Battlefield 4 Assault Rifle Guide!

[@requiemagent3014]

I recently started to play BF4 again, in preparation of Battlefield 2042, and it's so crazy seeing Badger making a normal tutorial. Like wtf????

[@cosmiceel2404]

Same

[@bamtastick9141]

Yep

True only reason why I am subscribed to him, he is really boring to listen to.

[@BarbsBasement]

lvl goes waaaaaaaaay more in depth

[@ApstractMusic]

I really like both, actually. They both have their own style, and as already said, Levelcap goes more in depth and is very informative while good ol' Badger is more of an entertainer.

A bad gun,a good gun,a extremely good gun and.....the ACE 23 XD

[@bamajohn11]

ACE 23 is crap

[@videoshack12351]

You shiuldnt use muzzle brake if you have compensator unlocked, vertical recoil is way more easier to manage, and ten times more predictible

I use it with a Holo or RDS, Suppressor, Laser sight and Potato grip; it actually does pretty well for me

[@mavrickmain]

No sight Canted sight Bipod. Get it right newb

[@EvilBakaCat]

coming back to this after buying bf4 discounted for 5 bucks on steam, still better than most fps games out there.

[@k2wax]

M416 is my favorite one so far, mostly because of the reload time and good/nice accuracy. Great review Badger, insightful.

[@henloampepe]

The good ol' days

[@danieltdp]

Fantastic. Everyone just go on on KZbin saying this is good or this is bad, but you explain why and compare. Absolutely fantastic. Keep on the GREAT work. I vote for carbines next!

[@Bigjonmetal]

The Scar-H is an amazing weapon once you figure it out. I'd throw an angled foregrip and flash hider on it for best results.

[@birbtw0]

PDWs! There's a lot of coverage on Carbines, and LMGs can wait until the M-60. You'll probably educate the most people with the PDW guide.

[@SneakyPollack]

Wrong I use the kobra sight on everything.

[@Stormcrow41]

Kobra sight FTW

[@Cypress1312]

I use a kobra and a suppressor on sniper rifles.

[@Donut117]

You make me want to give the M16A4 another chance. Gonna try it out later.

[@dennislin1212]

Do a carbine guide next!! They're probably the most used guns right now.

[@AroPnut]

You should really do a carbine guide because I have the hardest time when selecting what carbine to use and I just keep switching between all of them.

[@LittlePoolOfWater]

Ak 5C is extremely versatile.

[@JojoJuhbo]

Ace 21. Great rof at 770, low recoil and 35 in the mag + 1 in the chamber.

[@VeryWetCarrot]

i have the same problem then i just end up useing the TAR

[@PecanPie745]

MTAR by far closely fallowed by ACW-R and G36C. However, use the support class if you want to use the MTAR... you go through bullets super quickly. I used the ACW-R for awhile until i unlocked the G36C.. then when China Rising came out i switched to the MTAR.

[@jordanr.410]

The m4 is literally perfect once u get bursting down other than that i like the aku12 for long range

[@jwill8229]

Good analysis of all the assault rifles you should definitely do carbines next

[@Gordonhaymes]

PDW guide please... great vid !

[@whogg0521]

I haven't watched your vids for a while, and I know with some patches, things have changed, but I really like this series...about to watch your carbine one too.

[@madstrikepolice-dylan-3156]

I use the M416 with Holo Sight(eotech) Suppressor Vertical or Angled grip And Laser/Light combo. Pretty damn good you should try it My sidearm is Usp 45 with ghost ring Laser And sometimes suppressor

[@ScottlyguyGaming]

Dylan Vincent YES, do you mean the compact 45?

[@ali-k]

usp 45? thats not a gun in bf4

[@ScottlyguyGaming]

ali k It's the compact 45

[@ali-k]

K

[@phonyponybologna1070]

I tried using the M416, and it's good, but I prefer faster rate of fire/ close range oriented assault rifles (I'm pretty good with the Famas and F2000). That said, I do like the CZ-805 and AR-160. Maybe I'll give the M416 some more time, it does have a great reload.

