At a Glance
Custom P416 G3 is the named variant of the P416 assault rifle, a tuned-up version of the standard mid-tier AR. Base damage of 60,000 per bullet, 650 RPM cadence, 30-round magazine, fast 1.9-second reload, and a 1.55x headshot multiplier define a weapon built for sustained engagements with quick mag turnover. The Custom G3 ships with a locked named talent and tighter stat profile compared to the standard P416, slotting neatly between volume ARs like F2000 and precision ARs like AK-M.
- Who this is for. Players who want a balanced AR with a fast reload, predictable recoil, and a guaranteed talent that does not require farming dozens of duplicates.
- Reload-friendly mid-tier. The 1.9-second reload is the quickest in the AR class for this damage tier, which means you spend less time out of fire and more time on target.
- Acquisition. Drops from Black Tusk and True Sons activities, with elevated rates from Manning National Zoo and Roosevelt Island missions on Heroic. Targeted Loot rotation includes it on a roughly 6-week cycle.
- Best fit: Strikers Battlegear, Hunter's Fury aggressive setups, In Sync chest builds, generalist Heroic loadouts.

Intrinsic Attributes (random roll)
The intrinsic on Custom P416 G3 rolls weapon damage and a secondary like CHD, HSD, or damage to elites. God-roll farming aims for 14-15% on the primary and 12-13% on the secondary. The fast reload means reload-speed mods are typically wasted on this gun — players push that mod budget into damage instead.
Named Talent Slot (Locked)
Custom P416 G3 ships with a fixed named talent. The trade is the same as every premium variant — you give up flexibility, you get a guaranteed roll without farming a stack of duplicates.
Built-in Mods
Standard AR mod slots — optic (4x default), magazine, underbarrel, muzzle. The 1.9-second reload is already best-in-class for the damage tier, so reload-speed mods compete poorly with damage mods. Magazine and CHD mods are the typical first picks.
Weapon Talent: Custom G3 (Named)
"Custom G3" — Quick reloads grant a damage and handling bonus that lasts for the next mag. Stacks with most weapon-damage talents on the loadout.
The named talent rewards the gun's strongest stat — fast reload. Empty the mag, hit reload, and the next mag carries a damage bonus that scales with how much of the previous mag you fired. It is essentially a mag-cycling talent built for a gun that already reloads faster than its peers.
In practice, Custom P416 G3 plays like a "burn and reload" AR. Empty the mag into a target, swap to the next mag at full bonus damage, repeat. The 650 RPM is fast enough to clear the mag quickly without overcommitting, and the 1.9-second reload means the bonus uptime is high.
Practical numbers from a verified Strikers + Vigilance + Memento setup:
- Body shot, no bonus: ~63,000 per bullet
- Body crit, post-reload bonus + Vigilance + Memento: ~290,000 per bullet
- Headshot crit at full stack: ~470,000 per bullet
- Sustained DPS across mag cycles: ~2.9M
The locked talent means Custom P416 G3 cannot run Optimist or Boomerang. The named talent is the trade.
Top Builds
Custom P416 G3 × Strikers Battlegear
The flagship sustain build. Strikers stacks weapon damage on hits, the named talent's reload bonus layers on top, and the 1.9-second reload keeps the stack engine running. Strong in extended Heroic engagements where you mag-cycle.
Custom P416 G3 × Hunter's Fury × Memento
The aggressive build. Hunter's Fury rewards proximity damage, Memento adds trophy stacks, and the named talent's reload bonus turns each mag swap into a damage spike. Strong in tight Heroic rooms.
Custom P416 G3 × In Sync × Heartbreaker
The skill-DPS hybrid build. In Sync converts weapon crits to skill damage, Heartbreaker rebuilds armor through sustained fire, and the 650 RPM puts crits out fast enough to keep In Sync's bonus active. Strong in mixed-DPS group comps.
PvE vs PvP
In PvE, Custom P416 G3 is the AR for players who like to mag-cycle. The 650 RPM is fast enough to empty the mag quickly into a yellow elite, the 1.9-second reload puts you back on target before the bonus drops, and the named talent rewards the reload pattern that the gun already encourages. The 35m optimal range covers most engagement distances in raid and Summit. Where it falls off is the longest sightlines — for those, AK-M or Mantis is the better pick.
The 30-round mag burns through in about 2.8 seconds at 650 RPM, which means 2-3 mag cycles per Heroic engagement is a typical pattern. The reload-bonus uptime is high enough that the named talent is essentially always active.
In PvP, Custom P416 G3 is a strong medium-range AR. The 60K base damage two-taps squishy DZ targets, the fast reload means you do not get caught with an empty mag, and the 1.55x HS multiplier is class-average. Most ranked players treat Custom P416 G3 as a reliable workhorse rather than a build-defining pick.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons | | — | — | | 1.9s reload is fastest in AR class for tier | 1.55x HS multiplier is class-average | | Named talent rewards mag-cycling pattern | Locked talent removes flexibility | | 60K base damage is competitive | 35m optimal range shorter than precision ARs | | Layers cleanly with Strikers | Per-bullet ceiling lower than premium variants | | Reliable across raid, open world, Summit | Lower burst potential than swap-talent ARs |
Comparison
Versus standard P416, the Custom G3 trades the open talent slot for the locked named and slightly tighter stats. The standard P416 with a god-roll Optimist remains competitive in long-fight scenarios.
Versus ACR-E, Custom P416 G3 has the faster reload and slightly different talent profile. ACR-E rewards crit-heavy ramp, Custom P416 G3 rewards mag-cycle bonus. Both are excellent generalists.
Versus Police M4, Custom P416 G3 has the slower RPM but the faster reload. Different priorities — Police M4 maximizes sustained fire, Custom P416 G3 maximizes mag-cycle bonus.
FAQ
Is Custom P416 G3 worth chasing in TU22.1? Yes for mag-cycle build patterns. The named talent's reload bonus is unique and remains uncontested in its niche.
Custom P416 G3 or ACR-E? ACR-E for the higher HS multiplier and crit-ramp talent, Custom P416 G3 for the faster reload and mag-cycle talent. Different builds.
Where does Custom P416 G3 drop? Black Tusk and True Sons activities, Manning National Zoo and Roosevelt Island Heroic missions, and Targeted Loot rotation every ~6 weeks.
Does the named talent stack with Strikers? Yes. The reload bonus and Strikers stacks are separate damage multipliers and layer cleanly.
Should I roll reload-speed on the gear? Marginal. The gun already reloads fast — most players push gear stats into damage and CHD instead.
Closing
Custom P416 G3 is the mag-cycle AR. The 60K base damage, 650 RPM cadence, and 1.9-second reload give it the fastest mag-turnover in the damage tier, and the named talent's reload bonus rewards the cycling pattern that the gun already encourages. Pair it with Strikers Battlegear for the cleanest sustained-DPS rotation in the AR class, and use it in any engagement where reload uptime matters more than per-bullet ceiling.
