MA5C assault rifle: Difference between revisions

In many multiplayer matches, you will begin with the MA5C. This means that this rifle could be one of the most used weapons in the match. Due to its high rate of fire, it is very capable of whittling down shielding in about 2 seconds. If the opponent does not have a [[Sword]], [[Shotgun]], [[Mauler]], or other short-range weapon, then a good strategy is to get into close range and charge them firing all the way. When you get close enough to them, melee. This usually kills the other player but leaves your shields down and you low on or out of ammo, so it's best not to do this with other enemies around when in an open area. Also, if the other player has [[Sword]], [[Shotgun]] or [[Mauler]], then this tactic is useless because close range weapons are the Achilles heel of this tactic. Another tactic is to use the rifle as a Squad Automatic Weapon. This means that you can spray the area of a target in order to get the enemy to keep their heads down. This is especially helpful if you are being fired upon by a sniper because even if one round hits the sniper, they are knocked out of the scope and the become disoriented. This gives you a chance to find cover or move in for the kill. The [[Fragmentation Grenade]] used in combination with the Assault Rifle is also extremely effective. For example, if you are being pursued jump around a corner and quickly throw the [[Fragmentation Grenade]] to bring down the targets shield. Once your hand comes back open fire where your grenade went off. This should bring your target down, unless the target had an Overshield.
