All about assault rifles in Free Fire

Assault rifles are the most popular weapons in Free Fire . They are deadly weapons that have a perfect balance between damage, range, accuracy, and rate of fire. Learn about the characteristics of these assault rifles and which ones are the best. We inform you about the pros and cons of each weapon, as well as the amount of extras or accessories to add and their availability in loot or drops .

Note : we use the numbers provided by Garena herself. Other than that, although the company includes SKS and M60 in the list of assault rifles, we have not included them in the list, since we consider them a sniper rifle and a heavy machine gun, respectively.

Parafal

• Extras: all types except the silencer.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: medium (also short with extras).

PARAFAL is an optimal assault rifle for medium-range combat, whose performance in close combat is hampered by the accuracy and speed of fire. Of course, if you add good extras, it becomes a good weapon for both types of situations. Having one of the lowest rates of fire on the list, PARAFAL is a weapon that requires a good pulse to avoid wasting any bullets.

AUG

• Extras: all types. Comes with 2x sight pre-installed.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: short and medium.

The AUG is one of Free Fire’s newest assault rifles . Although it has the largest magazine of all, decent damage and good rate of fire, the accuracy weighs on the performance of the weapon. Luckily, you can equip all kinds of accessories and even change the scope, so don’t hesitate to keep it if you find it.

AN94

• Extras: all types except mufflers and muzzle.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: medium.

The AN94 behaves like a kind of M4A1 but with worse characteristics, except for its damage. It is a good choice if you opt for a medium-distance combat, as you will be able to do good damage. Keep in mind that you can add all kinds of extras except silencers, so it will always be a noisy weapon in your hands.

Use the AN94 if you can’t find a more powerful assault rifle.

M4A1

• Extras: all types. You can also add the exclusive Chip M4 accessory.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: medium or long.

The M4A1 is one of the most famous weapons in the game and one of the assault rifles with the longest range . If we add to that its good damage and precision, it is not surprising that this weapon is a favorite of many players. In addition, it is usually easy to find during a game, especially in military locations.

Its great advantage is that we can add all kinds of extras, and it is perfect for both beginners and experienced players.

M14

• Extras: all types except the stock. You can also add the exclusive M14 Core of Wrath accessory.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: medium, but also long if you handle it well.

Armed with the highest damage and range of all assault rifles, the M14 is a deadly weapon in the hands of skilled players. In range, it is two points ahead of the M4A1, making it useful at long range. It is true that it has the lowest rate of fire on the list, but it is possible to add all kinds of accessories to make the weapon more powerful.

It is a weapon aimed at experienced players, and has a smaller magazine compared to the rest.

AK

• Extras: all types.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: medium or long.

The AK is another of the best known weapons not only in this game, but in the world of Battle Royales and shooters . The characteristics do justice to its fame, as it is one of the rifles with the most damage and range. The negative point is that it is one of the least precise on the list although, luckily, it can be solved with extras.

If you are patient with the shots, with bursts of two or three bullets, you will be able to eliminate enemies quickly.

SCAR

• Extras: all types except the stock.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: short or medium.

The SCAR is also not the most accurate weapon in the game and is actually worse than the AN94 on several features. Its plus point is that it is the assault rifle that fires more rounds per second continuously, making it useful in close-range engagements. Fortunately, almost all possible accessories can be added to make up for other shortcomings.

If you think that you will spend more time inside buildings or in other enclosed spaces, the SCAR is a good choice.

GROZA

• Extras: all types.
• Weapon availability: drops only .
• Optimal combat distance: medium or long.

The mix of damage and rate of fire, along with its long range and decent accuracy, make GROZA one of the best Assault Rifles in Free Fire . If it is already very good, the fact that we can add extras of all kinds makes your enemies tremble with fear. The negative point is that it is only available in drops , that is, in supply boxes.

Pay attention to these boxes because, if you see that one contains the GROZA weapon, take it immediately. You will not regret!

XM8

• Extras: all types except the shaft and the look, as it has an integrated one.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: medium.

XM8 is another assault rifle that was added months after the game’s release. It is a weapon that is in the middle in all the features and does not stand out much, other than being the most accurate rifle on the list. We have to bear in mind that it has a 2x sight integrated, so we can add all kinds of accessories except an improved sight.

If you find this weapon, do not throw it away, as it can get you out of more than one trouble.

