Arpeggio
The Arpeggio is a medium-ammo, three-round-burst assault rifle added in the Riven Tides update. It is a serviceable B-tier mid-tier option: a clean burst can down a target with two chest hits plus a headshot, making it a solid early-to-mid progression pickup rather than a meta staple.

Mid-range burst rifle
Full guide →Tap bursts at medium range and stack a compensator + medium mag for consistent follow-ups.
Best Attachments
- Compensator II/III — Keeps the burst grouped for that two-body-plus-head kill.
- Extended Medium Mag — More bursts before reloading in extended fights.
Strengths
- +A tight burst can kill in one trigger pull (2 chest + 1 head).
- +Medium ammo is cheap and plentiful.
- +Good accuracy for a mid-tier rifle.
Weaknesses
- −Burst cadence is punishing if you miss the opener.
- −Outclassed by top-tier ARs and battle rifles in the current meta.
- −Weak armor penetration versus heavy ARC.
Why This Tier
Moderate on the Overall axis — dependable damage but no armor-pen edge, so it rounds out mid progression rather than defining the meta.
