Assault Rifles
28 platformsPatch 1.0.0.142.19Mid-range automatic platforms. The default answer to most engagements.
Role and how to choose
What assault rifles are for
The default answer to most fights: full-auto or burst, intermediate calibers with real penetration options, and the deepest attachment trees in the game. If you are not sure what to bring, bring one of these.
Sort by vertical recoil control first — an AR you can hold on target at 50 m wins more raids than one with a higher damage class you cannot control. Then check the caliber page for what its rounds actually penetrate. Every weapon below has a best-ammo page built from its caliber ladder, and the ammo chart holds the full table.
