The AR Rifle is an assault rifle in War Brokers that acts as the default primary weapon. Its wide usage makes it often considered one of the most popular weapons—if not the most popular weapon—in the game.
Design[]

The AR Rifle's model used to resemble the M16 in third-person-view. It is basically a standard AR-15 and M4 hybrid, with a dark grey body. It has a standard AR barrel and handguard, with a M4 style stock. It uses a light grey STANAG magazine. In Classic mode, it is equipped with a 2x red dot sight. It has semi-auto, burst-fire, and fully automatic firing modes, with a standard magazine size of 30 rounds.
Performance[]
The AR Rifle is a well-balanced weapon ideal for mid-range combat and is decent in close-range encounters. However, the effective firing range of this weapon far exceeds any of the other assault rifle class weapons, as it does not have as limited damage drop off (like the AK Rifle) nor the inaccuracy while moving with the SCAR. Sniping with the AR Rifle is not typically recommended due to its recoil and slightly reduced accuracy at long ranges. After a certain range-point (60m), the damage will be reduced linearly based on distance. Regardless, it is considered by many to be the best-suited assault rifle that is also capable of taking out pesky snipers from a reasonable distance. The red-dot sight is smaller compared to other guns, allowing greater accuracy to be achieved. It is devastating to opponents when hitting headshots, and has very reasonable hip fire abilities. As with all ADS-capable (Aiming Down Sights) weapons, you can hold shift (Default key) to temporarily hold your breath to reduce sway. If you press the period ( . ) it will change its firing mode (full auto, 3 round burst, or semi-auto). Being an assault rifle, it has a medium-sized magazine, fast rate of fire, and good accuracy. The main disadvantage is the recoil, though skilled players should be able to eliminate their target and control the recoil. All in all, it's a good rifle for players who end up engaging in combat at a variety of ranges, and the most widely used weapon in the game at the time of writing.
The AR Rifle takes four headshots at point blank range to kill a player at full (375) health with no armor.
Attachments[]
The AR Rifle can use every attachment except for the Sniper Scope.
Trivia[]
- The AR Rifle (as stated multiple times) is the most popular weapon in the game, possibly due to it being the default weapon new players are given.
- The AR Rifle used to look like an M16 when viewed in 3rd person,
- Earlier versions of the AR Rifle had a different scope. This is seen in the War Brokers GIF. The gun received another minor update which removed the iron sight at the front of the gun, increasing the effectiveness of the scope.
- For a temporary period of time in early 2023, the AR Rifle statistically outclassed the AK Rifle in every way.
- The M4 and M16 both shoot 5.56×45mm NATO, therefore meaning that rifle ammo in both BR and DC for this weapon is 5.56x45mm NATO, just like the SCAR.
