Application[]

The assault rifle is arguably the most powerful weapon in game, being highly effective from medium range firefights to close quarter combats; combining with its high rate of fire, it can eliminate even the heaviest armoured targets like soldiers in the hand of most survivors if being properly used. It is also the most powerful weapon you can ever have for home defense, being capable enough to keep your home safe throughout the entire outbreak of crime. The only downside is that it fires in bursts of three rounds, eating through a staggering amount of ammunition in both scavenging firefights and home defenses. It is widely available in the game, wielded by many armed combatants and present in most high risk maps (e.g. Military Outpost). Should the player be able to kill combatants and/or clear such maps, they will be having surpluses and can choose to use this weapon in trade due to its highest value among all items. The easiest one to acquire should be the one wielded by the supermarket soldier, who can be simply neutralised by opening the door quietly and a backstab with any melee weapons above crowbar. A shovel is recommended as there is a single rubble in the map anyways.

Trivia[]

  • The original icon of assault rifle and its in-game appearances makes it appear to be the symbolic Kalashnikov series rifle, which is the most popular firearm ever outside of Western countries. It is also in line with the historical background of this game, as both Yugoslavia, the background nation of this game, and Poland, the homeland of the devs, are Slavic countries that adopted Kalashnikov rifles as their standards. To an extreme peculiarity, its icon was replaced in patch 1.4 update by a silhouette of the entirely historically inaccurate Thompson submachine gun, which has never been popular in Slavic countries and was already mostly obsolete during the Vietnam War; moreover, it would also be technically wrong as neither it is an assault rifle.
  • In the code, Assault Rifle is referenced as "Machinegun", and Broken Assault Rifle is referred to as "Machinegun_broken".
