Where it sits
The all-rounder primary. Most people take this slot first because it covers the widest range of engagements without giving up the mid range. It is a standard launch unlock, available to every player who reaches the required level — no edition purchase required.
How to unlock it
Hyeon Burst becomes available at player level 21. Create-a-Class itself unlocks at player level 4, so this is one of the later weapons in the progression rather than a day-one option. Use the unlock tracker to see exactly what else your current level has already opened.
What to test
Fire the first fifteen rounds at two ranges and note where the pattern settles and how long it takes to recentre. Change one attachment at a time and keep notes — a change that feels better is not always the change that performs better.
What is not published yet
Activision has not published damage, range or time-to-kill figures for the launch arsenal, and this page will not invent them. Any ranking you see elsewhere is a guess until the game is in your hands and you have measured it yourself.
