Assault Rifles provide a balance of range, damage, and rate of fire, making them highly versatile. The M4 and Ruger are the primary assault rifles. The M4 is a powerful and accurate weapon, excellent for sustained firefights. The Ruger, while similar, has a slightly different feel. These weapons are ideal for engaging multiple targets at various ranges.
Assault rifles are often found later in the game or purchased from Ammu-Nation. They are essential for many of the more challenging missions, especially those involving large groups of armed enemies. Always aim for headshots to maximize their effectiveness and conserve ammo.
