LR-300 Assault Rifle
LR-300 Assault Rifle
The LR-300 Assault Rifle is a late-game automatic rifle in Rust that uses rifle ammunition and is designed to offer a more controllable alternative to the Assault Rifle (AK). Its defining characteristic is lower recoil combined with higher bullet spread, resulting in a different handling profile compared to other rifles.
Unlike the AK, which relies on mastering a difficult recoil pattern, the LR-300 is easier to control during automatic fire. This makes it more accessible for sustained engagements, especially for players who prefer consistency over raw damage potential. However, its increased spread reduces precision at longer ranges.
In combat, the LR-300 performs well at short to medium range, where controlled bursts and sustained fire can apply constant pressure on opponents. At longer distances, tap firing or short bursts are generally more effective than full sprays due to spread limitations.
Overall, the LR-300 excels as a support-oriented rifle rather than a pure dueling weapon. While it lacks the stopping power and precision of the AK at range, its stability and ease of use make it a strong choice in coordinated fights and prolonged engagements.
The LR-300 cannot be crafted and is only obtained through in-game loot.
