AR Class Notes

13 of the 27 ARs have identical base StF. "Standard" StF stands in for the normal "Below Average" rank.
11 ARs have identical base Hipfire Spread. "Standard" Hip Spread stands in for the normal "Below Average" rank.
10 ARs have nigh-identical Swap Speeds. "Standard" Swap Speed stands in for the normal "Above Average" rank.
Tac Stance Floor, Hipfire Floor, and Run Speed Cap averages are disproportionately pulled down by the MWII ARs, such that "Average" for those stats is worse than most if not all of the Non-AM MWIII guns. For extra rank context, those stats on MWIII ARs will sometimes include an additional ranking comparing them to just the average of MWIII ARs.
The standard amount of attachments for an AR to hit a Speed Cap (typically either Aim + Run together, or both Sprints together) is 4. Handling & CQC Floors typically need all 5 slots.

Attachment Information

Pros: Has an Integrally Suppressed Barrel with better Range, ADS, and Run Speed for only slightly worse StF & Recoil.
YMMV: Run Speed is faster than Sprint Speed if you build the weapon toward its Run Cap.
Cons: No Canted Ironsight Scope.

Notes

*For partial reloads. Empty reloads are Below Average.
Best-In-Class Velocity has a hitscan distance of nearly 50m, and stretches 11.2m past the gun's first +1.

Attachment Information

Pros: Integrally Suppressed Barrel option with minimal penalties and a Velocity bonus. Extended Magazine doesn't penalize Mobility or Reload Speed. CQC Floor in 4 attachments.
YMMV: Run Speed equals Sprint Speed if you build the weapon toward its Run Cap.
Cons: No UBWs. No Round Nose/Mono/Incendiary Ammo. No Non-Grip Bipods. No Canted Iron Scope, Canted Reflex Scope, or Canted Hybrid. Split Aim and Run Speed Caps.

Notes

Rate Of Fire raises on 5+ shots. This increase is maintained between trigger pulls if they're close enough together.
*Nearing Worst for the first 4 shots of a trigger pull, then Nearing Best
**Below Average for the first 4 shots of a trigger pull, then Second-Best
No Semi-Auto Firemode
Second-Best Velocity has a 40m hitscan distance.
**AM Kit's entry can be found in the Burst-Fire class section.

Attachment Information

YMMV: Run Speed is faster than Sprint Speed if you build the weapon towards its Run Cap.
Cons: Speed Cap needs 5 attachments.

Attachment Information

Pros: Integrally Suppressed +Range Barrel for just a modest ADS/StF cost. Glow Irons.
YMMV: Run Speed is faster than Sprint Speed if you build the weapon towards its Run Cap.
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo. No Scarlet/Sapphire/Verdant Lasers.

Notes

Possibly Best-in-Game CQC Spreads, pending my checking the other classes.

Attachment Information

Pros: Unique extra grenade launcher? (Preliminary testing indicates it's a -smaller- explosion than the regular one tho)
YMMV: Run Speed is faster than Sprint Speed if you build the weapon towards its Run Cap.
Cons: Split Hipfire & Tac Stance Spreads.

Notes

*For partial reloads. Empty reloads are Second-Worst.
Best-in-Class Velocity-to-Range ratio, the hitscan range extends beyond all range breakpoints.
**AM Kit's entry can be found in the SMGs class section.

Attachment Information

Pros: Integrally Suppressed Barrel also boosts Handling & Mobility, with penalized range still being Average.
YMMV: Run Speed equals Sprint Speed if you build the weapon towards its Run Cap.
Cons: No Round Nose/Mono/Incendiary Ammo.

Notes

First shot of a trigger pull fires 2 bullets almost at once in a "hyperburst". Semi-Auto fires a hyperburst every trigger pull.
*Second-Best if the hyperburst hits, Second-Worst if it misses.
**The two-round hyperburst makes headshot requirements at range incredibly difficult to test for. Take the headshot data and whether the +1s are "chest-down" or "full" with a grain of salt.

Attachment Information

YMMV: Unique reflex optic replaces the NRG-IV. Run Speed equals Sprint Speed if you build the weapon towards its Run Cap.
Cons: Handling Floors have a more prominent split than most ARs. Aim Speed Cap needs 5 attachments.

Notes

Signal Kit's entry can be found in the Burst Fire class section.

Attachment Information

Pros: Unsplit Speed Caps. Hits Non-Aim Speed Caps in 2 attach slots (including the AM kit itself), Hip Floor or Aim Speed in 3, Tac Floor in 4.
YMMV: Unique Reflex replaces the NRG-IV
Cons: No Barrel, Magazine, Muzzle, or Underbarrel Slots.

