M4A1-S

The Mk 18 Close Quarters Battle Receiver (CQBR), known in-game as the M4A1-S, is a suppressed Assault Rifle added in the v0.6.0 "" update on September 7, 2018 that uses the 5.56mm Ammunition and can only be found in Golden Airdrops.

The M4A1-S has the second-highest DPS of any Assault Rifle or LMG in the game except for the M249. However, it is also more accurate than the M249, as well as being faster when moving and having a less lengthy reload.

Trivia

 * The M4A1-S‘s re-skin is based off of the Mk 18 Close-Quarters Battle Receiver, a shortened version of the M4A1.
 * The weapon is probably known as the M4A1-S in-game due to Justin's days of CS:GO. Interestingly, the "M4A4" that appears in CS:GO is also based on the Mk 18 and not an actual M4.
 * When held, the M4A1-S used to look like an Mk 12 SPR or a longer M416.
 * The M4A1-S was the second suppressed weapon added to the game, with the AWM-S being the first, however, unlike the AWM-S, the bullet trails are fainter, contributing greatly to the "suppressed" effect.
 * It is the second weapon with a special bullet fade, where the CZ-3A1 followed suite in the community update.
 * It used to have a reload speed of 4.1 seconds, which is as long as a LMG. This reload speed has been buffed to be 1 second shorter.
 * The gun world image sprite for the M4A1-S looks similar to the CZ-3A1 image.



Rarity
The M4A1-S is an extremely rare Assault Rifle that only spawns from Golden Airdrops, Hardstone Blocks and Hardstone Boulders. It is impossible to get from anything else except these crates.

Countering

 * Think the M4A1-S as a extremely powerful M416 or a little worse M249, so the countering is similar to them. To counter the M4A1-S, DO NOT go a long range fight with the M4A1 since the bullets are so faint you can barely see them. Rushing the M4A1 with a MP220 and or a Saiga-12 also helps since they have extremely high DPS and will kill your opponent before they do significant damage to you. Another counter is to have a spray n' pray weapon, and charge the opponent, also if you have a pan try to block the bullets and when they are reloading get them with a vector or other fast firing gun.
 * Try to use cover as much as you can, as the M4A1-S may be able to destroy it quickly, but it's reload time paired with its small magazine size can easily open a hole for rushing.

Pros

 * Supressed
 * High damage for an Assault Rifle
 * High fire rate
 * High DPS
 * Accurate
