What are Assault Rifles?

Ranged Weapons with Fast Attacks

Assault Rifles

Assault Rifles are ranged weapons that rapidly fire projectiles at the target. Although the damage per projectile is argubly low compared to other weapons, the Assault Rifle makes up for this in the number of projectiles fired per attack.

Great as Starter Weapons

Assault Rifles are great weapons at the start of the story. They are reliable and deal decent damage against the enemies encountered early on in the game.

Morever, players do start out with an Assault Rifle when they begin a new game.

Standard Ranged Weapons of Certain Classes

Assault Rifles are the standard ranged weapons of the Drifter, Striker, Samurai Gunner, and Duelist classes. Players can't change their weapon type once they've selected their class. The only way to do so is by changing classes.
