The AEK-971 is a weapon featured in Battlefield 4.
Its iron sights are unchanged from its Battlefield 3 variant, but the AEK-971 now has a green handguard by default reminiscent of its Bad Company counterpart.
Singleplayer[]
The AEK-971 can be found as a collectible in Tashgar. It is found resting against green crates on top of the first concrete building in the field after exiting the tunnel. It is equipped with a PKA-S, Magnifier, Heavy Barrel and Potato Grip. It sports an Atomic Naval finish.
Multiplayer[]
The AEK-971 is the fourth assault rifle unlocked for the Assault kit, after the SAR-21 and before the FAMAS, requiring 28,000 assault rifle score.
Its appearance and mechanics are very similar to its counterpart in Battlefield 3. The rate of fire remains at 900 rounds per minute (RPM), making the AEK-971 the second fastest-firing assault rifle right behind FAMAS at 1,000 RPM. Thus being an excellent choice at close range combat, but requiring shorter bursts when engaging targets at medium and long ranges. The high rate of fire makes the vertical recoil very punishing. This weapon has a somewhat slow reload time compared to other Assault Rifles, so one should consider where and when to reload, as to not be killed during a firefight due to the longer reload.
The AEK-971 can mount the GP-30 grenade launcher on the Underslung Rail when the M320 is equipped, but not the M26 MASS. It unlocks the Russian optics, and can only acquire the United States and Chinese variants through Battlepacks.
