Assault Rifles are the only weapon in Call of Duty: Warzone 2 that can perform well in every range and every type of tricky situation because of their high mobility and great damage output.

M16
The best burst rounds Assault Rifle.

Why I chose this: Better handling and mobility with burst-fire shots.
Choosing a weapon like M16 can be both favorable and risky. Since all of the players know of the M16 from pretty much every Call Of Duty game, they might go for it. They have majorly changed the M16 this time. People tend to play with the M16 via its amazing burstpower, but they have nerfed it this time. It might seem like it is a big disadvantage, but it isn’t.
Why I choose this: High Fire rate with good overall handling in close range.
A new addition to the AR weapon class is the M13B. It was an important addition because of its incredible fire rate in close to mid-combat ranges. It has the fire rate of an SMG and the firepower of an AR. If given a proper chance, it has the potential to finish up enemies quicker than ever. It is the best choice as an assault rifle for beginners in COD Warzone 2.0.

TAQ-56
The best versatile Assault Rifle.

Why I choose this: High damage and more versatile than other option of same category.
Now, onto a weapon that can be called the jack of all trades. The potential the gun has will be seen by many players throughout the season. It is an incredible force to be reckoned with, but it requires additional practice with the weapon in order to fully master it. You may call it a dependable assault rifle in COD Warzone 2.0 as it provides the best selection of attachments you could use.
Why I choose this: It is easier to carry and use, even at medium to long range.
The Kastov-545 has an incredible and probably unbeatable fire rate which can render enemies with LMGs useless. It focuses primarily on bullet velocity and the damagerange it has. You can hit opponents from farther ranges easily without much worrying about the recoil. You can fire up and crash up the trios easily via this weapon. It will take you a little while to get the hang of it since it is a new gun.
