Attachments listed for TTK and BTK were tested on a player with no body armor and no additional attachments on the gun.

SFAR-M GL Time to Kill (TTK)

The TTK was computed by using the following formula: (60/Rate of Fire)*(BTK-1).

The Standard Magazine will give the SFAR-M the fastest TTK from close to near long range (0-50m). After 50m, the best option for long range would be the High Power ammo type.

Attachment Loadouts

Best Attachments for Close to Mid-Range

The Fusion Holo will give you the clearest line of sight against the enemy, making it the best scope. The Standard Issue magazine has the fastest TTK compared to the other ammo types for the gun, so you will want to use this ammo type for close to near long range (0-50m). The 6KU Suppressor is a good barrel attachment if you want to stay off enemy radar. If you need more horizontal recoil control, the Tactical Compensator should be the next attachment you pick up on the list.

Swapping out the regular rounds on the default grenade launcher attachment of the rifle with 40mm Incendiary rounds allows the player to essentially whip it out in emergencies in exchange for near-instant kills.

Best Attachments for Long Range

The TV 2X will be the best long-range scope for the SFAR-M GL. Not only does it give a clear reticle, but it also adds the least amount of recoil. The High-Power/Drum will be the best long-range ammo type for the SFAR-M GL because of its fast TTK at 50m+.

Best Specialist for SFAR-M GL

The SFAR-M GL is a decent upgrade from the M5A3 and a definite improvement over the default AK-24. Specialists that can make use of its automatic fire without losing control, those that can move from position to position, and those that generally have one job will find themselves at home with the rifle and its default grenade launcher attachment.

Specialist	Strengths
Mackay	Allows players to gain tacitcal advantages over enemies by using his Grappling Hook Specialty to move from either cover to cover quickly or to the top of vertical platforms. From a distance of close to mid-range, Mackay's Nimble Trait also allows players to move relatively quickly while aiming with the weapon and firing.
Sundance	Sundance can rain down effective fire while falling from the sky before pulling out her wingsuit, particularly with the SFAR-M GL's long-range attachments. Players can opt to swap out Proximity Sensors for Smoke Grenades in case they need to make a quick exit, preferrably off of a raised platform.
Falck	The SFAR-M GL is one of several weapons perfect for Falck and her general playstyle of being a squad's full-time Medic. The weapon is more than serviceable enough to provide her and an ailing friendly with enough offensive firepower to offset any enemy assault, at which time Falck can be free to make use of her medical skills.
