Assault Rifles
The TR’s default assault rifle, the T1 Cycler, is a solid all-around weapon with good accuracy and damage output. However, there are several other assault rifles that can be better in certain situations:
- The TAR is a close-range beast with high rate of fire and controllable recoil. I prefer using it in indoor fights or when flanking enemies.
- The TRAC-5 is a versatile assault rifle with good accuracy and fast reload times. It’s my go-to weapon for mid-range engagements.
- The SABR-13 is a semi-automatic rifle that can deal high damage per shot at long ranges. It requires good aim and patience, but can be devastating in the right hands.
LMGs
TR’s LMGs are known for their high magazine sizes and fast reload times, but can be difficult to control due to their high recoil. Here are my top picks:
- The CARV is the default LMG and a reliable choice for any situation. Its high rate of fire and large magazine size make it a good choice for suppressing fire or holding chokepoints.
- The MSW-R is a close-range LMG with high rate of fire and manageable recoil. It’s great for assaulting enemy positions or defending against flanking attacks.
- The Bull is a heavy-hitting LMG with slow rate of fire and high damage per shot. It requires good positioning and teamwork to use effectively, but can be devastating against enemy vehicles and MAX units.
Carbines
TR’s carbines are similar to their assault rifles in terms of accuracy and recoil, but have smaller magazine sizes and faster reload times. Here are my favorite picks:
- The Jaguar is a versatile carbine with good accuracy and fast reload times. It’s my go-to weapon for close to mid-range engagements.
- The Lynx is a close-range beast with high rate of fire and controllable recoil. It’s great for indoor fights or flanking maneuvers.
- The T5 AMC is a long-range carbine with good accuracy and low recoil. It requires good aim and patience, but can be deadly at longer ranges.
