Assault Rifles Stats and Strategy Guide
Assault Rifles (AR) are the most balanced weapons in the game, being reliable at close- to long-range. While nearly all available assault rifles at the moment have very similar stats and characteristics, it is worth noting that the M416, SCAR-L and M16A4 are arguably the best in the category (at least at the moment). The SCAR-L has lower stability and mid-range power, but a high rate of fire. This means that it is better at close-range than the M16A4, in addition to being very easy to come by while exploring the map. It also uses the very common 5.56mm ammo.
The M16A4 is also easy to find in the game, and uses the same common ammunition as the SCAR-L. It has outstanding effective range, as well as having very good damage per shot.
The best assault rifle in the game is arguably the M416. It has the best overall stats of any assault rifle in the game, boasting the highest damage, stability, effective range and excellent rate of fire. It also uses the easy-to-get 5.56 ammunition. However, the M416 is usually found in Georgopol, Sosnovka Military Base, Primorsk, Mylta Power, Yasnaya Polyana, Rozhok and Novorepnoye. These areas are dangerously populated by other players, owing to the high spawn rate of military-grade weapons and equipment.

For assault rifles, it is important to know how to use single-fire mode while aimed down at the sights (first-person view). Firing at a controlled pace will allow you to maximize your aim, most especially when trying to land head shots on your targets. Firing from the hip (third-person view) will have less accuracy, so it is generally not recommended, especially for targets at a considerable distance from you.
