List of Contents
Best Assault Rifles
- MCW: Best All-Around Assault Rifle with Exceptional Default Base Stats
- RAM-7: Fastest Rate-of-Fire among Assault Rifles
- DG-56: Best Accuracy and Time-to-Kill in the Assault Rifle category.
MCW
The MCW is the most well-rounded Assault Rifle as its default stats for damage output, accuracy, range, and rate-of-fire are all already above average even without any attachments kitted on it.
RAM-7
Introduced in Season 1, the RAM-7 is a formidable weapon when used upclose and personal as it has the fastest rate-of-fire out of all the Assault Rifles, and you can definitely melt your opponents in just mere seconds upon encountering them.
DG-56
The DG-56 probably has the best accuracy among the Assault Rifles due to its 3-Round Burst Fire mode. Time-to-Kill is also quick since you can take out opponents with a single burst to the head or two bursts to the upper body area.

How to Use Assault Rifles
Versatile at Any Given Range
Assault Rifles are highly flexible weapons to use from all distances. They have an easy-to-control recoil at long range, pin-point accuracy at mid-range, and an extremely fast firing rate at close range.
Effective When Used with Stalker Boots
Stalker Boots provide quicker ADS (Aim Down Sight) speed to Assault Rifles, making them even deadlier as these guns have a very easy recoil pattern and longer range when firing it while using the iron sight.
To equip the Stalker Boots, go to your Loadout menu and select it under the Boots category.
