Best AR57 Build for Delta Force
AR57 was added on Apr 21, 2026: a 5.7x28mm assault rifle with a top-mounted 50-round magazine and up to 900 RPM. The first 10 rounds are easy to control, but armor damage is low, so it shines up close against lighter gear. It is S tier in both S11 Operations and Warfare lists, though its value grade slipped to B in October. Limited 5.7x28 HT/HT+ blunt rounds (1.2x base damage, 0.2x armor damage) are available Oct 10–16.

Yes — S tier in both Operations and Warfare in S11 lists. It has a high fire rate, a 50-round mag and an easy first 10 rounds, but low armor damage. Its value grade dropped from A to B in October.
Operations: AR-57 Wave Blaster Ultra-Long Barrel, Resonant Ergonomic Grip, Hornet Handguard Panel, Resonant 2 Integral Stock and a Combat Red Dot Sight. Warfare: the same plus a Sandstorm Vertical Compensator. Since S10 the VMX Frameless Sight also fits the AR57.
From Oct 10 to Oct 16 you can buy limited 5.7x28 HT (penetration 3) and HT+ (penetration 4) blunt rounds: 1.2x base damage but only 0.2x armor damage, so they work best against lightly armored targets. They are sold on the Auction House or found in ammo crates.
No stat changes. Season 10 let the VMX Frameless Sight fit the AR57 and fixed a visual effect on the Nightingale Suppressed Integral Barrel.