FAMAS

• Extras: all types.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: short, but also medium or long if you handle it well.

The FAMAS is one of the best assault rifles in this Battle Royale , but also the most difficult to handle well. Bullets are always fired in bursts , so it’s crucial to aim well so you don’t waste them. It has a long range, plus decent damage and accuracy, making this weapon the deadliest at close range .

We recommend the FAMAS for those who are more experienced and know how to handle their recoil due to gusts.

Kingfisher

• Extras: all types except the charger.
• Weapon availability: loot .
• Optimal combat distance: medium and long distance.

Kingfisher is a very stable and reliable assault rifle for both medium and long range combat. Without being the most damaging weapon of its kind, with the Kingfisher you can land continuous shots more easily than with other weapons. If you also use accessories, you will have in your hands a weapon that can knock down enemies from afar.

There is no official data on Kingfisher’s statistics. For this reason, we will not include this weapon in the comparisons in the following sections.

The best assault rifles by features

As players of this Battle Royale , we not only like to know the weapons, but also to know which are the best according to their characteristics. Some people care more about harm; to others, precision or range. We have designed three listings to better show the comparisons between all assault rifles.

By DPS

The official game page does not provide us with data on the DPS (Damage Per Second) of all weapons. So what we’ve done here is a sum between the damage and the rate of fire for each assault rifle. The sum is made from the numbers shown in the previous tables.

This is the order from highest to lowest DPS:

1. FAMASand M14 : 120.
2. GROZA: 119.
3. AN94: 118.
4. PARAFAL, AUG, XM8and AK : 117.
5. SCAR: 114.
6. M4A1: 109.

As you can see, the FAMAS, the burst weapon par excellence, and the M14 are the winners of this feature. Although it is difficult to ensure that all the bullets hit our target, if we handle them well (especially the FAMAS), they are undoubtedly the most damaging assault rifles in Free Fire .

The next weapons on the list are GROZA and AN94. They have a good balance between damage and rate of fire and, in that sense, they are practically the same as the FAMAS and M14. After GROZA and AN94, there is nothing more and nothing less than a quadruple tie!

By scope

Assault rifles are known for their long range, although they obviously fall short of the numbers for sniper rifles. In this case, the representatives of this list of weapons are similar to each other but, even so, there are clear winners that stand out from the rest. Take a look what they are:

1. M14, M4A1 and GROZA : 77.
2. AK: 73.
3. FAMAS: 70.
4. SCAR: 60.
5. XM8and PARAFAL : 58.
6. AUG: 56.
7. AN94: 55.

The M14, M4A1 and GROZA are the queens of this feature, but AK comes close. The rest already lose quite a bit in comparison, so we can say that these four rifles are the big standouts in range. For practical purposes, the difference between the best four weapons is not so appreciable , so we could say that they are at the same level.

For precision

As you will see below, accuracy is the characteristic in which there is the most difference between assault rifles. For this reason, it is the number that has the most weight on the final rating of the weapon. If you want to know which are the most accurate rifles, take a look at this list:

1. XM8: 58.
2. M14: 57.
3. M4A1and FAMAS : 54.
4. GROZA: 52.
5. AN94: 48.
6. SCAR: 42.
7. AK: 41.
8. PARAPHAL: 40.
9. AUG: 35.

The XM8 and M14 are the big winners without a doubt, more accurate than any other assault rifle. After these two, they are followed by two weapons equal to each other: M4A1 and FAMAS. Therefore, for those who love precision, any of these four weapons that make up the TOP 3 can be useful.

The definitive TOP!

In closing, why not see what the best Assault Rifles in Free Fire really are ? Well, we are going to find out! We have added the figures for damage, range, accuracy and rate of fire. With this, we have designed a table of scores and final positions, to discover which weapons are in the first positions.

The numbers are not deceiving! The three most lethal assault rifles are the M14 , GROZA, and FAMAS . However, it should be noted that the M14 and FAMAS are somewhat difficult to handle, compared to other weapons such as GROZA, M4A1 or AK. Remember you can also add accessories to most assault rifles, so you can upgrade any weapon you take from this list.

It is up to you to choose one or the other rifle, depending on your style of play and preference in terms of weapons. If you want to know more about snipers, shotguns or pistols, know all the Free Fire weapons and which ones are the best .
