Burst Assault Rifle

The Burst Assault Rifle is an Assault Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in the Pre-Season alongside the Battle Royale game mode. 
The Burst Assault Rifle has two variants: Ocean's Burst Assault Rifle and Slone's Burst Assault Rifle.
== Functionality ==
The Burst Assault Rifle is a burst-fire, medium ranged weapon that fires 2-round burst shots (during Fortnite OG, the weapon fired in a 3-round burst). It excels at medium ranged combat, but has the ability to perform decently at long ranges. It is weaker at close ranges due to its burst fire, meaning it's very punishing upon missing a burst. The Burst Assault Rifle has first shot accuracy enabling longer ranged engagements to be more useful.

== Strategy Guide ==
*The Burst Assault Rifle has a decent DPS and high accuracy for a bloom-based weapon. It can used to eliminate targets in close-to-medium ranged combat.
*The Burst Assault Rifle is very weak against structures and it is ill-advised to use it against someone who is building cover.
*At very long distances, the Burst Assault Rifle has a higher chance of missing the second and third shot of the burst. Stick to close-to-medium-range for the best accuracy.
*The Burst Assault Rifle is not advisable to be used while hip firing, as it is very inaccurate while hip-firing.
*In the lower rarities, it's often more advisable to use another rifle that fires in a non-burst configuration, as many automatic Assault Rifles offer much higher DPS.
**However, the accuracy and quick damage burst potential gives the Burst Assault Rifle the edge in specific circumstances, such as when the enemy only peeks out for brief periods of time.
*When using the three-round burst version, you can get an opponent's structure to very low HP before firing the Burst Assault Rifle. If you're accurate, the first and second shot will destroy the structure while the third will pierce through and hit the opponent, even while turbo-building.
**This can be done with the two-round burst version as well, but it is much more difficult to pull off.
=== Counters: ===
* Due to the low fire rate, building can be a very effective counter to any version of the Burst Assault Rifle.
* To counter the Burst Assault Rifle's long range effectiveness, close the distance and use a close range weapon like an SMG or faster firing AR.

==Trivia==
*The Burst Assault Rifle after the Update v13.00 Patch was the first Burst Weapon with a two round burst.
===Visuals===
*The Burst Assault Rifle's model is based on the French FAMAS G1.
**The and rarities were formerly based on the Austrian Steyr AUG-A3 SF. 
***The charging handle is on the right while the real life version has it on the left and it’s not sticking outwards.
***The real life AUG-A3 SF doesn't have a 2 round burst function. As such, the model for this weapon was introduced when the weapon was a 3 round burst. 
****Furthermore, the AUG-A3 SF has an optional burst function, and can fire in full auto configuration in real life.
***The model for the and rarities was reverted to the FAMAS G1 most likely to prevent confusion, as the new Striker Burst Rifle uses the visuals of the AUG-A3 SF.
****However, its versions (Slone's and Ocean's Burst Assault Rifle) still use the AUG-A3 SF based model.
*The Chapter 1, Low Tier Burst Assault Rifle shares elements from the Russian AKS-74U / AK-102. 
**This is the same render as the weapon Predator in Fortnite: Save the World.
*The Chapter 1 High Tier Burst Assault Rifles was also based on the FAMAS G1, using a slightly different render of the weapon.
**This render of the weapon had a smaller carrying handle, a darker and less polished metal finish, and a lighter colored magazine. It was also cleaner, and less worn compared to the current render.
**This is the same render as the Lynx in Fortnite: Save the World.
