Template talk:Stock weapons
Headshot and backstab kill icons (possibly kill taunt ones too)
Currently, the only kill icons listed for the Sniper Rifle and the Knife are the ones for regular attacks. I think we should add the headshot and backstab icons as well, specially since they're the main mechanics of these weapons.
While at it, I think we could add the kill icons for kill taunts too, as I don't see a reason to not add them. - BrazilianNut (talk) 09:27, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
- I saw you just went ahead and did it already, but I support addition of these icons. They very frequently pop up (if you're a good player, anyway) so it seems only natural. As for taunt kill icons, they are less common but I still think they are worth adding simply due to the fact that they might be quite rare so noting their association here would be helpful.

The "All classes" section
None of those are weapons, they're action items.
As GrampaSwood said in a topic on the Stock weapons article's talk page: "Normal is a quality, which is distinct from what a stock weapon is." While the Spellbook Magazine, the Grappling Hook, and the Power Up Canteen are all stock items of Normal quality, they're still technically not weapons, but rather action items.
I think we should remove them from the template and add a "See also" section to the article with links to them.
Opinions? - BrazilianNut (talk) 13:36, 11 September 2025 (UTC)
- What I meant there was more that the quality of Normal is only given to Stock weapons, but the quality itself is not equal to what Stock weapons are. In this sense, I was saying 'Normal is a quality, while Stock means it comes with the game' and that there are other qualities that are only given to certain items but their articles aren't merged because they are not one and the same. I believe the article's name is a bit inaccurate, rather that it's more about Stock items than Stock weapons. That being said, the current article is fine as-is and doesn't need moving nor need removal of the non-weapon entries. Having these not present will simply make people wonder why these items are Stock but not on the article about Stock items.