[@Titanium1500]

Great comparison, but you neglected to mention two important things. 1. The muzzle velocity. This is very important. The high muzzle velocity of the AUG A3 makes it work very well at range. The low muzzle velocity of the SCAR-H makes it hard to use at range (mostly for moving targets, which is most targets). 2. The first shot recoil is applied to the third shot while in burst fire mode. This means it's pretty pointless to use folding/angled grips on weapons you plan to use on burst fire mode.

[@themedic3341]

Watching this now I was just thinking "wow bajur was actually smart"

[@Pxinkill]

Yo teach me how to use a salt rifle?

[@Titanium1500]

Here's how I make the FAMAS work at medium-long range: - Use it in burst fire mode. It has a high first shot recoil, and putting it in burst fire mode moves the first shot multiplier to the third shot. This gives you much tighter groupings. It also stops you burning through all your ammo. - Use a heavy barrel as it greatly improves accuracy. The extra recoil can always be controlled since it increases vertical recoil, not horizontal recoil. - Use a stubby/potato grip. All you have to do is control the vertical recoil, then this makes sure all three rounds land very close together.

[@MrPoppodom]

Do this guide as a series pls, featuring all weapon classes.

[@grock5749]

Started watching this vid without even realizing it's old Badger. Still good vid tho

[@asboll]

Nice effort badger, this is a very good and effective guide

[@derrickwei30]

butt bajer i thought no one cared how many ace 23 kills you had >:(

[@decklen947]

Always enjoy your all gun review videos! I'll suggest Carbines next because I want to hear your thoughts on these!

[@GirlPainting]

thx for the video:) it realy helps. for next one i would like to see the karbines please :)

[@mettalica55]

[@JOtupp]

someone apologizing on youtube? what kind of magic is this

[@lenman05005]

Terdsniffy ***** we are handsome men

[@dablop1]

My personal favorite SCAR0H loadout: Coyote Heavy barrel Laser sight Angled grip Sometimes I run the muzzle break or suppressor, but I find it unnecessary as I fire in 2-3 shot bursts and find that the accuracy benefit of the heavy barrel outweighs the higher upward recoil. I have the same loadout with the L85A2 for the same reason, as well as the M416 (on that I use the potato grip instead of the angled, however).

[@RobiePAX]

Could you make the same guide with sniper rifles?

[@RobiePAX]

***** same thing here. I have trouble adapting to "faster" sniper rifles after playing with default ones for so long because I got used to shooting above targets, not aiming straight at them.

[@BloodAngel65]

0Artilary0 I beg to differ. It really depends on the shooter. I myself prefer the L96 simply because I'm used to it. I can't get the hang of the SRR-61 despite the fact that I unlocked all the regular and the L96 in the same round.

[@Ethan2143]

+Dunberla are is good as you start of with a 40x scope so you can easy-spot

[@hipotard1381]

I like the cobra a little bit more because the laser it produces is more intense and cannot be blocked out by the commander's EMP.

[@JojoJuhbo]

Aw, that Napoleon Dynamite reference was hilarious!

[@NeoFlite23]

For me, I use the M416 with the following attachments: Reflex sight (soon to be holo sight when I unlock it) Muzzle brake Angled grip Tactical light (soon to be magnifier when I unlock it) Reason I use the tactical light for now is when you drop iron on someone (especially when they are coming around a corner and think they have the jump on me or they don't expect and you hit them directly with it from 30m on in) the tactical light will as they do their peek or even lean for the quick kill or directly gaze upon it at 30m on in will blind the wazoo out of the opponent and allow me to fire just a little faster than they fire (but accurately) and win that fight. However; the tactical light does have its extreme disadvantage and that is when 1 has an angle on you (so as to not be shown the light directly eye to eye) or is far away enough to not be blinded by it it gives away your position when you drop iron in an awesomely bad way. It basically beyond 31m+ or at an angle with an enemy trying to flank you paints a Costco sized item bulllseye target on your back.

[@Brochodoce]

I miss this shit badger.

[@Dave_Chrome]

Me too.

[@A-G-F-]

I still do :(

[@benniebees]

badger you should mention muzzle velocity... the aug has the best muzzle velocity i believe... that is also a thing to consider when comparing weapons

[@keiros1]

Somehthing you didn't mention about the bullpup AR's is that you move faster while ADS compared to standard AR's, however it's bugged at the moment and you only get the bonus with iron sights.

