Assault rifle

The Assault Rifle is the Doom Chaingun equivalent for Strife. It uses bullets for ammo. It fires 3 bullets at time unlike the Chaingun's two. It can kill Acolytes, Stalkers and Sentinels quickly, but it is not recommended against stronger foes.

The Assault Rifle has two pickup sprites. They differ in looks - one is an Assault Rifle lying on the ground and the other one is the rifle standing vertically.

As an additional note, the Assault Rifle's accuracy is affected by the player's Accuracy Stat, and specific bonuses like the Accuracy Upgrade can increase the accuracy rating to make continuous shots more effective. This is best used in conjuction with the Targeter item.

Bullet clips are the ammo type used for this weapon. Picking up an Assault Rifle gives you 20 bullets. Ammo also comes in the form of a bullet clip and a box of bullets.

The first time you can pick up this weapon for free is in the Prison.
