Assault Rifles

#1

So I use deadly specialisation and been experimenting with Yautjas bane on top of that but I’m wondering what assault rifle to go with, have them all unlocked and max level
I’ve been going with GOSLR cause high damage and its been working well, before that hammerhead cause it was a great all-rounder + Grenade launcher

But I haven’t used the others in donkeys years what is the pros/cons of them or your favourites?

Last assault rifle I leveled up was Plasma rifle prototype I enjoyed it melts ai and can do a bit of damage to predator but as my bud says its a bubble gun

#3

I like the mercenary 87 the best

That’s my favourite design wise and having to rely on sights, but the range grinds my gears currently have it designated to Arnie for clash 😔

Any assault rifle will do with assault+deadly+bane

Even the qr4 is effective because of its low recoil

QR4 and Hammerhead = lowest recoil. Paired with weapons training, hipfire accuracy and suppressor, you don’t even have to aim and will nail most shots. Airgun recoil. You can easily shoot 10 bullets on a leaping pred if you follow the arc.

G-ROW - Fast firing rate best reserved for close encounters

GOSL-R - Best range, highest damage. Great for shooting preds out of branches

AR-W - Slow reload. Best damage up close.

Mercenary - Nostalgia. No attachments. No reason to use it over the hammerhead unless you really dig the sound and looks.

Non-bullet rifles are good for AI, shit for pred.

I honestly have a hot take with the Hammerhead. I don’t see the point of running it now that Merc is a thing. More damage for similar stats.

Hammerhead all day. Good at range and up close and with extended mag, red dot and grenades you’ve got a versatile weapon for all occasions 😁

Idk, I’ve been using other Assault Rifles and now the HH feels like a peashooter to me. It can’t even deal with heavier A.I as well as Merc could.

Pammy the Hammy.

She’s the one.

Yeah it may not be the strongest.

But it is a jack of all trades, whatever the situation you’ve got a good chance to hurt the Pred significantly!

For me it’s mercenary all the way but I sometimes also use the plasma rifle prototype every now and then because I love killing the AI with it

#14

Extended mag, red dot

You trade a lil damage reduction for more continuous shooting.

In the end, IMO, better as you end up doing more damage because of accuracy and continuous shooting without a reload pause

Hammerhead has been my go to on and off since it dropped, basically just been using that and LMG but then I realised LMG is only really good as support and doesn’t offer so much damage
I’ve been enjoying the GOSLR but haven’t tried it in clash yet wonder if it’s low firerate is a detriment towards squishy humans 😕

#16

Definitely I call it the all rounder, plus nade launcher 😍
I’ll probably rely on it in a competent team, solo with potato’s though GOSLR does well

Hammerhead is the best option.
The most balanced between damage/range/recoil. And the grenade launcher is the cherry
And Mercenary87 is my 2nd choice when i feel like running old school style while dealing great damage too.

I wish they would add more assault rifles

In a game all about guns the selection is rather meager

#19

I’ve been dealing a lot of damage with the LMG with Assault+Bane+Reckless (20% damage boost, 30% when the pred hits you). Accuracy is quite good if you do short bursts instead of leaving the fire button depressed.

I like hiding in bushes all mudded, using my team for bait then jumping out with the mercenary and just deleting that bitch. SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKER
