The Elite Assault Rifle (EAR)is a semi-exclusive[1] weapon; posed predominantly in bundles.
Strategy[]
Though exclusive, this Assault Rifle is anything but of elite status in the modern day. While its stats would imply it to be an above-balanced weapon, it actually fits right in with most weapons; having decent damage, agility, range - a great rate of fire, magazine size, and accuracy. Against moderate builds though and this weapon renders its exclusivity to be fruitless.
Although its range is above average for a fast-firing weapon, it will dip from long reaches quite drastically, be sure that most situations are Run And Gun, as this is where this bullpup works best. Avoid getting to comfortable with Handguns, Shotguns, and Launchers.

Trivia[]
- The gun is in obvious resemblance of the FN Herstal P90; although its externals consist of a pistol grip, an under-barrel magazine, and a vertical front grip.
- The more noticeable abnormality however, is the fact that the original variant reloads by way of inserting its magazine 90° rather than from below. More importantly though, the in-game version features this, but only cosmetically, while its real magazine is reloaded from below.
- It holds as many rounds as its literal version.
- Similar to the Stake Launcher in regards to monetary mishaps, this Assault Rifle has had its fair share of $ & Bundle swaps. First it would sell in the Fan's Choice Weapons Pack as a bonus for buying the pack, then during the Urban Update it became elusive to the Urban Ops Pack for awhile, until the bundle also became exclusive as well - to the Professional. During the Hero Rift Update and from then on, the Urban Ops would be obtainable for purchase again.
- This weapon recycles the sfx from the Guitar Machine Gun, but in a unique way, as rather than fully using it, it gets rid of the second shooting sfx that plays after every other shot in the gun.
- This is the first weapon to have what's been dubbed, "Constant-Attribute Weapons", which are weapons with 3 bars in all categories.
- Interesting fact - if you change your player name to P90, you will notice something odd. Though it stays P90 for YOUR screen, all other players in the match results screen, friends menu, and invites will see you named as ELITE ASSAULT RIFLE.
- It's believed this glitch was actually intentional, as no update has ever fixed this.