Great review, but would love to have heard a bit more of your opinions on the weapons, as to whether you liked then or not.

[@awesomeLDZ]

Made a new drinking game. Every time badjur says "however" take a shot.

[@Tonym-ey9sl]

You have to stop yourself from reloading after each kill in hardcore mode because the rest of the bullets left in the mag just get dropped so you'll find yourself out of ammo really fast

[@qdea_]

Jeez 7 years later and we are shit posting battlefront 2

[@cloudy7003]

For the ACE-23 I'd use the stubby grip instead and with the M416 I'd say the Angled Grip is better, just because I use both guns and that setup seems to be effective both at close and medium ranges, and sometimes even long ranges.

[@pianospawn1]

Ellemjees pls

[@acetyl4088]

For the M16A4, I would recommend these attachments: Holo 1x Sight, or if you unlock it, Kobra sight 2x Magnifier, just for the extra range Compensator, or if your recoil control is really good, Heavy Barrel Stubby Grip, to make it more accurate at medium to longer ranges. I run this loadout, and I have had 200 kills with it in just 2 hours.

[@jiggyjig231]

Did you know the laser sight can help staying on moving targets as the beam tends to move off the reticle if you shoot a running target using the laser it will act as a compensator for the bullet travel

[@bravo6959]

Cokpensator?

[@Delta285]

God what the hell is this. He was trying way to hard back then. But very very good info

[@Mentosdog]

Another nice video. ACE23 and M416 are my favourites at the moment, even though I haven't appreciated the first one for a long time. Funny enough I find ACE working better for me at medium to long ranges than M416, but they're both decent in CQB . Then again it's kinda different when you are playing using dualshock rather than mouse + keyboard and you try to controll recoil. I will shock you my friend - I DO USE TAC LIGHT (!!!) But only on my M416 with silencer on Operation Locker ^_^ Not the biggest fan of laser sight on assault rifles though - the do make you quite easy to spot. What I really need though is an amazing gun like AN-94 from BF3. Beast on medium to long ranges and quite good in CQB with guick tap of burst fire. Put an ACOG on it and you could troll snipers at ridiculous distances :)

[@BabyMachine]

Honestly dont know why he kept saying "LASER SIGHT" for everything. I've killed SO many people just because i could spot them across the map with that attachment on... lol

[@Danz_RS]

That's because he hipfires basically everything.

[@AKprime051]

Watching this years and years later, and long after going blind and no longer being able to play the game, I feel personally attacked as a frequent user of a tack light back in the day, was great for darker maps that I had trouble seeing in with my visual impairment, never on a daylight map though, only indoors.

Lizzette Reyes Don't hate on the flashlight I found fun and evil uses for it. Like blinding you target if they have there brightness up it works so well. I blind 4 guys before rushing down the hall to a flag it made killing them easy.

[@Wienerslinky]

Gandalf The White in bf3 the Flashlight always blinded me when someone Aimed at me. But in bf4 it just helps me aim like in locker because it doesnt blind you

[@gandalfthewhite9210]

jelle kroezen I use flashlights in dark maps to. And if someone brightness is up there it can blind you it's funny when people have there brightness up. So I can blind them.

[@Lucidopherus]

Gandalf The White I read your comment and my cracked screen made it look like this "I use flashlights in dank maps to" xP.

[@gandalfthewhite9210]

Justin Bass Lol nice. That's to great.

[@ccrevival7290]

I think the delay is because revolvers shoot relatively slow-moving bullets. No only are the bullets heavy, but a lot of gas escapes from the cylinder. But slow moving bullets also have a benefit, they'll usually get lodged inside of the body instead of going through and through. If you have a near-half in bullet (.44) inside of you, you're going to have a bad time compared to a smaller 9mm (.357ish) going straight through and just leaving a hole.

[@nathantrent1209]

Not to mention you can't pull the hammer back before you fire, so you also have to take the hammer into account.

[@ccrevival7290]

Nathan Trent It's not that hard even with a double-action revolver. Unless you've got spaghetti for hands you should have no problem pulling the trigger on a revolver. I think they just do that for balancing reasons.

