Best Assault Rifle?

[Amorphous]

Which AR is the best? (not including dlc or purchased weapons, vanilla only)

[Wayz]

M4A1, AUG & ACR are among the best all rounders and MK17 is probably the hardest hitting but IMO There are no bad rifles and the weapons stats are largely arbitrary and are not reliable measurements on actual performance to a large degree.

Just play around with whatever appeals to you, mostly you will get posts with players advocating their own personal favs with a post like this.

There's no such thing as "best weapon"
because "best" is a relative term

"Truth is just a matter of perspective" ~ Price, MW3

just pick what gun u feel give u the best performance

but i believe there's weapon pick rate, from most (people's fav) till worst (almost never picked)
but if u ask me, i'll pick MK17
so uhm, have fun experimenting?

edit:
candidates to try (from highest picked)
ACR
MDR
TAR-21
MK17
416

here's 5 that my taskforce most using (rifle), from most till less, data from 70 users

that highly depends on the definition of "best".
for me, for example, "best" rifle - is the one that allow me to hit targets from far away reliably, while also allowing me to mount GL vs vehicles and killing heavies in a few shots.
AUG and 556xi are among the most accurate rifles that fulfill this criteria,

on the other hand i've stent all year 2 mostly with sc4000. just for it's looks(which is a major factor when deciding what weapon i'll take)

One the reasons I love the HK416 and Mk18 they just ooze style and look so damn good.

Damn shame about that M110... you really screw yourself over royally if you decide to use it because you like the looks.

It's an stone-age-old stupid question that doesn't make any sense in any half-decent balanced game. Wildlands are an example of such a game - it all comes down to the user.

Some of the guns I'd suggest:
- P416 (starting gun, it has minimal bulletdrop, small and easy to control recoil and great rof)
- G36C (best earlygame gun, very solid later; get it cheap on Ubisoft Club Rewards)
- SIG556xi (hands down one of the best AR's in the game: very stable and very high damage)
- R5 RGP & CZ 805 BREN (both are great high-tier AR's, both suitable for different tasks)
- SR3M (very handy and versatile short assault rifle with great RoF and damage output overall)
- Mk17 (disputable balance from what I've read, but very satisfying to use)

Mk14 is probably the best DMR, but you said AR's, so...

In general, for close combat I use:
- G36C (with M203, as it was \ is still one of the most used guns by me)
- SR3M

For more brutal and loud firefights:
- SIG556xi
- R5 RGP
- Mk17

At least sometimes most of these are home to an underbarrel grenade-launcher.

And as great all-rounders:
- G36C (with standard UGL)
- R5 RGP (with M203)
- P416 (upgraded on Tier Mode)

TAR-21 is a beast, especially in tier mode (with boosted damage): it has low base damage but high rate of fire + decent precision and stability. Perfect for killing multiple targets at once.

Also it looks cool unlike the rest of the guns with their design from 50s/60s.

M4A1 with a 203 launcher

[Amorphous]

i was just wanting opinions on the best so i can test em out. thats all thanks

[LPM]

tar21 is my favourite one. also good pen

but got m16 from crate and using it for fun, looks cool

also nice stats

[Slynx Jewel]

base m16 kicks a bit too much until you mod it.

I'm saying the devs took a LMG in the game and reskinned it to make the FAL...
