ARC Raiders - Weapon Guide: The Rattler (Fully-Automatic Assault Rifle)
Overview
The Rattler is a fully-automatic assault rifle chambered in Medium Ammo, widely regarded as a cost-effective alternative to the higher-tier Tempest. It delivers solid damage output and accuracy but requires upgrades to reach its full potential. With a significant boost to magazine size in Patch 1.7.0, the Rattler has evolved into a more accessible and sustained-fire option for Raiders seeking a dependable automatic weapon without a steep initial investment.
