History
Introduced 5.40 Content Update
Vaulted Patch 9.00

Suppressed Assault Rifle was an Assault Rifle in Battle Royale. It is available in Epic and Legendary variants. It uses Medium Bullets and has a head shot multiplier of x2.0. The Suppressed Assault Rifle, as its name implies, is a silenced weapon that constantly shoots bullets that do moderate damage. It has incredible accuracy for the first few shots it fires, but quickly loses this property when continuously firing. Both variants of the Suppressed Assault Rifle can be found from floor loot, Chests, and Vending Machines, and its Legendary variant can also be found in Supply Drops and Buried Treasure. The Suppressed Assault Rifle itself and the Buried Treasure were both vaulted on the initial patch of Season 9.

The Suppressed Assault Rifle was Vaulted in Season 9, making it only available in Creative, Playground, Unvaulted and Sneaky Silencers. It was vaulted due to reduce the amount of suppressed weapons in the game and because it was too overpowered, having the same stats in Legendary variant besides DPS and Damage like Legendary Assault Rifle, and more silent.

The Suppressed Assault Rifle has been unvaulted for 24 hours on July 8th 2019. Following the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, this is the 14th and last item to be unvaulted in the 14 Days of Summer event.

Strategy

  • The Suppressed Assault Rifle starts off as the most accurate rifle in the game, but quickly falls off to being one of the least accurate guns after merely seven shots. Due to this, it is usually advised to fire in short bursts of four to five shots to ensure its initial accuracy is used well.
  • The Suppressed Assault Rifle is best suited to more sneaky players who want to stay low and take shots when it counts. The gun is silenced and cannot be heard past 50 meters, making it more suited to somewhat long ranges of combat, and its initial accuracy makes it very likely for many shots to be hit in one short burst.
  • The Epic and Legendary Suppressed Assault Rifles do the same damage as the Uncommon and Rare Assault Rifle, meaning it takes one more shot to eliminate opponents than the Epic and Legendary variants of the Assault Rifle.
  • The gun is able to gain first shot accuracy incredibly quickly. This combined with its silenced aspect makes it acceptable at ranges where sniper rifles would usually be viable.
  • Since buildings are big, it is usually possible to continuously fire and destroy buildings without worrying about bullet spread.

Trivia

  • The weapon is based on the Epic and Legendary Assault Rifles, which in themselves are based on the FN Herstal Mk 16, better known as the SCAR-L, originally developed alongside the Mk 17 or SCAR-H for the US SOCOM's Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle program and introduced in 2009.
  • The Suppressed Assault Rifle has higher bullet spread than its counterpart Legendary Assault Rifles. However, it can shoot with 100% accuracy only 1 frame before its counterpart. This means it has higher overall bullet spread.
