Assault Class
New AR icon

Assault Rifles are ranged weapons that come in Burst-fire, Semi-auto, Automatic, Scoped, Suppressed, and Heavy variants. All Assault Rifles (apart from the Tactical Assault Rifle and Minigun) use Medium Bullets as ammunition and are extremely effective at medium and sometimes long range. All (apart from the Tactical AR, Infantry Rifle, Scoped AR and Thermal Scoped AR) have a 1.5 headshot multiplier.
