Call Of Duty: Mobile Season 8 update is here, and better than ever before. As players know, whenever COD: Mobile releases a new season, the meta is sure to change due to the season's patches. Thus, the best weapons of each type, including assault rifles, differ from season to season.

Assault rifles are all-purpose weapons and are preferred by most players in the game, because they are effective in any in-game situation. This list will be covering the best assault rifles loadout in COD: Mobile Season 8, taking into consideration how efficient they are in ranked and in the meta. Additionally, it covers the best gunsmith attachments for each weapon, in order to help players to dominate their foes.
KN-44
The KN44 is an excellent and reliable assault rifle. It's effective and versatile, but falls behind when it comes to range. To compensate for that, the OWC Marksman attachment gives the KN44 that massive 35% damage range and also takes away 7.8% of the ADS Bullet Spread. Accompanied by the 38 Round Fast Reload magazine attachment and moderate fire rate, players can forgive missing a couple of shots, since they'll be proficient at long-range shoot-outs.
- Barrel: OWC Marksman
- Stock: No Stock
- Laser: OWC Laser - Tactical
- Underbarrel: Strike Foregrip
- Ammunition: 38 Round Fast Reload
Man-O-War
The Man-O-War has been a solid assault rifle in COD: Mobile since its release. With the ability to kill with just three shots, players are set to shred their enemies. The Man-O-War is extremely effective at long range and is good for passive players, but it has a slow ADS time so, the YKM Combat Stock and the OWC Laser-Tactical helps in reducing the time it takes to aim.
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Stock: YKM Combat Stock
- Laser: OWC Laser-Tactical
- Underbarrel: Strike Foregrip
- Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
LK24
The LK24 recently received a major buff, which makes it very effective in ranked matches. Players can cross-map enemies with this weapon due to the LK24's easy-to-control recoil pattern.

It has good damage, it's extremely accurate, and it's good for aim training. The Granulated Grip Tape attachment takes away 11.6% of the ADS Bullet Spread, while the Stock and Laser attachments reduces the time it takes to aim down the sights.

- Stock: No Stock
- Laser: OWC Laser-Tactical

CR-56 AMAX
This weapon is definitely one of the best assault rifles when it comes to medium and long-range combat. It is extremely efficient for holding angles and great for passive players. The M67 Ammo attachment increases the damage, thereby making the CR-56 AMAX a two-shot to kill weapon. It also increases the bullet penetration and damage range, while the OWC Laser-tactical and No Stock attachment helps with the ADS time.
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: MIP Custom Long
- Stock: No Stock
- Laser: OWC Laser-Tactical
- Ammunition: M67 Ammo
HVK-30
The HVK-30 is a fast-firing assault rifle with an excellent kill time. This weapon is versatile, has good mobility, and is easy to handle, which fits an aggressive playstyle. The MIP Light attachment reduces the ADS time and increases the movement speed of the HVK-30. The Large Calibar Ammo attachment is the most important of all attachments in this loadout because of the increased Body Damage Multiplier while other attachments help to reduce the ADS Bullet Spread of the gun.
- Barrel: MIP Light
- Stock: MIP Strike Stock
- Laser: OWC Laser-Tactical
- Ammunition: Large Calibar Ammo
- Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
PeaceKeeper MK2
The Peacekeeper is an SMG type of assault rifle that is easy to handle and maneuver with, making it great for aggressive players. The Aim Assist Laser attachment helps in reducing the ADS bullet spread. Since players will be rushing enemies with the Peacekeeper, the Agile Stock attachment will come in handy by reducing that Sprint-to-Fire delay and increasing the ADS movement speed by 40%, while the Rapid Fire Barrel significantly increases the damage.
- Barrel: Rapid Fire Barrel
- Stock: Agile Stock
- Laser: Aim Assist Laser
- Ammunition: Double Stack Mag
- Rear Grip: Firm Grip Tape
FR .556
The FR .556 is one of those weapons that is not commonly used, but it is very effective. This weapon shreds at midrange, and is decent at close range gunfights. The accuracy of this weapon for its first few shots is absolutely amazing — before the recoil messes things up.

The OWC Ranger and Monolithic Suppressor are both focused on increasing the range of this weapon. Meanwhile, the RTC Steady Stock and OWC Laser-Tactical help in reducing the ADS Bullet Spread and ADS Time.
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Barrel: OWC Ranger
- Stock: RTC Steady Stock
- Laser: OWC Laser-Tactical
- Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
AK117
The AK117 probably has the best Hip-fire for assault rifles in the game. Thanks to the recent buff it got, the gun is now very effective — like it was in the early days of COD: Mobile. The OWC Marksman attachment makes it easier to control the horizontal recoil and increase the Damage Range by 35 percent. Meanwhile, since the AK117 fires so fast, the 40 Round Extended Mag helps players to avoid running out of bullets in the middle of a gunfight.
- Barrel: OWC Marksman
- Stock: No Stock
- Laser: OWC Laser-Tactical
- Underbarrel: Strike Foregrip
- Ammunition: 40 Round Extended Mag
DR-H
The DR-H is an absolute solid assault rifle, and the three-shots-killing ability gives it an advantage over most of the ARs in the game. The Monolithic Suppressor gives the DR-H that extra 25% Damage Range, and enables silents shots to hide its user on the minimap. The 30 Round OTM Mag gives extra bullets and multiplies the Body Part Damage. Finally the Stippled Grip Tape and the OWC Laser-Tactical reduces the ADS Time, Sprint-to-Fire Delay, and ADS bullet Spread.
- Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
- Laser: OWC Laser-Tactical
- Underbarrel: Strike Foregrip
- Ammunition: 30 Round OTM Mag
- Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape
AS VAL
The AS VAL is currently the best AR in the game as it is very effective at close and medium range gunfights. It dispatches enemies in record time and has great mobility. The recoil of the AS VAL is a bit difficult to control, so the Strike Foregrip attachment takes care of that. The MIP 200mm Mid-Range barrel gives 20% Damage Range, and the extended mag provides extra 10 magazine capacity. Lastly, the Rear Grip and Laser attachments help with the ADS time and ADS Bullet Spread.
- Barrel: MIP 200mm Mid-Range barrel
- Laser: OWC Laser-Tactical
- Underbarrel: Strike Foregrip
- Ammunition: Large Extended Mag B
- Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