Notes

Fires 2 bullets per shot. Shots land spaced slightly left/right of the sight dot in ADS, on the inner edges of the left/right reticle lines in Hipfire, and slightly up-left of the bottom & down-right of the top reticle lines in Tac Stance. The spacing becomes more prominent at longer ranges.
*Beyond Best if both bullets hit with each shot, Beyond Worst if only one bullet hits with each shot.
**Technically Better: 3 Leg hits w/o a chest hit or 4 leg hits, but since the gun is a "3-shot-kill" from 5 bullets this doesn't actually affect the TTK unless one or more bullets also miss.
***Doesn't affect TTK so long as both bullets hit with each shot.
****100 bullets, albeit only 50 shots when numerous ARs can hold 60.
No Semi-Auto Firemode

Attachment Information

Pros: Integrally Suppressed Barrel that also boosts Mobility & Handling, albeit at a large Range cost.
YMMV: Run Speed is faster than Sprint Speed if you build the weapon towards its Run Cap.

Attachment Information

Pros: Integrally Suppressed Barrel that also boosts Mobility & Handling, albeit at a large Range cost.
YMMV: Run Speed equals Sprint Speed if you build the weapon towards its Run Cap.
Cons: No High Velocity or Incendiary Ammos. Needs all 5 slots to hit a Speed Cap.

Notes

Kills don't leave Skull icons.
Nearing Worst Velocity, though hitscan range still goes past the first +1.

Attachment Information

Cons: No Barrel Slot. No Riser Optics or Canted Iron Scope. No Incendiary Ammo. No Aftermarket UBWs.

Notes

Optics are all misaligned; shots land slightly below your aim dot. A laser can be used to show your true point-of-aim.
No Semi-Auto Firemode
*Above Average, **Second-Best, ***Nearing Best, and ****Average respectively, if you can bear using a 15-round Magazine.
Base weapon's entry can be found in the Burst-Fire class section.

Attachment Information

Pros: Unsplit Speed Caps, reaches them in 3 attachments (including the AM Kit).
Cons: No Barrel, Underbarrel, or Laser Slots. 4 less Hybrid Optics, no Riser 2.5x. Split Hip/Tac Spreads. Handling Floors have a more prominent Split than most ARs.

Notes

Base weapon's entry can be found in the LMGs class section.

Attachment Information

Pros: Speed Cap in just 2 attachments.
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo, no AM UBWs.

Attachment Information

Pros: Speed Cap in 3 attachments.
YMMV: Run Speed is faster than Sprint Speed if you build the weapon towards its Run Cap.
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo, no AM UBWs, no Canted Iron Scope.

Notes

*Above Average Tac Sprint, Below Average Sprint.
AM Kit's entry can be found in the Battle Rifles class section.

Attachment Information

Pros: Unique extra ACOG Optic. Speed Cap in 3 attachments, CQC Floors in 4.
YMMV: Integrally Suppressed +Range/+Recoil Barrel, but it utterly tanks your ADS, Mobility, & CQC.
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo, No Handstops, no AM or Shotgun UBWs. Non-Grip Bipods require one of the Barrels that have a long extended rail.

Notes

AM Kit's entry can be found in the DMRs class section.

Attachment Information

YMMV: Uses Large Muzzles, so more Suppressor options but less Compensators/Flash Hiders.
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo, No Aftermarket UBWs, No Canted Iron Scope.

Notes

The Requiem AM Kit is moreso just a very powerful barrel attachment, rather than a full conversion that substantially changes a bunch of stats/mechanics and warrants its own entry. It gives the weapon Best-in-Game full-auto Recoil in exchange for marginally lowering the TTK (it's still Average) & RoF (to Worst-in-Class), as well as a modest Velocity penalty.

Attachment Information

Pros: Speed Cap in 3 attachments.
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo, No Aftermarket UBWs.

Attachment Information

YMMV:Uses Large Muzzles, so more Suppressor options but less Compensators/Flash Hiders.
Cons: Using the Muzzle slot requires changing the Barrel first. No Incendiary or High Velocity Ammo, No UBWs, 2 less Full Bipods.

Notes

Suppressed by default.
Kills don't leave skull icons.
Nearing Worst Velocity, drop & delay are pretty noticeable past ~50m. Third-Worst Velocity-Range ratio, hitscan ends before even the Save Loss breakpoint.

