    The ARX's damage is moderate up close, but poor at a distance: with your effectiveness evaporating quickly at a middle range.
    Up close, you'll kill in three shots, or two where one shot is a headshot: in fact, headshots are particularly worthwhile with the ARX as it boasts the highest multiplier in its class, at 1.56x damage.
    At a distance you may need up to 6 shots to kill: although it may be worthwhile avoiding such conflicts altogether, as many other weapons are better suited for combat over longer sightlines.
    Rate of fire is very high, bested only by the FAD - at 857 rounds per minute.
    The integrated laser sight tightens up the hipfire spread of the weapon to some level above a typical assault rifle, on par with the SMG default instead.
    Given the elevated hipfire performance and rate of fire, combined with the low ranged damage, it may be best to think of the ARX as better fitting a hybrid SMG role.
    Recoil is moderate, with the ARX-160 rapidly pulling upwards away from your target.
    Because of this, you should be careful in ranged combat - but in the cases where it's a must, ensure that you only fire in short bursts to allow the recoil to settle.
    Aim time is identical to its peers, at 300 milliseconds - and you'll move at the assault rifle default, at 90% of the base speed.
    Magazine capacity is standard for the assault rifle class, at 30 rounds - or 45 with extended mags.
    Reloads are frequent courtesy of the higher rate of fire - and are fairly average for the ARX's class, taking 2.87 seconds to complete.
    The ARX-160 is a well-balanced weapon that brings many of the traits of an SMG to the assault rifle category.
    With high damage up close paired with a high rate of fire, the weapon is capable of killing very quickly - and the integrated laser sight means you can more effectively use the weapon in closer quarters.
    This ability to fend off aggressive attackers is a boon on smaller maps - and you retain many of the benefits of using an assault rifle, including superior range and a greater level of penetration.
    However, compared to some of the assault rifles on offer the ARX is lacking at a distance: damage drops off quickly to the lowest level in class, and the moderate recoil compounds this issue, severely limiting your ability at a long range.

    What many people fail to see, is the ARX-160 has a fantastic 3 hit kill range, up to 25m with the second highest rpm in the AR class, plus the laser sight makes it a deadly weapon to compete up close. Muzzle Break takes it up to 30, and that's crazy good!
    The FAD is also a good gun, but up close, the ARX-160 Kills much faster. At range... Yeah, then the FAD starts to shine. Regardless, both are good guns, but nothing packs a punch quite as good as the ARX. ;)

    • @TheKillerDonuts
      @TheKillerDonuts Před 10 lety +7

      Incorrect. FAD shoots faster and does more damage, it's time-to-kill is much faster.

    • @RvBnerd618
      @RvBnerd618 Před 10 lety +5

      How does it have more damage up close when it haves 34? 43 seems like more the last I've check. If you're talking about out of longer range, then yes you are correct, however the point I was getting at was that the ARX boosts a much better 3 shot kill range than the FAD, meaning it kills faster in close range than the FAD.
      The ARX WANTS to be up close and personal, what with it's built in laser sight and faster reloads, combine with the second highest rate of fire in its class and excellent 3 shot kill range makes it a better choice over the FAD, in terms of close range performance. Don't get me wrong, I think the FAD is a good gun, but the ARX just gets the job done much better if you're looking for a weapon to clear rooms and go toe to toe with SMG users without the need for Steady Aim.
      However, outside of that range, it does become pretty bad for an assault rifle, but this can be fixed by simply staying out of those fights and use cover to your advantage. If you play your cards right, with the right setup you can get in to your comfort zone and rain terror to your enemies!
