The ARX-160 is what I like to think of as the gap between the assault rifles and the sub machine guns. A deadly weapon at close range but also useful for longer ranges too. My ARX set-up is extremely similar to the honey badger set-up mentioned in the first Custom Class guide. For some of the smaller maps this gun is extremely useful.

The attachments from the honey badger stick. Extended mags are a must for this gun as the short range uses of this gun tend to use a lot of ammo especially for longer killstreaks. The fore grip is also extremely useful for this weapon as it adds a longer range capability to the gun.



The perks are very similar as the honey badger and SC-2010 classes but with one change:

The first perk I use is ready up, this perk is extremely useful if you are using the honey badger on smaller maps where other players will be using sub-machine guns and shotguns. You need as much help as possible to get the gun up and ready to take on the quicker classes.

The next perk is resilience, pretty straight forward, you don’t take any damage from falling. As it only uses one point I feel this is a very useful perk to have.

Next I use focus. The fore grip helped with the long range accuracy of this gun but the honey badger still tends to kick a little at long range. To maintain less weapon sway use this perk and as an added bonus you have reduced flinch when hit meaning that if you and an opponent open fire at the same time his gun will be hit with recoil and you won’t be.

The next perk is fully loaded, this is also straight forward. You start with a huge amount of ammo to keep you going even on the highest kill streaks.

The next two perks are more of personal preference.

I like to use amplify on all of my classes, if you have a gaming headset or any kind of headphones you will see why, put on amplify and you can hear opponents footsteps from far away, giving you a warning and the upper hand.

The final perk is the one which I have changed from the honey badger and SC-2010 classes, however it can still be applied. Dead silence is an extremely useful perk, not only if you don’t want to hear your own footsteps but if you don’t want other to use yours. One of the best perks available.

If you didn’t want to use these perks I would recommend marathon and sleight of hand instead.
