The ARN-220 is an automatic Assault Rifle available to the Light class. It is best suited for dealing sustained damage at medium to long ranges.
Usage
The ARN-220 can be selected as the Weapon for any Light build loadout.
The trigger can be held to continuously fire bullets that damage opponents and deal additional damage on headshots. Aiming down sights increases the weapon's accuracy, but moving decreases it, especially when airborne.
The weapon has two magazines used in sequence. When the first magazine is empty, the user automatically performs a shorter reload animation (Swap Mag) to switch to the second. The weapon automatically reloads when both magazines are empty, or the user can perform a tactical reload before this point. Both actions fully restore ammunition in both magazines. The user has unlimited spare ammunition.

Guide
Strengths
- The ARN-220's dual magazine system allows the user to quickly return to full combat effectiveness by quickly swapping to the second magazine instead of fully reloading. This also gives the ARN-220 60 effective bullets, the highest magazine count of any Light-class weapon.
- The ARN-220 possesses competitive damage falloff values, especially when compared to other Assault Rifles like the AKM, making it more effective at longer ranges. This enables the user to play further away from danger while still consistently dealing high damage to enemies.
Weaknesses
- The ARN-220 has weaker close-range capabilities when compared to other popular Light class weapons like the M11 or XP-54, having a worse hipfire accuracy.
- It also lacks high burst damage, like what can be found with the SH1900, outside of repeated headshots. It instead excels at sustained damage dealt at a slightly longer range.
Tactics
- The user should always fire the weapon while aiming down sights unless the target is in extremely close proximity. Doing so will heavily increase accuracy.
- The user should play around cover and prioritize their engagements based on their magazine status.
- With both magazines available, the user has more potential to be aggressive. Switching between magazines once the first is expended takes very little time, and as such can be done with only a very brief lapse in combat or with only a moment behind cover.
- If the user has almost emptied their first magazine, they can dump the rest to swap to the second magazine, giving the user access to more bullets faster than if they reloaded the whole magazine.
- However, reloading the whole magazine is still relatively quick, so players may do that even if they have access to the second magazine.
Recoil
The ARN-220 possesses consistent vertical recoil with mild horizontal variance. To control it:
- Continuously pull downwards and slightly to the right when beginning sustained fire.
- Once reaching approximately bullet fifteen, the recoil pattern straightens out for a brief moment. Pull directly downwards.
- The pattern then briefly pivots in the opposite direction once reaching approximately bullet twenty. Pull downwards and slightly to the left.
- Once reaching approximately bullet twenty-five, the pattern straightens once again until the magazine is empty.
Item Mastery

Trivia
- The ARN-220 is modeled after the closely-named Brownells BRN-180, albeit with some modifications in the form of the dual linked magazines, suppressor, and third party bolt release lever.
- As displayed on the magazine, this weapon fires .300 AAC Blackout, and the "220" in the name may refer to the grain most commonly used in this bullet for subsonic loads.
