The Assault Rifle is a 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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The Assault Rifle has a good effective range.
Decent ammo capacity (28), being able to upgrade it to 50% more ammo (42).
Great accuracy.
Very cheap.

Cons

The Assault Rifle's rate of fire is slightly slower than the rate of fire of any other automatic weapon.

Not useful once you get something better (eg. Scoped Assault Rifle).

The Damage-Dealing Duo

Both Vicenzo Caesar and Raptor Blaze wield the Assault Rifle, but equip different armors to aid them in their attacks. While Vicenzo prefers to have a well-rounded suit, Raptor prefers to wear accuracy-enhancing armor to increase his chances of hitting his target.
