Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
|---|---|
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Suppressed Assault Rifle is good for short and long-range combat, excelling at medium-range.
- 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.
- Crouching with this gun resets its first shot accuracy faster, allowing for more accurate shots. Crouching also reduces its hipfire spread and spread in general.
- The Suppressed Assault Rifle has a moderately high DPS and excels at breaking enemy structures fast.
- This weapon is most effective at medium range (e.g. 1-2 tiles away from the player/entity) due to its accuracy and decent rate of fire. It can also be used at long range, however, this is less effective because of bloom. A weapon such as a Scoped Assault Rifle or Red-Eye Assault Rifle would be better for long-range usage.
- Close-range usage is sometimes useful to quickly deal damage to players/entities and catch them off-guard, but a Submachine Gun will be more useful for these kinds of engagements.
- It is unwise to challenge players wielding Sniper Rifles, as they can instantly eliminate the player with a single well-placed shot while attempting to whittle away at their health one shot at a time. Instead, close the gap between the enemy by placing some structures to get within a range where sniping isn't nearly as practical.
- When choosing between a Suppressed Assault Rifle and an Assault Rifle, it's good to note that the Suppressed Assault Rifle has the same DPS as the standard Assault Rifle two rarities under it.
- For example, when picking a Rare Suppressed Assault Rifle, you are essentially choosing a Suppressed Common Assault Rifle. As such, it is important to decide whether having a Suppressor is more important than dealing extra damage.
