Assault Rifle

The Assault Rifle is an automatic cash weapon in the Respawnables. It is the second weapon available for purchase, as it is unlocked at level 2 and costs 500 cash. It deals consistent, decent damage and allows you to move quite fast with the moderate agility it boasts. It has good range and accuracy and has a clip size of 28 bullets which can be upgraded to 42 bullets.

Strategy
The Assault Rifle is good for beginners that want to unlock a weapon, being the cheapest weapon in the game with the exception of the Rookie Machine Gun  which is given to you for free. Although the Assault Rifle has a really slow fire rate, it compensates for this by dealing more damage per second than the Rookie Machine Gun, as well as providing better range and accuracy.

When using this weapon, take its range and accuracy into account to take out enemies from a good distance away. Do not fear about missing, as this weapon's accuracy will ensure your bullets reach its set destination.

It is a reliable weapon which is able to deal consistent damage in mid-range combat, but its sluggish rate of fire can be easily avoided or even resisted if your opponent has damage resistant armour or powerful weapons. Nonetheless, it is a classic weapon that is capable of wiping out normal bots, big or small.
