The Combat Rifle is a Primary weapon introduced in the early updates of Pixel Gun 3D.
Description
It is a military-themed assault rifle that shoots bullets like any other machine gun. It deals good damage, has a great fire rate, decent capacity, and under average mobility. It is currently 10-12 shots when maxed out.
Appearance
It appears to be a remodel of the Army Rifle. This weapon is based on the real-life M16 with an added scope resembling an ACOG scope and equipped with an under-barrel bayonet. It has a snow camouflage with a cyan-blue tint.
In the reworked appearance, it has a dark-gray theme with a slight blue hue. It loses a cosmetic underbarrel bayonet.
Performance
The rifle shoots 35 regular bullets at a high fire rate with instant bullet travel time. The accuracy slightly decreases when hipfiring. It has a 4x scope attached to this weapon to allow longer-ranged battles
Although a bayonet is attached, it serves no functional purpose.
When reloading, the magazine is taken out, replaced by a spare one, and the bullet rechambers.. It has no delay mechanics.
Obtaining

Strategy
Tips
- This weapon has relatively low mobility compared to other upgraded weapons, so it is best used with equipment that boosts mobility.
- Land headshots or/and target weakened opponents for better ammunition conservation.
- If at close range, spray its bullets. Charge at opponents while firing continuously to maximize effectiveness.
- However, take note that this weapon has considerably high recoil.
- The high spread of full auto can help when attacking groups of enemies or mobile opponents. Be sure to use it when the situation calls for it.
- Upgrade this rifle to fool your opponents into believing that you are using an outdated weapon.
- This weapon becomes inaccurate when fired continuously, which makes firing in bursts effective at range.
- Use the scope to take out players far away, as the scope reduces recoil and increases accuracy.
Counters
- Flanking the user is a good option. Due to the all around nature of this weapon, the element of surprise is a benefit, however, don't try to melee the user, as this weapon's fast fire rate can crush you in seconds.
- Attack these user(s) at mid-range, where the user is weakest. Be sure to keep a distance and strafe to avoid this weapon's high rate of fire while trading fire.
- Pick off its user(s) from long ranges. However, they can shoot back using the scope, so take cover once they notice you and the bullet spread is very high so it can be hard to get a sufficient amount of hits on them.
- Take cover when someone uses this weapon on you.
- Ambushing the user is always a good option.
