==Strategy Guide==
*The Suppressed Assault Rifle is good for short and long-range combat, excelling at medium-range.
*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 7 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.
*Crouching with this gun resets its first shot accuracy faster, allowing for more accurate shots. Crouching also reduces its hipfire spread and spread in general.
*The Suppressed Assault Rifle has a moderately high DPS and excels at breaking enemy structures fast.
*This weapon is most effective at medium range (e.g. 1-2 tiles away from the player/entity) due to its accuracy and decent rate of fire. It can also be used at long range, however, this is less effective because of bloom. A weapon such as a Scoped Assault Rifle or Red-Eye Assault Rifle would be better for long-range usage.
**Close-range usage is sometimes useful to quickly deal damage to players/entities and catch them off-guard, but a Submachine Gun will be more useful for these kinds of engagements.
*It is unwise to challenge players wielding Sniper Rifles, as they can instantly eliminate the player with a single well-placed shot while attempting to whittle away at their health one shot at a time. Instead, close the gap between the enemy by placing some structures to get within a range where sniping isn't nearly as practical.
*When choosing between a Suppressed Assault Rifle and an Assault Rifle, it's good to note that the Suppressed Assault Rifle has the same DPS as the standard Assault Rifle two rarities under it. 
**For example, when picking a Suppressed Assault Rifle, you are essentially choosing a Suppressed Assault Rifle. As such, it is important to decide whether having a Suppressor is more important than dealing extra damage.
=== Counters ===
* An Assault Rifle of 1 rarity lower can immediately counter the Suppressed Assault Rifle, being able to outperform it at range.
* A scoped or red-dot weapon can also hard-counter this weapon, due to its lack of accuracy after 7 shots.
