AUG A3
The Steyr AUG A3 is an assault rifle type weapon in BATTLEGROUNDS. It can only be found in Air Drops.
This weapon was introduced in the Test Server PC 1.0 update.
Summary
The AUG A3 (Armee-Universal-Gewehr—A3), an air drop-only weapon, and for good reason - its exceptional handling and high muzzle velocity make it a highly sought after weapon for anyone fortunate enough to come across a crate and get away with its contents alive. The AUG utilizes the same attachment points and even has the same ballistics as the SCAR-L[1], albeit with a higher muzzle velocity and slightly increased drag coefficient meaning that bullets fired from this gun will have a slightly more curved trajectory, canceled out by the fact that the bullets travel much faster compared to the SCAR-L. A major drawback of the AUG however is its relatively slow reload time, with a tactical reload alone having a duration of 3 seconds, thus a quickdraw magazine will be vital. Its rate of fire is also relatively slow, which allows for better stability but somewhat reduces its capability in close quarters combat.
When equipped with a compensator and foregrip, the AUG has slightly more overall stability compared to an equally equipped M416.
The AUG will deal maximum damage out to 70 meters. Damage starts to decrease past that point, with the maximum damage falloff at 482 meters.

Update history
- Rate of fire: 750 → 720
- Adjusted horizontal and vertical recoil.
Update #59 (Season 15 - Update 15.1)
The AUG seems to be overtaken by the P90 and even by the user's ability to control the Beryl, thus we are making it slightly more powerful to improve its Crate weapon status.
- Increased damage by 1
- Increased damage drop-off range to improve effective range
Update #31 (Season 4 - Update 4.1)
- Rebalanced AR's so none is the “objective” best—the power differential between each is now reduced, but each brings advantages to different situations.
- Restricted big scopes (8x and up) for use with all AR's.
- Slightly decreased the damage of the AUG.
- Decreased recoil recovery rate.
- Added new recoil animations.

Trivia
- While simply called AUG in-game, it is based on the Aug A3 with a custom lower rail as evident by the picatinny rail on top of the receiver and the bolt release latch just above and behind the magazine well.
- The AUG have a iron sight similar to M416.
