Prepare to gain valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of each weapon, aiding you in making informed choices when it comes to your arsenal selection.

S-Tier

  • FFAR 1
  • AS VAL
  • M13
  • Kilo 141
  • Krig 6
  • MK2 Peacekeeper

As Season 9 commenced, we initially placed the Krig 6 in the A-tier. However, extensive hands-on experience with this new assault rifle has revealed its true prowess, solidifying its place among the best. With exceptional accuracy, minimal recoil, and impressive damage per shot, the Krig 6 emerges as an absolute beast, excelling in engagements across short, medium, and long-range encounters. Our admiration for this weapon knows no bounds.

Retaining their well-deserved positions in the S-tier are the M13 and Kilo 141, showcasing their unwavering dominance in the realm of assault rifles.

For quite some time, these two firearms have reigned supreme in the assault rifle category, and rightfully so. They offer substantial damage output, minimal recoil, and, importantly, a wide range of attachments that enhance their adaptability.

Choosing between these two exceptional weapons largely depends on your preferred playstyle. If maintaining some distance in engagements suits you, the Kilo 141 is an excellent choice.

On the other hand, the M13 stands out for its exceptional user-friendliness. With virtually no recoil, this assault rifle caters to those who don't concern themselves with the concept of “recoil pattern.”

Returning to the prestigious S-tier is the MK2 Peacekeeper, benefiting from improved damage range, specifically in close-to-medium range encounters. Brace yourself for the renewed dominance of this versatile assault rifle.

A-Tier

  • AK-47
  • Maddox
  • CR-56 AMAX
  • HVK 30
  • AK117
  • DR-H
  • Type 25
  • Oden

Joining the ranks of the A-tier, the AK-47 has swiftly established itself as a formidable assault rifle. With notable enhancements to its recoil control and sprint-to-fire speed in the Season 10 weapon balance adjustments, this firearm has further solidified its standing as a formidable choice in battle. Prepare to wield the AK-47 with confidence and experience its newfound greatness on the battlefield.

Maintaining its well-deserved position in the A-tier is the CR-56 AMAX, benefitting from a reduction in ADS spread, resulting in enhanced accuracy and solidifying its status as a commendable assault rifle.

Receiving a buff in preparation for Season 1, the AS VAL awaits judgment to ascertain whether it can ascend to the coveted S-tier. As of now, we remain cautiously reserved and retain its current placement in the A-tier.

Within the A-tier, numerous other options showcase their prowess, narrowly missing out on the top spot due to minor shortcomings. Nonetheless, with the right attachments, these rifles possess the potential to deliver remarkable performance at elevated levels. Explore the possibilities and harness their power to dominate the battlefield.

B-Tier

  • ASM10
  • LK24
  • ICR-1
  • Man-O-War
  • KN-44
  • Swordfish
  • HBRa3

Within the assortment of weapons lies a group of firearms that fall into the middle-of-the-pack category. This category has expanded as the developers aimed to create a more balanced and diverse selection of viable choices for players.

Notably, a couple of weapons received buffs in preparation for Season 9, namely the ICR-1 and LK24.

The ICR-1 witnessed significant increases in its damage range, chest multiplier, and headshot multiplier. This firearm boasts a dedicated fan base, and when equipped with the appropriate attachments, it becomes an excellent choice, offering great performance on the battlefield.

While it remains uncertain whether these enhancements propel it into the A- or even S-tier, there is no denying the immense potential it now possesses.

Among the notable weapons in this category are the KN-44 and Man-O-War, each deserving special recognition for their distinctive qualities and capabilities.

C-Tier

  • M4
  • BK57
  • FR .556
  • EM2

Ahead of Season 9, the FR .556 received a mobility buff, enhancing its agility. However, it appears that these adjustments might not be adequate to transform it into a truly formidable weapon. As a result, it currently maintains its placement in the C-tier until further updates warrant a reassessment.

Despite its enduring popularity, the M4 has yet to establish itself as a prominent force within the meta.

The BK57, boasting commendable damage and a rapid fire rate, could potentially warrant a higher position. However, due to the presence of rival firearms, it is somewhat hindered, preventing it from ascending further in the tier list.

Taking its position in the C-tier is the latest addition to the game's arsenal, the EM2 assault rifle. As a full-auto bullpup, it falls slightly short in terms of fire rate when compared to the top contenders in its class. Consequently, the pursuit to unlock this weapon will primarily appeal to collectors, as its performance may not match the standards set by the elite firearms.

D-Tier

  • M16

Despite receiving a much-needed buff in Season 9 and a new signature attachment in Season 10 that alters its firing mode from burst to full-auto, the M16, considered the weakest assault rifle in the game, still languishes in the D-tier. While the attachment significantly enhances its performance, it falls short of elevating it out of its lowly ranking. Additionally, the M16 has unfortunately not received any further buffs with the Season 5 update, reinforcing the recommendation to steer clear of this particular firearm.

This was our ranking for all Assault Rifles. We hope that this article was helpful for you!
