It is a very common weapon in the campaign. It appears as the starting weapon in most levels, and appears in most Weapon Crates in the campaign.

Multiplayer
The XCAR-556 is unlocked at level 38. It can be unlocked early by paying with 40 Tokens.

It is a very well balanced assault rifle, with generally good all-around stats. It boasts a 3 shot kill ability, which is normal, but it has a rate of fire of 702 RPM, which is much higher than the other assault rifles unlocked before this rifle. It also has moderate recoil, not very high, but high enough to hamper performance at mid-long range. The Iron Sights are very clear, but optics can help. The ACOG Optic is a fine choice as it lowers recoil by 5%, which may not seem like a lot, but this bonus is one that is hard to turn down. The Holographic Sight, Target Spotter, and Hybrid Sights are also good choices. The Thermal Scope is not recommended as it reduces definition and is generally not suited to the weapon.

Armor Piercing Rounds are another good attachment choice, as the 5% extra Headshot damage can help, and also ignores Body Armor.

However, nothing comes without disadvantages. This weapon has an unusually large muzzle flash and it can obscure your target which can also get you killed. This gun is also very loud.

Despite the downsides, this gun can still be used effectively.
