Strategy Guide[]
- Carrying a Scoped Assault Rifle and an LMG, SMG, or a pistol with a high fire-rate can be a good strategy, as the Scoped Assault Rifle can be used for long-range while the other weapon can be used for medium-range engagements or as a follow-up to a shotgun.
- Despite its ability to fight at medium and long range, the Scoped Assault Rifle is often a worse weapon to use compared to most other Assault Rifles due to its low single-shot damage and DPS. As such, carrying a marksman rifle or sniper rifle is often a better idea.
- The Scoped Assault Rifle's magazine size of 15 for low level or 20 for high level means that every shot counts. It's best to tap-fire or fire in short bursts to regularly reset recoil.
- Its low DPS makes it unsuitable for destroying buildings at anything below very long ranges.
- It is generally not advisable to use the gun without aiming down sights, as it is extremely inaccurate if fired without aiming.
- Make sure to regularly reload, as the low capacity of the Scoped Assault Rifle is very unforgiving.
