The '''AK-12''' is the default assault rifle for the [[Assault]] class. It is a fairly balanced weapon, having low-moderate recoil and decent fire rate. The AK-12 has slight tendency to drift left, which is helped by equipping the [[Compensator]] attachment, as it makes the recoil profile straighter upwards, at the cost of increased spread per shot. Its lower fire rate can maintain its controllable recoil but may be a hindrance in extreme close quarters combat, as it can be easily beaten out by some of the faster firing Assault Rifles and PDWs. Its default attachments are a [[Kobra]] optic, [[Laser Sight]], and [[Ergo Grip]]. The AK-12 unlocks Russian attachments, with US and Chinese attachments only attainable through Battlepacks.
