Assault Rifles Out-Performing Their Roles

S ranks are given to assault rifles that have good performance and/or require very little resource to reach decent status. Some of these require a bit of practice with recoil management but the advantage they give is worth the effort.

M4A1 - Best Assault Rifle Setup

All-Range Easy To Use Weapon

Despite numerous changes, M4A1 is still a very easy to use weapon with minimal recoil and no weird muzzle climb patterns. It is a reliable and steadily performing AR that can deal with most battlefield situations.

Practice Recoil Control For Ranged Targets

M4A1's recoil pattern was changed in past updates. Now, it would require some practice if you are aiming to extend the weapon's effectiveness at hitting targets from afar (which you should). Use bots to get practice easily!

Kilo 141 - Best Assault Rifle Setup

Easily Accessible All-Rounder

Kilo 141 is a weapon you can get a hold of very early. It has very minimal recoil compared with other weapons and has solid performance stats that allows it to be wildly customized. Its low recoil also means that it performs steadily at range.

Decent ADS& Recoil

The main advantage of Kilo 141 is its soft Aim-Down-Sights speed and very easy to handle recoil. While it is not the fastest shooting Assault Rifle, these 2 characteristics make the Kilo 141 able to respond to most situations for almost anyone.

Ram-7 - Best Assault Rifle Setup

High RoF & Quick ADS

The Ram-7 has a high Rate of Fire (RoF) and can down targets quickly, while its fast Aim Down Sights (ADS) speed makes getting your sights on target a very relaxing job. Ram-7 has more recoil than others, but if mastered it can turn into a beast of a weapon.

Recoil Needs Some Getting Used To

Ram-7 has a bit more kick per shot and the recoil bounces to your left when auto firing. It may take some practice to fully adapt to this

Ram-7 Recommended Attachments

FAL - Best Assault Rifle Setup

All-Range Semi-Auto Rifle For Veterans

FAL could deal heavy damage up close & to the head after recent buffs while retaining its good damage at range, making it a good weapon for picking people off or brawl with. Its effectiveness is largely swayed by the user's skill level.

Practice Recoil Control

FAL has a up-kicking recoil pattern that may seem steep but is very controllable with practice. We recommend players get used to the weapons by setting up bot matches.

FAL Recommended Attachments

Attachment	Reason
Compensator	Better recoil management
XRK Marksman	Increases range and velocity
Canted Hybrid	Adds a scope for short to mid-range encounters
FORGE TAC Stalker	Better aiming stability and steadiness

CR-56 AMAX - Best Assault Rifle Setup

Hard-Hitting, Accurate 7.62 Rifle

First introduced in Season 4, the CR-56 AMAX boasts a higher damage per shot at a slower fire rate. Its good damage and range profile as well as moderate recoil makes for a very competitive main weapon to use up close and afar. Players looking for a bigger bang per shot will enjoy this weapon.

AN94 - Best Assault Rifle Setup

Insane Burst Damage With Hardly Any Recoil

AN94 fires the first 3 rounds as a quick burst that has hardly any recoil before reverting back to full auto, shredding their targets if all 3 shots hit. The burst also makes it easier to hit longer ranged targets, letting AN94 perform well beyond most standard range.

Practice Burst Resetting

By letting go of the trigger immediately after firing the burst, you can reset the burst so that you can fire off bursts in quick succession. This technique requires some practice especially under stress but is pivotal to this weapon's performance.

AN94 Recommended Attachments

Attachment	Reason
Monolithic Suppressor	Monolithic Suppressor provides superior sound suppression and increased range. Moderate weight increase affects agility.
AN-94 Factory X-438mm	Experimental 438mm extended barrel pushes the operational limit fo this weapon with progressive rate springs and a case hardened chrome-moly bore.

AS VAL - Best Assault Rifle Setup

High Damage, High Fire Rate & High Recoil

AS VAL has good damage profile, a high fire rate, decent ADS speed in a full package that can shred targets up to mid range very quickly. However, its fast fire rate with its steep vertical recoil can be hard to hit targets consistently if not familiarized. Even so, AS VAL's fast kill time gets it an S rank.

Practice Recoil Control For Ranged Targets

AS VAL's would require some practice if you're aiming to extend the weapon's effectiveness at hitting targets from afar (which you should). Use bots to get practice easily!

Attachment	Reason

Best Assault Rifle Criteria

Role Fulfillment

Different assault rifles have separate roles based on the restriction of its stats, that makes them better suited for different roles such as a mid-range rifle or close quarters weapon. Whether the ARs have the stats or attachments to maximize these roles are part of the considerations.

Versatility

A weapon gets higher ranking if it can perform multiple roles. If a weapon can be effective at range even if its primarily a close-quarters weapon, then it gets a higher ranking.

Accessibility

How soon these Assault Rifles can be acquired is also considered in the ranking. If a weapon takes forever to grind out, then it may affect its ranking since players might be better off grinding attachments for other weapons instead.
