Assault Rifles are the go to standard weapons in most Call of Duty games. The same goes here in Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2. These weapons offer great range, decent damage, and a manageable fire rate. As such, they are one we can say as the general weapons. They do good in every situation but they are not exceptionally great. They can get beaten by shotguns or SMGs in close combat and they do not offer much in terms of range when compared to Sniper Rifles or Marksman Rifles.
As they are all-around weapons, they are somewhat easy to use and manageable. If you are starting and would want to level up fast, make use of Assault Rifles. They can be used in most maps and are reliable enough to get you to higher levels until you unlock more weapons, perks, and other gadgets.
