How to Use Battle Rifles

Use at Medium to Long Range Fights

Battle Rifles are particularly useful only in medium to long range engagements due to their excellent accuracy and range. It's not advisable to use them at close-quarters combat due to the time it takes to aim down the sights with this type of gun, and most likely you'll be forced to fire from the hip if you run into an enemy upclose.
