ACR

ACR/ACW-R In real life

The Bushmaster ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle), previously known as the Magpul Masada before Bushmaster and Remington took over production, is an assault rifle developed initially and proposed for the future replacement of the M16 and M4 family of assault rifles. The ACR uses the standard 5.56x45mm NATO round but is also intended to be modifiable to employ the 6.5 Grendel, 6.8mm Remington SPC, .308 Winchester and the Russian 7.62x39mm M43 rounds. Similar to other weapons such as the M416 and the SCAR family of rifles, it uses a piston instead of the direct impingement of the M4/M16 series of weapons.

The ACW-R appears in Battlefield Play4Free as a buyable weapon for the Assault class.

Battlefield 3

"This adaptive combat rifle features a number of recent rifle designs and acts as a lightweight, feature heavy, rifle platform. Using the modern, recoil-reducing “Grendel” round, as well as being built to endure rough weather conditions and capable of utilizing standard STANAG magazines, this rifle is equipped to fill many of the roles required by both military and law enforcement uses."

— Battlelog description

The ACW-R is a weapon introduced in the Battlefield 3: Close Quarters expansion and is unlocked upon the completion of the Done Fixing assignment. It was first seen in the Close Quarters Gameplay Premiere trailer.

The ACW-R is optimized for medium to long range combat, similar to the SCAR-H, with the ACW-R featuring a very controllable and consistent recoil. It is generally weaker than other carbines in close quarters, this is because of the lower damage up close, requiring 5 rather than 4 shots to kill.

This low maximum damage is fully compensated by the high minimum damage of 16.7, causing long range performance to be somewhat comparable to the AS VAL. The 850 RPM fire rate does somewhat compensate for the low damage, but has a larger effect on the long range performance. The high fire rate and minimum damage combined with good accuracy allow for very quick long range kills.

Battlefield Premium members may equip the Tactical Camo as well as the Digital Woodland Camo upon the completion of the ACW-R Specialist assignment.


Battlefield 4

The ACW-R returns in Battlefield 4.

Multiplayer

The ACW-R is unlocked after obtaining 6,000 points while using Carbines. It does average damage for Carbines, but is helped by a very high rate of fire, at 880 RPM. It has a moderate recoil, and unlike other fast-firing weapons like the AEK-971 or CZ-3A1, can be kept on target fairly easily. Its iron sights are sharp and clear.

A Muzzle Brake or Compensator can aid in controlling recoil overall, and an Angled or Folding foregrips can make short bursts more precise.

The Stubby or Potato grips can be useful for increasing accuracy, and the Ergo and Vertical grips aid with firing on the move. A Laser Sight is useful for hipfiring.
