Part 12

Detailed guide for Part 12 of Battlefield Hardline, covering the SG553, AKS74u, and G36C carbines, including stats, unlock requirements, and patch notes.

Walkthrough:

1. ACWR Trivia: The ACWR in Battlefield Hardline is based on the real-life ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle). It's an updated version of Magpul's Masada design. The ACWR model features a fixed stock, but adjustable folding stock versions exist. The ACR was designed to be adaptable for different roles and calibers, with barrel swaps for close-quarters or marksman roles, and potential conversions to calibers like .300 Blackout or 6.8mm SPC. Similar weapons have appeared in other games like BF3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
2. SG553:
   • Stats: Ammo: 5.56x45mm, Capacity: 30+1, Fire-rate: 700 RPM, Reload: 2.15 secs.
   • Unlocks: $21,600 (cops) / 1,250 kills + buy license (criminals).
   • Summary: Features very low recoil, a slow fire-rate, and high minimum damage, making it effective for controlled fire at medium ranges. It has good hipfire accuracy and decent reload times, though it may struggle in close quarters. Comes equipped with the SRS02 sight.
   • Patch Notes: In the Criminal Activity update (June 16), the minimum damage was buffed from 15 to 18.
   • Trivia: Derived from the SIG SG550, the SG553 is an upgraded, more reliable version of the SG552 commando carbine. It appears in other games like BF3, BF4, and Far Cry 3 & 4 (labeled as STG90).
3. AKS74u:
   • Stats: Ammo: 5.45x39mm, Capacity: 30+1, Fire-rate: 735 RPM, Reload: 2.48 secs.
   • Unlocks: $21,000 (criminals) / 1,250 kills + buy license (cops).
   • Summary: Has higher max damage but a short damage drop-off, retaining its four-hit kill only up to 16 meters, falling to an eight-hit kill at 32+ meters. Features minimal horizontal recoil, a low recoil multiplier, and a small spread increase (SIPS), aiding longer-range use, but has slower reloads.
   • Patch Notes: The left recoil in prone stance was slightly reduced in the April 28 patch but reverted in the Criminal Activity update (June 16).
   • Trivia: Based on the AKS74 paratrooper variant, the AKS74u is a shortened carbine (8.3" barrel, 19" overall length with folded stock). It was inspired by the Dragunov
