Assault Rifle
The Assault Rifle is a weapon with well-rounded stats, as it functions well at any range. It requires the player to keep their crosshair on their opponents to deal its damage. This is the default primary weapon that the player obtains first when joining the game.
Default starter primary, reliable at all ranges.
Sniper
The Sniper is a weapon which requires good aim. The scope will always have the same magnification effect (depending on the ADS), its scope functioning similarly to an ACOG sight combined with a traditional sniper scope. When used properly, this weapon can be extremely powerful in both long-range and close-range situations, allowing for the usage of versatile tactical options in various combat scenarios.
Movement speed penalty while equipped.
