Fully automatic and decent against anything. These are versatile weapons which work in a variety of situations.

There are four different assault rifles available.

The assault rifle is a great mid-range weapon with a high rate of fire. The upgrades available to the player depend on player’s class and on the player’s actions. There are still distinct weapon types, however, and a few upgrades to be found along the way. Players will no longer constantly be running across slightly different variations of the same basic weapon type. The weapons of Mass Effect 2 are more similar to those of a normal shooter than those of the original Mass Effect.
