- The Arsenal

The AUG A3 is the NX Standard variant of the AUG A1.

Overview
Despite having the similar stats as the AUG A1, the AUG A3 has less recoil and is debatably the fastest reloading Assault Rifle in the game. The added Rail System offers the option for the AUG A3 to adapt to any situation required. Despite having 3-Round Burst mode, many people don’t utilize this weapon for sniping because the strange recoil pattern can be difficult to handle for medium to long range shots. Though purchasing this weapon has been deterred by many players due to a more powerful GP rare variant, the AUG A1 Black. The AUG A1 Black, with a black coating, boasts a 2 point increase in its damage capabilities and a slight decrease in recoil level, making the AUG A3 somewhat inferior when competed up against its GP rare variant, as most players would obtain this weapon through Grey Hi-Sec cases. But to compensate for all its disadvantages against the AUG A1 Black, it has an even lower recoil level. Though players would prefer the AUG A3 due to its unique Rail System, allowing customization for any sight possible.
