Strategy Guide

 * The Suppressed Assault Rifle has a high DPS and is good at breaking enemy structures fast.
 * The Suppressed Assault Rifle starts off as the most accurate rifle in the game but quickly falls off to being one of the least accurate guns after 7 shots. Due to this, it is usually advised to fire in short bursts of four to five shots to ensure its initial accuracy is used well.
 * When crafting a Suppressed Assault Rifle, the rule of thumb is that it has the same DPS as an Assault Rifle two rarities under it. For example, when crafting a Suppressed Assault Rifle, you are essentially creating a Suppressed  Assault Rifle. As such, it is important to decide whether having a Suppressor is more important than dealing extra damage.
