A Record-Breaking Window — With 158 hits, patch 4.9 is by far the most active patch in SnareBears history: nearly triple the previous best of 69 hits in patch 4.6. The ledger grew faster this round than in any earlier sweep.

Broadest Crew Ever — 32 unique raiders logged hits this patch, the largest participation ever (the prior high was 19). Every third raider in the operation's history showed up at least once between July and August.

501.3M aUEC Swept Up — The total plunder of the patch, 501,324,719 aUEC, dwarfs the previous record of 207.5M in patch 4.6. In value alone, this single window out-earned the two preceding patches combined.

Quantity vs. Quality — Barecgesh led with 60 hits (the most of any raider), yet SadAnt topped the ledger by value at 51.2M aUEC from 51 hits — proving efficiency edged volume on the biggest haul of the patch.

Gold Dominance — Gold appeared in 86 of 162 commodity instances (53.1%) — more than the next four commodities combined — making it the clear target of the era and explaining the record total value.

The 8-Pirate Score — The patch's single biggest haul (14.3M aUEC) was ripped from Clickbait3796 at Rustville by an eight-member crew — the largest raiding party of the round — though it still fell just short of patch 4.7's 14.95M single-raid record.
