The weapon is balanced compared to other Assault Rifles by having an above average reload time when empty. Controlled bursts at longer ranges are recommended to help maintain accuracy. This weapon is also suited well for mid-range engagements, due to its easy to control recoil pattern. Having a fire rate of 770 RPM, it is capable of effectively competing in close quarters. This weapon is arguably one of the most versatile assault rifles in the game, and along with its little brother, the ACE 21 CQB, easily one of the most popular. The ACE 23 is available to the Assault kit upon completing the Assault Expert gold tier assignment. The ACE 23 is an Assault rifle featured in Battlefield 4.
