The assault rifle is a moderately heavy, automatic ranged weapon which fires 3-shot bursts of rounds which deal a moderate amount of damage each; a slightly shorter delay between each shot; a moderate time between bursts; slightly longer range and moderate overall accuracy.

Acquisition[edit]

Assault rifles can be crafted at a machining table once the precision rifling research project has been completed. Each requires Steel 60 Steel, Component 7 Components, 40,000 ticks (11.11 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter, and a crafting skill of 6.

They can also be found in ancient shrines or purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, and outlander faction bases. They can also be found on the following raider kinds:

Raider Kind Chance Average Quality Health
Mercenary Gunner 9.17% Normal 70-320%
Elite Mercenary 53.37% Normal 100%
Boss 53.37% Normal 100%
Ancient Soldier 10.81% Normal 100%

Analysis[edit]

The assault rifle is the jack-of-all trades of RimWorld's firearms. Single-target damage is respectable, with accuracy and warmup time being good overall. Range is amazing - tied for third of all non-consumable weapons and only beaten by weapons with considerably less DPS. Statistically, the assault rifle's only significant deficiency is it's stopping power, as it's unable to stagger humans. Practically another consideration is its expense, though not as expensive as a charge rifle. You won't see raiders use assault rifles until the midgame somewhat limiting the chance to use looted rifles before the higher qualities available to colony-produced weapons take precedence.

In terms of actual DPS, the assault rifle is consistently higher than the LMG, lower than the heavy SMG until beyond short range (12 tiles), and generally outdamaged before and after AP by the lower-ranged charge rifle. All four are completely outdamaged by less flexible weapons like the minigun and chain shotgun however. The assault rifle is a moderately skill friendly-weapon when the player manually controls the pawn's range, though the charge rifle and heavy SMG tends to fill that niche better.

The assault rifle can be used to good effect in virtually any use case, whether in close-quarters, out hunting, or on the field. Other weapons surpass the assault rifle in specific roles, and they should be used instead when those roles are consistently utilized by the player, but no other weapon is as flexible and versatileas as the assault rifle. For this reason, they are a common choice for standard issue when not optimizing for a specific strategy.

Stats[edit]

Against an unarmored human, an assault rifle can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 3 hits to the head or neck, or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 3 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 6 hits (~10.1 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.

      It may also change depending on the stats and the melee verbs available to the wielder if the weapon is wielded by some other than a baseline human.
    2. ↑ Chance for attack to be selected, assuming the weapon is wielded by a baseline human. It may change depending on the melee verbs available to the wielder
