The MXR-17 sits in the Good tier on our meta tier list and earns that spot with 780m/s bullet velocity and a flexible damage profile that keeps it competitive from close quarters out to mid-range. Below are three purpose-built loadouts, damage numbers, and the reasoning behind every attachment.

MXR-17 at a Glance
| Stat | Value | |---|---| | Fire Rate | 500 RPM | | ADS Time | 240ms | | Bullet Velocity | 780 m/s | | Magazine Size | 25 | | TTK (Close) | 480ms | | TTK (Long) | 720ms |
The 780m/s bullet velocity is a standout strength — it makes leading targets at range far more forgiving than most ARs in the class. The trade-off is a modest 25-round default magazine and a TTK that climbs sharply once you push past the second damage range.
Damage Profile Breakdown
| Range | Head | Chest/Stomach | Legs | |---|---|---|---| | 0–33m | 39 | 33 | 33 | | 33–52m | 37 | 31 | 31 | | 52m+ | 28 | 24 | 24 |
Within 33 meters, chest shots deal 33 damage — meaning you need 8 shots to break a 250 HP plate set (264 total). At 500 RPM that's the listed 480ms TTK. Between 33m and 52m, damage drops to 31 per chest hit (9 shots, ~600ms theoretical TTK at best). Beyond 52m, the 24-damage body shots push that to 11 shots and the 720ms long-range TTK. Staying inside 52 meters is where this gun performs best.
Build 1: Long Range
Designed to maximize the MXR-17's natural bullet velocity advantage and extend its effective range.
| Slot | Attachment | |---|---| | Optic | Fang HoverPoint Elo | | Muzzle | Monolithic Suppressor | | Barrel | 17" Greaves Scourge Barrel | | Magazine | Rhodes Drum Mag | | Stock | Winch Stock |
Share Code: A03-36W2S-J343H-11
Why this works: The Monolithic Suppressor keeps you off the minimap while adding range. The 17" Greaves Scourge Barrel pushes bullet velocity and effective damage range further, and the Rhodes Drum Mag solves the 25-round base magazine issue — critical when you're fighting at distance and need more shots to finish kills. The Winch Stock adds stability for sustained fire. The Fang HoverPoint Elo gives a clean sight picture for those longer engagements without excessive zoom.
This is the build to pair with an SMG secondary.
Build 2: Rush
Stripped for speed and close-to-mid-range aggression.
| Slot | Attachment | |---|---| | Muzzle | Redwell-90 Compensator | | Underbarrel | Lateral Precision Grip | | Rear Grip | Virgil-XI Grip | | Stock | Winch Stock | | Fire Mods | Recoil Sync Unit |
Share Code: A03-6R2ZL-HQ51
Why this works: No optic — you're fighting within that first 33m damage range where iron sights are fine and the 480ms TTK is at its fastest. The Redwell-90 Compensator and Recoil Sync Unit work together to tighten the recoil pattern during rapid engagements. The Virgil-XI Grip and Lateral Precision Grip help with handling and accuracy while moving. The Winch Stock appears again because it provides stability without tanking your mobility.
Note: you're stuck with the 25-round magazine here. Be deliberate with your shots and reload behind cover.
Build 3: Support
A team-oriented build that balances ammo capacity with controllability for sustained fire.
| Slot | Attachment | |---|---| | Muzzle | Redwell-90 Compensator | | Magazine | Vault Extended Mag | | Rear Grip | Fissure Grip | | Stock | Greaves Covenant Stock | | Fire Mods | Recoil Sync Unit |
Share Code: A03-FVC7J-U51
Why this works: The Vault Extended Mag gives you the extra rounds to suppress and finish multiple targets without reloading. The Greaves Covenant Stock replaces the Winch Stock from the other builds — it trades slightly different stability characteristics that pair well with the Fissure Grip for a more planted, supportive playstyle. The Redwell-90 Compensator and Recoil Sync Unit again handle recoil control.
This build suits players who hold angles, cover teammates pushing, and need to engage back-to-back fights without constant reloads.
How Does It Compare?
The MXR-17 competes directly with other Good-tier ARs like the ABR A1 and AK-74, and sits just below the Very Good-tier AK-27. If you're choosing between the MXR-17 and the ABR A1, the MXR-17's 780m/s bullet velocity tends to give it an edge at range — you can compare with ABR A1 for a full side-by-side breakdown.

Very Good
The AK-27 sits a tier higher and is worth considering if raw TTK is your priority. But the MXR-17's bullet velocity and versatility across all three builds make it a reliable choice, especially for players who value shot consistency over peak damage output.
Final Verdict
The MXR-17 is a solid all-range AR that rewards players who stay within its 0–52m sweet spot. The 780m/s bullet velocity makes it forgiving at distance, and the three builds above cover every common Warzone scenario.
