “win most of the time, but barely” (the stat one) and some “win less often, but by a lot” (the HP one).

How to choose: when in doubt, go with the one the tip says wins in most builds. Want to be sure for your build? Open In the Crosshairs, load your character, test one item and then the other, and keep the one that wins more duels.
