The CAR-4 is a primary weapon in PAYDAY 3 and is one of the two starting weapons all players begin with, the other being the Signature 40 pistol.

Overview[]

The CAR-4, for a starter weapon, holds up surprisingly decently even as better options (such as the VF-7S and the Adelig RG5) become available. Like its description states, it's quite literally the "everyman's rifle".

Having stable recoil, stability, accuracy and a great ammo pickup rate, the CAR-4 is an all-rounded starting rifle that holds itself up even in Overkill difficulty games, with some attachments improving the handling of the rifle much better. Despite being decent and viable even as a starter weapon, its armor penetration falls just below 1 compared to other weapons (needing Cutting Shot to reach 1.02 armor penetration), making the CAR-4 have difficulties dealing with Heavy SWAT or Shield units.

Summary[]

Pros:

  • Versatile
  • Good starter weapon
  • All-rounder stat

Cons:

  • Unimpressive range
  • Slightly low armor penetration stat

Trivia[]

  • The CAR-4 is based on the Colt LE6920.
    • Despite the CAR-4 more closely resembling the LE6920, audio files still refer to it as the M4A1.
  • All presets for the CAR-4 are based off of different weapon models.
    • The shortened barrel on the "Monument" classifies it as a Colt Mk 18.
    • The "Old Faithful" uses a Colt SP1 lower receiver and a Colt 609/XM177E1 upper receiver.
    • A majority of the "Queen's Revenge" uses many attachments from the British Army's configuration of the Knight's Armament Company (KAC) L403A1, like the sight, suppressor, and handguard. The lower receiver is also modeled after the KAC KS-1.
  • Unlike PAYDAY: The Heist and PAYDAY 2, which featured the AMCAR rifle as the starter weapon, PAYDAY 3 instead has the CAR-4 be the starting weapon.
  • The A.I. teammates have exclusive attachments, like a Geissele URG-I upper receiver and Magpul PMAG. The SWAT team uses the same configurations, along with more exclusive attachments like an EOTech XPS2 sight and PEQ-15 laser and light.
  • Despite the "Extended Mag" mod being modeled after the SureFire 60 Round Magazine, it only holds 45 rounds.
