Damage and fire rate are two main aspects of any weapon in Free Fire as both factors play a decisive role in quickly finishing off an enemy. The XM8 is a decent choice for either factor.

XM8 has a damage rating of 57 with a firing rate of 60. The assault rifle comes in handy in close-range and mid-range fights, while its long-range performance is also satisfactory.

Additionally, XM8's movement speed is also rated at 73, which is quite beneficial during close-quarter combat. The only con is its default magazine capacity of 25.

Players should equip XM8 with magazine attachments along with other equipment to get better results.

AUG is the quickest automatic AR in Free Fire, with a firing rate of 61. It performs pretty well at mid-range and is a deadly weapon in short-range skirmishes with a damage rating of 56.

AUG comes with a pre-applied scope attachment and has a default magazine capacity of 35. However, it is not a suitable weapon for long-range fights due to its range of 56 and low accuracy of 35.

1) Groza

Groza is an airdrop weapon that excels in every rating for an AR. It has a rapid rate of fire, insane range, great damage, a decent magazine capacity and a satisfactory accuracy rating.

Hence, Groza can be crowned as the best assault rifle in Free Fire, equipped with plenty of attachments. It performs equally well at any range and can be considered the most suitable AR for either BR or CS mode.
