Sarins Assault Class review

Assault is probably my favourite class. Ive always preferred using bullets and accuracy in a firefight, but never had the patience for sniping. Assault gives you that + the ability to do AOE damage when needed, not only that, it gives your squad infinite ammo, and racks up the points in pubs.


Weapon selection

40mm grenade should be a no brainer. Your other choices are smoke or shotgun. Sure shotgun might be ok, but if you want a shotgun, pick a fucking shotgun. Why if you have an assault rifle you would want to fire a shotgun up close, when your assault rifle can do just as well, and miss out on a 40mm grenade i would have no idea.

The 40mm grenade drop is LESS then you would think, if you have height advantage, aim it just in front of there feet. If your at the same height or they are higher, aim for the wall they are next to, in front of, behind. Splash damage is your friend here, if there next to a wall, aim it so it hits around head height if possible.
If they are behind a wall, aim for the wall, NOT THE WINDOW that they are shooting out of, just the wall right next to the window. This will kill them.

Often they are in a building, but on the other side of it, OR, they have moved away from the window.
Take cover, fire 40mm into wall. reload, fire 40mm into the hole in the wall, it should hit wall on the other side killing them, or if there nearby both should cause enough damage together to get the kill.
Wait 2 seconds, throw your normal grenade, to clean up any medics for finish off anyone nearby.

40mm grenade has about a 12-15 ft arming range, so you cant shoot at at your feet and kill people, So aim for objects close behind them, OR hit them with it. I believe if you hit someone in the chest with the 40mm, it still kils them.


DONT RUN AROUND with the 40mm out for no reason, someone will spot you at a bad angle and drop you.

If someone sees you in a building shooting out a window, back right up, and when they stick there gun in the window to shoot inside, blow the wall up.

YOU DO NOT NEED EXTRA GRENADE PERK, you carry your own ammo FFS, if you take this perk, u deserve to die in a fire.



RIFLES

Im just going to list a few of them at this time.

M416.
Full auto, great gun especially for close in, good for medium range, decent at long range.
FIRING
CLOSE IN - Long bursts, of around 10 rounds or so. BURSST, BURSST.
If you hold it, you will likely die, if you pulse heavily, you should pick up multiple kills. Aim for upper chest/head. Bursts relatively clean.
MEDIUM RANGE - Pulse fire it, 4-5 bullets, aim upperchest, if there standing still, aim head and just TAP quickly. Can pulse very quickly.
LONG RANGE - TAP fire. 2 rounds at a time, you can tap fire quickly with gun.

AN-(whatever)
2 round burst, high damage, good accuracy, decent close in, great medium, great long range.
FIRING
CLOSE IN - can be harder to use in close quaters, side step and TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP, spam the button as quick as possible. If you hit chest/head the power of the rifle will kick in and drop them quick, if you miss your shots the delay in rate of fire due to 2 round burst will kill you. So concentrate on hitting and let the rifles damage do the work.
MEDIUM RANGE - Tap fire as quick as possible. You can do 5-6 bursts before your accuracy starts to get bad with the AN, which is what makes it so deadly at medium range. It EXCELS here, tap fire very quickly, if you fire 5 or so bursts and you need to keep shooting, give it 1 sec to recover accuracy.
LONG RANGE - can fire 2-3 bursts at long range accurately, then give it a sec, then go again.

M16.
3 round burst, lower damage, highly accurate, good close in, excels medium, good long range.
FIRING
CLOSE IN - like the AN, if you miss your burst your at a disadvantage. But the M16 can fire 3 bursts highly accurately VERY quickly, TAP TAP TAP. Also the weapon kicks up with recoil, meaning instinctive headshots. Concentrate on hitting target, pull get down SLIGHTLY as you spam if you need too.
MEDIUM RANGE - 3 bursts as quick as you can, wait, 3 bursts as quick as you can, wait. 3 bursts will kill anyone at the body area i believe, its highly accurate, kicks up as it fires, after 3 bursts accuracy drops.
LONG RANGE - 2 bursts at a time here and wait, if you spam it you will miss, if you be patient you will own.


Ammo pack. Throw it down ALWAYS, you will need maximum ammo at all times, as though your firing your rifle, in a second you might need 2 40mm grenades and a hand grenade to clear a squad.
Your team mates also need motion mines, bullets and grenades. If you dont have one down, you have failed your class.
Throw i behind cover, and throw it at cover your friendlies can get to. then say nice and clear "AMMO DOWN HERE" EVERY time you do it.


Perks.
The pick of the bunch imo is the Accuracy or the Magnum rounds.
Accuracy gives you, more accuracy. I often use it on the M416, lets me burst longer, gives me better shots at long range. Also sometimes use it on the AN, lets me spam TAP more, and that gun already has alot of damage.
Magnum i often use with the M16, sometimes AN, and if im doing close in fighting, often the M416 for house clearing.
an M416 with magnum rounds firing full auto at close range cuts down ppl fuck off fast.

Picking a non rifle gives you C4, handy combined with the ammo pack for taking out MCOM stations, buildings, or throwing C4, fucking useless for anything else.
If you want a shotgun, pick recon and get motion sensors to help you hunt ppl.

Extra Body armour, some may want this, i dont take it. If im getting shot at, then i either kill them first or die, an extra bit of armour wont help me kill, and id rather have the killing power.

Extra sprint is also handy, but i rarely take it. I mostly take Red Dot scope, but i should start practicing with iron sights more to make room for another perk, but i find red dot VERY effective, especially with an M16.


Pistols arnt that much of a worry due to the assault rifle and unlimited ammo. I usualy carry a tracer dart if its a vehicle map or scrim, or a revolver for stopping power.



A few tips.

Dont shoot in the open, if you spot an enemy move to the nearest cover, scope and shoot, as soon as you shoot. Duck, make sure your not being fired at, then check carefully for additional enemies before moving again.

If you kill a few people from a position, move, kill camera + people teamtalking will make sure you do soon if you camp. Retreat a little bit, they will spawn and move forward to get vengeance, not find you, think your dead and you will surprise them again.

If in doubt, noob tube it, if your not sure of a window, wall, anything, hit it. You carry unlimited ammo, play on the safe side.

Rifles are NOT FIRE FROM THE HIP IM RAMBO WEAPONS, scope when you can, DONT SCOPE when you dont have time, you will die before its up, ALWAYS concentrate on accuracy, dont spam.

Try to move THEN SHOOT, then move THEN SHOOT. Moving and shooting half defeats the purpose of shooting.


Hope that helps, post your own thoughts.
