Battlefield 3 DLC Guide — Premium Essentials Close-Quarters Weapons
Assault Rifles
Assault rifles are the most versatile primary weapons available, useful in a variety of situations. All assault rifles can be equipped with a grenade launcher, offering even more firepower capable of knocking down walls and damaging light-skinned vehicles. An underslung shotgun attachment is also available. These rifles can only be accessed by the assault kit.
AUG A3
This 5.56 bullpup design was developed in the 1970s and features high modularity while being fully ambidextrous. Since its adoption as the standard rifle of the Austrian Army in 1977, it has seen great success as an export, with a high number of global users praising its ruggedness and excellent handling.

SCAR-L
The SCAR rifle system’s modularity allows for many different configurations. The Mk. 16 “SCAR-L” features a 14-inch barrel and a full 30-round magazine. Compared to its 20-round carbine counterpart, the heavier Mk. 17, the SCAR-L provides greater target acquisition at longer ranges due to the extended barrel length and more controlled fire due to manageable recoil.