Attachment Information

YMMV: Integrally Suppressed Barrel than just has a moderate -Range penalty, but unless you really want to run it for its look it's strictly worse than the Shadowstrike & Echoline Suppressors.
Cons: No Aftermarket UBWs.

Notes

Second-Best Velocity-Range ratio, the hitscan distance extends past all range breakpoints.

Attachment Information

Cons: Only Base, Armor Piercing, & Frangible Ammo*. Only MWIII Silencers.* No Aftermarket UBWs.

Notes

Equipped via the Ammo slot rather than the Conversion Kit slot.
Kills don't leave skull icons.
Worst-in-Class Velocity, Second-Worst Velocity-Range ratio. Shot travel time & bullet drop are quite noticable at just 40-50m, and hitscan range ends before even the first range breakpoint.
*Other .300 BLK ammo types incorrectly use the 5.56 stat profile. Equipping the Integrally Suppressed Barrel or any MWII Suppressor (anything past the Colossus in the select list) also bugs the weapon back to the 5.56 stat profile.

Attachment Information

Pros: Glow Irons. Unique AFG (Massive 35% Horizontal Recoil boost for 50/20 Handling cost). Integrated Reflex Barrel also boosts ADS & CQC for a modest Range cost, and can still equip other Optics if you want.
YMMV: Integrated ACOG Barrel also boosts Range & Recoil, but tanks ADS by 95ms, substantially penalizes Aim Walk Speed, and has small penalties to other Mobility stats & CQC.
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo. No Aftermarket or Shotty UBWs. No Canted Iron Scope or Heinreichter Hybrid.

Notes

Second-Best Velocity-Range ratio, the hitscan distance extends 13m past the +1.

Attachment Information

Pros: Speed Cap in 2 attachments.
YMMV: No Level Aim Bipod, but has a unique bipod with the same stats.
Cons: No Aftermarket or Shotty UBWs. No Grip-Pods & no Cornerstone Bipod. No XRK Edge Handstop or FTAC SP-10 AFGs. No Canted Iron Scope, VX350 & Teplo-Op3 Thermals, or Riser Optics.

Notes

*When estimating for 30 rounds, these become Average and Below Average respectively. Proper measurements pending for when I'm gathering Recoil Pattern data.
**Nearing Best Sprint Cap but Beyond WorstTac Sprint Cap.
***Only AR with a sub-30 base capacity, but has the 60-round Above Average max capacity.

Attachment Information

Pros: Speed Cap in 3 attachments.
Cons: No High Velocity or Incendiary Ammo. No Aftermarket UBWs. Needs one of the +Range Barrels equipped to use UBWs & Pure Bipods.

Notes

Kills don't leave skull icons.
Worst-in-Class Velocity & Velocity-Range ratio. Shot travel time & bullet drop are quite noticable at just 40-50m, and hitscan range ends nearly 30m before the gun's +1.

Attachment Information

Pros: Speed Cap in 2 attachments.
YMMV: Integrally Suppressed +Recoil/+Velocity Barrel, but it tanks ADS, Mobility, & CQC. Uses Large Muzzles, so more Suppressor options but less Compensators/Flash Hiders.
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo. No UBWs. No Canted Irons Scope.

Notes

AM Kit's entry can be found in the DMRs class section.

Attachment Information

Pros:
Cons: No Incendiary Ammo, No Aftermarket UBWs, No Canted Irons Scope.

Notes

*Nearing Best, **Nearing Best, ***Average, ****Average, and *****Average respectively, if you can bear using a 15-round magazine.

Attachment Information

Cons: No Incendiary, Mono, or Round Nose Ammos. No UBWs. No Scopes (Including the Canted Iron, Canted Reflex, & Drexsom Thermal).

Attachment Information

Cons: No Incendiary, Mono, or Round Nose Ammos. No Aftermarket UBWs. No Canted Irons Scope.

Notes

The Requiem AM Kit is moreso just a very powerful barrel attachment, rather than a full conversion that substantially changes a bunch of stats/mechanics and warrants its own entry. It gives the weapon Best-in-Game full-auto Recoil in exchange for marginally lowering the TTK (to Worst-in-Class) & RoF (it's still Nearing Worst), as well as modest Mobility & Velocity penalties.

Attachment Information (Color?)

Pros: Unique attachments, ability to hit floors/caps in less than the average, etc
YMMV:Unique attachments that kinda suck, very niche build options, etc.
Cons: Attachment restrictions relative to the least-restrictive gun for the weapon's class, etc

Notes
