In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, there are three Assault Rifles, which are the Warforged Assault Rifle, Tactical Assault Rifle, and Enforcer AR. These can all be upgraded with up to four Weapon Mods to create the best builds.

The Warforged Assault Rifle is an automatic, medium-ranged weapon that fires insanely fast and deals high damage. It excels at medium and close-ranged combat but suffers at longer ranges due to the high recoil.

Meanwhile, the Tactical Assault Rifle is a fairly similar AR choice but has different strengths. It is fully automatic with a slightly reduced fire rate and lower damage compared to the Warforged AR. Instead, it has a tight spread and low recoil when fired, which makes it excel at medium to long-range combat with accurate shots.

However, the Enforcer AR is completely different from the two other AR choices in Fortnite this season. It is still considered fully automatic, but the fire rate is significantly slower. It has the highest damage out of them, with superior strengths at long-range, but severely lacks at short-range.

Despite all the AR’s strengths and weaknesses, they can all be modded with the best Weapon Mods to counter-act their weaknesses and buff their strengths, as shown below.

Here are the best attachments for the Warforged Assault Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3:

  • Optic: Holo-13 Optic (1.3x Scoped View)
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil)
  • Magazine: Speed Mag (Increase reload speed)
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip (Improves ADS recoil and spread)

Using this combination, the Warforged Assault Rifle becomes the ultimate mid-range assault rifle. With the Holo-13 Optic, you can easily target nearby opponents and shoot with minimum recoil thanks to your Vertical Foregrip Underbarrel and Muzzle Brake barrel.

Meanwhile, the Speed Mag Magazine mod allows you to quickly reload during those intense gunfights.

Here are the best attachments for the Tactical Assault Rifle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3:

  • Optic: Holo-13 Optic (1.3x Scoped View)
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil)
  • Magazine: Drum Mag (Increase ammo capacity)
  • Underbarrel: Vertical Foregrip (Improves ADS recoil and spread)

Using this Tactical Assault Rifle best build, it becomes the perfect mid-range assault rifle with these Weapon Mods.

Firstly, you can easily target both nearby and medium-range opponents with the Holo-13 Optic and the Drum Mag gives you a needed Ammo boost. The Muzzle Brake Barrel and Vertical Foregrip Underbarrel round it out to make your shots even tidier for some incredibly accurate firing.

Here are the best attachments for the Enforcer AR in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3:

  • Optic: Holo-13 Optic (1.3x Scoped View) or Sniper Scope (4x Scoped View)
  • Barrel: Muzzle Brake (Reduce recoil)
  • Magazine: Drum Mag (Increase ammo capacity)
  • Underbarrel: Angled Foregrip (Reduces ADS time)

Using the Holo-13 Optic will make the Enforcer AR easier all round for aiming at medium to long-range, and even short-range if necessary.

However, with Sniper Rifles being vaulted in Season 3, using the Sniper Scope Optic will make it superb for picking enemies off with sniper-esque long-range shots. Either is solid, so choose to select either depending on the situation in your matches or your play style.

The Muzzle Brake Barrel reduces your recoil, while the Angled Foregrip Underbarrel lets you aim down those sights faster to fire quick high-damage dealing shots.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is filled with Nitro-fueled vehicles that you can fortify, Mythic Nitro cars, a fresh roster of NPCs, and of course major collaborations.
