Strategy[]
- The Red-Eye Assault Rifle is a slow firing but heavy hitting Assault Weapon like the Heavy Assault Rifle and Ranger Assault Rifle. So it is preferable to use at medium range but is also effective at long range as it has a red dot sight.
- Due to it being an Assault Rifle, it benefits from the First Assault augment. This gives it more damage on the first shot and allows it to function as a pseudo-DMR due to its high accuracy.
- Despite its high damage, the fire rate of the Red-Eye Assault Rifle makes it generally unsuited to destroying structures.
