The low recoil of the AK-12 means that, even at long range, you can be competitive. Facing enemies head on at medium range is the AK-12’s strength, so go towards and stay in the main combat areas. At close range due to the low fire rate you will be at a severe disadvantage, so changing position needs to be done carefully.
This means it is best suited for medium and long range engagements. The AK-12 assault rifle has high damage, good accuracy and range but a low fire rate.
