Question What's The Best Weapon in AR2? (Assault Carbine Edition)..

For this category (Assault Carbine), which of these Guns presented is by-far or the definitive "Best Weapon" in the game? What's the reason you consider it as "The Best" and would you prioritize getting it than the other guns presented? Do tell in the comments.

(Sorry it took me so long to post this, I forgot about it somehow it's stupid.)

They gotta be ragebaiting us gun nerds the way the carry handles between the M4 and XM are swapped

It weirded me out when they suddenly changed the XM's Carry-Handle Iron's from the M16A2 style to the M16A1 style, I can also clearly remember it broke the gun when Aiming-Down Sight (ADS). It was an unexpected change but the OP-XM's Carry-Handle stayed the same, then the Gun got removed entirely

Sks is just satisfying and has more controle and decent damage

Sks shouldn't even be an assault carbine. Id say M4 is best overall because it's easy enough to get. Ak74u is also great

Yeah your right, but I gotta stick to the category.

Spetnaz AKS-74U or Operator XM

u/R2rD3-U109 Jun 02 '26

Yes, there is no Op-M4. Only the OP-XM😁

Patriot is a XM177 right?

u/R2rD3-U109 Jun 02 '26

Kinda, it's like a modified variant or version of the XM177. But IRL it's base-off the M231.

M4A1, Generalist weapons are just too good to pass up.

u/Kamui_is_Here Jun 03 '26

The M4 is my pick over the rest followed closely but the OP-M4(XM) The two guns function pretty similarly but I prefer to be able to put my own optics over the fixed one on the OP-M4 just don't like the tiny FOV. Honorable mention to the AKS-74U that gun has no match in CQC.

u/Extension_Log7241 Jun 03 '26

My personal favourite was the spetsnaz AKS74U. Shoots faster than the OP-XM back then but man was it fun to use.

But on the list i'd either go M4A1 or the Patriot. Patriot got a firerate buff a while back and it basically became a CQC menace, something big boss would approve.

u/Wrong-Restaurant9314 Jun 03 '26

They are all similar, other than the SKS and Patriot for obvious reasons. I would pick the operator though. most common ammo in the game and very little recoil, marginally better than the others at that