[@andreizedlav7303]

They took out the revolvers' shot delay in a patch. They're fine now.

#XTREME SUAG BRO

[@scragski]

For the QBZ-95-1, i recomend just sticking to the ironsights becuase the recoil with the red dot sight makes the red dot go all over the shop, yet when you use the ironsights, It doesnt seem to jerk around as much. Just how I see it anyways

[@起名2023]

i reccomend the 3.4 prisma or 4x jgm

[@TheAaronredbaron]

So far, the M16A4 is my favorite gun in the game. (I'm on Xbox... IDK if it makes much of a difference)

[@mrslothguy]

Not for us console players but PC its way easier to control recoil and bursting and aiming. Most PC players hate playing on console because its harder.

[@TheAaronredbaron]

Hm, I don't know but some some reason on xbox the M16A4 seems easy for me.

[@hokuwong]

mrslothguy Playing both, it's definitely easier on PC to handle recoil, but there are things you can learn from one to apply in the other

[@quarondwight5682]

[@Mega989Deth]

The M16A4 and L85A2 are both my best assault rifles. I say put heavy barrel, angled/folding grip, and laser for the M16, so freaking accurate. The L85 i say suppresor, stubby/potato, and laser. Great hipfire and great accuracy put into a stealthy high firerate machine.

[@FrigidFriar]

Eww no, muzzle break ruins the ADS accuracy on the L85A2. Either go flash hider, suppressor, blank or - for those who can recoil control - heavy barrel. If you can handle the recoil with potato and heavy barrel, it's a laser beam of doom. The general lust for muzzle break in the video is surprising. They really really hurt burst accuracy, and on PC you really don't need them for most guns.

[@xXMlgCreaturecats]

Hey guys quick tip dont fire from the hip and then ads. Your accuracy starts at your hip fire and then shrinks.

[@MrSemperfit]

That was fixed in the last patch.

[@acomputer121]

BCboneless This patch it is just the worst possible ads fire.

[@Jinn_-]

BCboneless before the most recent patch it stayed the same as your hip fire spread but now it just lowers the spread a little, it's just the worst ADS spread achievable.

[@MrSemperfit]

That is exactly how it is intended to work. Pre-patch was not, therefore they patched it.

Have you ever tried using any assault rifles in Conquest. They perform quite differently in conquest in my opinion

[@edieoedie1]

never muzzle break..... never muzzle break

[@MrMarrowsky]

Muzzle break on the M4A1 and M16A4 wrecks so much shit. It is crazy.

[@edieoedie1]

Tyler Billings a compensator will wreck more shit with the M4/M16a4 On bigger conquest maps HBAR also wrecks shit HBAR paired with laser will make these two weapons much better while moving, which imo is one of its weaknesses (Burst only + Strafing= no accuracy)

[@MrMarrowsky]

Edward Wang I wouldn't know, I've been playing around with a lot of different weapons, so I haven't unlocked all of the attachments. Why do you hate the muzzle break?

[@bobruseman8392]

But muh console recoil skills...

[@edieoedie1]

Tyler Billings The Muzzle Break is completely useless on PC because Vertical Recoil can be predicted and compensated for very easily. On console it's a different story, but generally on most guns having a Compensator will benefit the gun a lot more. The Heavy Barrel is also a phenominal attachment, especially on guns with a high base spread, turns PDWs into laser beams. Suppressor is awesome....There are simply much better barrel attachment.....

[@TrollingWolfGaming]

Putting burst on the L85 with an angle grip is so godlike. As for the Ace 23, I find it annoying to use because of the recoil and the fire rate.

[@samuels.617]

Even ACE 23 is the best AR in the game stil... M16A4 FTW :D

It isn't really best, more easiest-to-use. Nice damage stats and muzzle vielocity, and easy to control recoil. A person using another weapon can be superior, but the ACE 23 anyone can pick up and use, same reason why people screamed that the M16A3 was OP.

1 thing u forgot about the m16a4 that no one mentions is that its maximum accuracy spread resets at the end of each burst. making the gun constantly accurate. basically u can pre fire around a corner hip firing then ads and still b e shooting and have ads spread instead of hipfire spread.
