Strategy Guide[]

This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Ranger Assault Rifle is most effective for medium to long range with its slow, yet reliable fire rate, accuracy, and respectable damage.
  • While closer to your target the Ranger Assault Rifle can still be effective, its more helpful to bring an SMG when a situation like such may occur.
  • At longer ranges, try to tap fire the Ranger Assault Rifle to control the spread of the weapon. Crouching further increases the accuracy.
