Strengths
- The ARN-220's dual magazine system allows the user to quickly return to full combat effectiveness by quickly swapping to the second magazine instead of fully reloading. This also gives the ARN-220 60 effective bullets, the highest magazine count of any Light-class weapon.
- The ARN-220 possesses competitive damage falloff values, especially when compared to other Assault Rifles like the AKM, making it more effective at longer ranges. This enables the user to play further away from danger while still consistently dealing high damage to enemies.
Weaknesses
- The ARN-220 has weaker close-range capabilities when compared to other popular Light class weapons like the M11 or XP-54, having a worse hipfire accuracy.
- It also lacks high burst damage, like what can be found with the SH1900, outside of repeated headshots. It instead excels at sustained damage dealt at a slightly longer range.
How to use it
- The user should always fire the weapon while aiming down sights unless the target is in extremely close proximity. Doing so will heavily increase accuracy.
- The user should play around cover and prioritize their engagements based on their magazine status.
- With both magazines available, the user has more potential to be aggressive. Switching between magazines once the first is expended takes very little time, and as such can be done with only a very brief lapse in combat or with only a moment behind cover.
- If the user has almost emptied their first magazine, they can dump the rest to swap to the second magazine, giving the user access to more bullets faster than if they reloaded the whole magazine.
- However, reloading the whole magazine is still relatively quick, so players may do that even if they have access to the second magazine.
