Its low recoil and scope make it very suitable for longer range engagements.

Trivia[]

Tactical Assault Rifle resembles the JW3 TTI MPX, a modified Sig Sauer MPX by Taran Tactical made specifically for John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum.^[1]
- The Update v9.01 refers to the Tactical Assault Rifle as robust and precise, referencing the requirements John Wick himself requests for his rifle in John Wick: Chapter 2. Despite the rifle handed to him being a different one.
Tactical Assault Rifle was added alongside the Wick's Bounty LTM in Update v9.01, in which it is used as part of the player's default loadout alongside the Combat Shotgun (with both weapons also being used by John Wick in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum).
Unlike other Collaboration Items, the Tactical Assault Rifle constantly returns, and is even available in Creative's inventory similar to Borderlands 3 and Rocket League's props.
Sometime within Chapter 4: Season 2 new files for a reworked version of the Tactical Assault Rifle in Rare to Legendary were found. Featuring a notably slower fire rate at 3.95, smaller magazine size at 25, and slightly higher damage. The purpose of this weapon is unknown.
- This version could have been a potential test for the Modular Enforcer AR, as upon its release, it had a fire rate of 3.95 and a mag size of 25.
- Sometime after Chapter 4: Season OG, this reworked version got updated stats. Having an even slower fire rate of 2.4, a bigger magazine size of 1 Million and even lower damage (30/32/33). Its purpose is still unknown.
