Last Adjustment	Patch 11.3

Tactical Assault Rifle was an Assault Rifle in Battle Royale, It is available in Rare, Epic and Legendary and uses Light Bullets as ammunition. The Tactical Assault Rifle is fully automatic, and has a 30-round magazine.

The Tactical Assault Rifle's Rare variant was first vaulted on 9.30 Content Update #1 and the Epic and Legendary variants were vaulted on Patch 10.00, making it currently only available with the Playground and Creative modes. It was probably vaulted to reduce the amount of Assault Weapons or it may have been vaulted due to the John Wick crossover event being over.

In Patch 11.3, the Tactical Assault Rifle's Legendary variant has been unvaulted but is only available from Presents!. However the Tactical Assault Rifle has been added to the vault once again due to Winterfest ending and the Presents! being vaulted as well.

The Rare, Epic and Legendary variants of the Tactical Assault Rifle were unvaulted in the Spy Games LTMs during the Spy Games event in Chapter 2, Season 2.

Strategy

• The weapon can serve as a cross between a Submachine Gun and an Assault Rifle: It deals moderate damage at ranges one would assign to the aforementioned weapons.
• Unfortunately, its damage is rather low for long-range fights, in comparison to Assault Rifles that use Medium Bullets, although what it loses in damage is made up in accuracy - it is so accurate that many people called this weapon a "laser beam".
• Being rather compact, it can be used at a certain extend on close ranges (i.e. 2 tiles away from the target), although shotguns are still recommended for much closer ranges.

Trivia

• This is the primary assault weapon in Battle Royale to use Light Bullets, following the Minigun.
• This is the first weapon that does not use the built-in scope.
• It is modeled after the Taran Tactical modified SIG-Sauer MPX John Wick uses in Parabellum. However, the MPX is not classed as an assault rifle, but rather a submachine gun, which makes the Tactical AR a bit of an oddball, as it's a submachine gun classed as an assault rifle.
• The Tactical Assault Rifle was teased in the Season 9 Battle Pass art loading screen.
• The Tactical Assault Rifle is the forth fastest-firing assault rifle, firing 7 bullets per second, then the Drum Gun firing 8 bullets per second, then the Midas' Drum Gun firing 10 bullets per second and the Minigun firing 12 per second.
• The Tactical Assault Rifle has a slight extra zoom, most likely to compensate for the unused scope.
• Its Legendary version is still available in Solid Gold.
• Tactical Assault Rifle can be considered a Season 9 exclusive as it's released in Season 9 and vaulted for Season 10.
• Tactical Assault Rifle is the shortest lived assault weapon in Battle Royale, as it only lasted throughout Season 9 and a bit of Chapter 2 Season 1.
• This is the third weapon to have “tactical” on its name, the first one was the Tactical Shotgun, the second one was the Tactical Submachine Gun.
• It was the first tactical weapon to get a Legendary variant, but in the next months, both Tactical Shotgun and Tactical SMG got one.
• All the tactical weapons were in the game ONLY for a day, in July 2019, when the Tactical SMG was unvaulted for the 14 days of Summer event.
