Strengths
- The FCAR has a higher immediate damage output than the comparable AKM, though it has a smaller magazine size.
Weaknesses
- The FCAR's small magazine size means it often has moments of downtime.
- The FCAR's damage begins to fall off at moderate distances, and falls off severely at long distances. Additionally, due to bullet dispersion, it becomes more difficult to hit the target consistently.
How to use it
- Firing should always be done while aiming down sights, unless the target is extremely close. Doing so greatly increases the accuracy of the FCAR.
Community verdict
Early read: still the default Medium rifle at launch even after the 540->530 trim. The community shrugged, a 10-RPM cut barely dents it, and half the lobby is expected to keep running it.
Season 11 status
Nerfed. 11.0.0: Rate of fire 540->530 RPM. A small nerf walking back part of the Season 10 fire-rate buff; the pre-launch 'FCAR buff' rumor was wrong, it was trimmed, not boosted.
