Although I’m good at getting headshots, I still usually use the Halo 4 AR in Infinity Slayer because close-range fits my style of play.
What secondary weapon, armor ability, grenades, tactical package, and support upgrade do you think works well with the Halo 4 AR?
Your fist or boot up someones -Yoink-.
Magnum seems best.
Magnum, DMR, Carbine, LR. The BR’s not that hard to use clause quarters, hence why I use a Storm Rifle or Suppressor with it.

Lol,
My Loadouts
DMR AR
BR AR
DMR BR
Carbine Plasma P.
LR AR
To be honest, the AR feels like a secondary weapon because you can’t dish out that much power with range, so it’s almost never a primary for me.

Very true.
I’m a pretty skilled AR user and am an expert at staying alive while racking up kills, though obviously not having as much kills I could have while dying.
I usually get a couple of kills before I die, so I always trade out my Magnum for a BR or DMR whenever I take one of it’s wielders down. This only happens in Infinity Slayer though, as it is very hard to look for available precision weapons on the battlefield and take enemies down with an AR in Big Team maps.
If you’re a close range player, go with the charged Boltshot.

I agree. I have never used the AR as a primary weapon. Majority of the maps cater to ranged conflict. I feel like skeet when i roll AR as primary on most maps. If i feel “saucy” i might use it as a secondary.
Though it almost never gets used in this capacity, the boltshot is an excellent cleanup weapon when it comes to headshots. It definitely comes in handy if you just run out of Ammo and there’s a weak target in front of you. The shots are hitscan and it can be fired rapidly. It’s a shame that its primary fire is so weak. It’s like someone dug up the post update h2 magnum and thought modified dual maulers slapped on it was boss. It is, but too much so

Magnum, probably.
In terms of upgrades/packages, mobility, grenadier, resupply and explosives are a;; excellent choices. Grenades are extremely important with automatic weapons, and I have gotten several grenade kills with grenade perks. They compliment the AR nicely.
Mostly the Magnum but I use the BR to compensate for long range.
My Classic Loadout
Assault Rifle
Battle Rifle
Regeneration field
Firepower
Dexterity
Try it with the extra grenades and explosions. I use frags with this set up
If you use firepower, BR/Carbine. Without it definitely use a magnum.
When I use the Assault Rifle I usually have the Thruster Pack with Shielding and Dexterity and the Magnum as my Secondary. This combination is great as you can: get to cover faster, easily avoid boltshots, get your shields back faster, reload quickly to keep putting lead down range, defend yourself effectively at midrange. This is by far the most effective loadout for the Assault Rifle in my opinion and I use it on a regular basis.
Also, learn to burst fire at anything beyond 10 metres. It is more effective and will save you from reloading before getting the kill.
haha use the dmr as secondary, use it to get kills and then when u find a boltshot on the map pick it up and use it instead of assault rifle…

So what you’re saying is your AR is complemented by dropping it on the floor for something else?
Mobility and/or a Thruster Pack are always useful for closing the gap on opponents. Now, I don’t use the AR much, though I did well in FFA with a class that was something like AR/Mag/PG/Camo/Mobility/something else I can’t remember. That being said, YMMV.
For maps like Haven, you can use AR and then easily pick up a DMR/BR off dead bodies in the map. For larger maps, its harder to encounter a weapon before it despawns, so its better to take firepower and get mid-long rifle instead.
Like the OP, my gamestyle is well suited for the AR and I prefer close to mid-range combat.
Loadout:
AR
Magnum
Frag Grenades
Thruster Pack
Resupply
Explosives
While there are a lot of scenarios when it doesn’t become effective, it simply has just become my most reliable loadout and has given me the best results. I even prefer it on BTB maps with just a tweak of exchanging the magnum for a Plasma Pistol. A bit noobish in intent but effective.
