Strategy Guide[]

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

• When using an Infantry Rifle, it is best to get accurate shots on the enemy by standing still for a second before firing each shot. This makes the best use of the Infantry Rifle because it can deal heavy damage to players this way.
• When in close proximity, this isn't the best weapon to use. The hip-fire accuracy is poor, its fire rate is sluggish, and it's semi-auto. Consider using an SMG or shotgun at close range instead.
• When picking between an Infantry Rifle and other assault rifles, note the Infantry Rifle's strength of high medium-to-long-range accuracy and moderate damage, and its weaknesses of low capacity, poor structure DPS, and poor hip-fire accuracy.

Counters[]

• A good method of countering an Infantry Rifle is to continuously build a wall or floor in the direction of the shots until the enemy has to stop to reload their rifle. This is the best time to start to return fire at the enemy since if they're boxed up, they would have to cancel reloading to avoid damage.
• Another would be to use a scoped weapon, as despite the Infantry Rifle's high accuracy, it still has spread. By default, a red dot weapon can outperform it at range.
• When dealing with an opponent that has an Infantry Rifle, try to move between as much cover as possible and close the gap, as its poor close range performance can hinder it.
