Strategy Guide[]

	This section outlines a strategy.
	Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.

Usage[]

• The Assault Rifle is arguably the best all-around weapon in the game, being good at short and long-range combat, and excelling at medium-range. It should be the player's go-to weapon if the player is in a position to swap another weapon out.
• Along longer sight lines, firing in bursts or "tap-firing" single shots can improve overall effectiveness with the Assault Rifle.
• Crouching with this gun resets its first shot accuracy faster, allowing for more accurate shots. Crouching also reduces its hipfire spread and spread in general.
• The Assault Rifle has a high DPS and excels at breaking enemy structures fast.
• This weapon is most effective at medium range (e.g. 1-2 tiles away from the player/entity) due to its accuracy and decent rate of fire. It can also be used at long range, however, this is less effective because of bloom. A weapon such as a Scoped Assault Rifle or Red-Eye Assault Rifle would be better for long-range usage.
  • Close-range usage is sometimes useful to quickly deal damage to players/entities and catch them off-guard, but a Submachine Gun will be more useful for these kinds of engagements.
• It is unwise to challenge players wielding Sniper Rifles, as they can instantly eliminate the player with a single well-placed shot while attempting to whittle away at their health one shot at a time. Instead, close the gap between the enemy by placing some structures to get within a range where sniping isn't nearly as practical.
• Since the Assault Rifle is a hitscan weapon, it is very easy to use since its shots instantly connect with their target rather than having travel time. This makes it especially effective at very long ranges against weapons like the Striker AR or DMR, although these ranges are not ideal.
• One major benefit the Assault Rifle has is it's higher than average headshot multiplier compared to other weapons in the AR class, being 1.75x instead of the average 1.5x. This means that in Legendary rarity, the Assault Rifle can kill an opponent, theoretically, in 4 shots in any playlist, dealing 252 damage.

Counters[]

• This weapon is good at destroying tiles, so Wood is not a preferred building material for countering an Assault Rifle. Instead, players should use Metal or Stone as a way of blocking an Assault Rifle, as it is harder to destroy these materials.
• A good strategy for countering an Assault Rifle is to move far away from the opponent, especially if you have a Sniper Rifle equipped. Because of the Assault Rifle's bloom, it will make the opponents' shots less accurate.
• One small, but notable downside to the Assault Rifle, is it's lower magazine size, of 25. On it's own, it's not bad, but for it's fire rate, makes it empty it's mag very fast. Taking a rifle that has a larger magazine or can fire for longer can be beneficial.

Weapon ID[]

The Assault Rifle is referred to as Assault Auto High in the files.
