What is not here, and why

What each trait actually does
The character-select screen gives you three trait names per civilian and no descriptions. Hunter’s Sense, Brimstone Fuse, Guardian Shadow, Panic Contagion — the names suggest a lot and confirm nothing, and no official post explains any of them. So this table lists the names, which are facts, and stops short of the effects, which are not published. When someone tests one against a repeatable case, that is the missing piece and it belongs in the game’s subreddit before it belongs on a wiki.
Five civilians with no visible kit
Jennifer Aarons, Thomas Armitage, Lynda Van Der Klok, Bob Simms and Annie Brackett are locked behind player levels 5, 10, 25, 40 and 55, and the character-select screen hides a civilian’s stats and traits until you own them. They are absent from this table for that reason rather than through oversight, and they appear the moment their kit is documented.
Weapon numbers
Michael has five starting weapons and the game publishes no damage, speed or reach values for any of them. A ranking of the five would be someone’s impression from a handful of matches formatted as a table, which is the most convincing way to be wrong. The five are listed; they are not rated.
