At a Glance
The F2000 is the bullpup assault rifle in The Division 2 and one of the highest fire rate ARs in the base pool. Firing at 750 RPM with a thirty-round magazine and a 50k base damage value, the F2000 produces about 7% higher sustained DPS than the Police Mk16 at the cost of a slightly lower headshot multiplier. The bullpup form factor gives it a tighter recoil profile than the standard ARs, which makes it more controllable on consoles than the AUG or the P416.
In TU22.1 the F2000 sits in the upper-middle tier of assault rifles. It does not produce the meta sustained DPS of an Eagle Bearer or the burst potential of a Carbine 7, but its 750 RPM trigger and tighter recoil profile combine into a weapon that handles sustained engagements better than most base ARs.
The F2000 is the assault rifle for agents who want raw fire rate without giving up controllability. It is faster than the Police Mk16, more accurate than a P416, and more forgiving on consoles than an AUG.
Stats
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Base Damage | 50,000 |
| Rounds Per Minute | 750 |
| Magazine | 30 |
| Reload Time | 2.0 s |
| Headshot Multiplier | x1.55 |
| Optimal Range | 25–55 m |
| Damage Falloff Start | 45 m |
| Damage Falloff End | 75 m |
The 50k base damage is identical to the Police Mk16 but the 750 RPM trigger produces about 625k damage per second of sustained fire before any build buffs apply. That figure is the highest of any base AR and beats the Police Mk16 by roughly 7%.
The thirty-round magazine produces about 2.4 seconds of sustained fire before reload. The 2.0-second reload is the fastest in the AR family.
Headshot multiplier of x1.55 is slightly lower than the Police Mk16's x1.65 and the difference matters on dedicated headshot builds. Body-shot DPS, however, is the highest of any base AR.
Talent
The F2000 rolls from the base assault rifle talent pool. Best-in-slot picks are:
- Optimist — weapon damage increases by 1% for every missing round in the magazine.
- Pummel — kills refresh the magazine and grant +20% weapon damage for 10 seconds.
- Killer — critical hit kills grant +50% critical hit damage for 30 seconds.
Optimist is the meta talent for the F2000 because the 750 RPM trigger drains the magazine quickly and the damage stacks build faster than on slower ARs. Pummel is a respectable alternative for magazine-refresh builds. Killer is the niche pick for crit-focused builds.
Top Builds
Striker F2000
Six-piece Striker with the F2000 is one of the strongest solo Heroic AR builds. Striker stacks build per hit and the 750 RPM trigger produces stacks faster than the Police Mk16. The thirty-round magazine means stacks survive between targets and the F2000's high sustained DPS produces consistent kills before stacks decay.
Heartbreaker F2000
Heartbreaker scales weapon damage with hits taken while ammo is in the magazine. The F2000's 750 RPM trigger and thirty-round magazine combine into a Heartbreaker package that produces the highest sustained damage of any base AR. Pair with Picaro's Holster and Fox's Prayer for the standard talent stack.
Hard Wired F2000
Hard Wired four-piece grants skill-related buffs that pair cleanly with the F2000's role as a primary on a hybrid skill-and-AR build. The F2000's high fire rate and thirty-round magazine mean you can spike damage on a single target while your skills handle crowd control. This is the build for agents who want to play a more skill-focused role with a strong primary.
PvE-PvP
In PvE the F2000 is the highest-DPS base AR in the game. It does not produce the meta sustained DPS of an Eagle Bearer or the burst of a Carbine 7, but it outperforms every other base AR on raw damage output. Heroic patrols, named bosses, and Hunter HVTs all melt under a Striker or Heartbreaker F2000.
In PvP the F2000 is a respected pick for normalized Conflict and Dark Zone work. The 750 RPM trigger gives you the highest base AR fire rate and the bullpup form factor produces a tighter recoil profile than standard ARs. Aim for the upper chest. The x1.55 headshot multiplier is lower than the Police Mk16's so consistent body shots are more valuable than risky headshot attempts.

FAQ
Is the F2000 better than the Police Mk16? For sustained DPS, yes, by roughly 7%. For headshot scaling, no — the Police Mk16's x1.65 multiplier rewards accuracy more than the F2000's x1.55. Pick the F2000 for body-shot builds and the Police Mk16 for headshot builds.
What is the best talent for the F2000? Optimist for sustained-DPS builds, Pummel for magazine-refresh builds. Optimist is the meta pick on most six-piece builds because the F2000's high fire rate makes the damage scaling kick in faster than on slower ARs.
Can the F2000 one-shot reds on Heroic? On a clean headshot with a fully buffed Striker or Heartbreaker stack, yes, on weak reds. Standard reds require two or three headshots even on a top-tier build. Body shots will not one-shot anything on Heroic.
Is the F2000 viable in PvP? Yes, especially on consoles. The bullpup recoil profile is significantly more controllable than the AUG or P416, and the 750 RPM trigger overwhelms agents who try to disengage at close range.
Closing
The F2000 is the highest-DPS base assault rifle in The Division 2 and one of the most consistent pickups in the entire AR family. It does not produce the meta DPS of an Eagle Bearer and it does not have the burst potential of a Carbine 7, but its 750 RPM trigger and tight bullpup recoil profile combine into a weapon that outperforms every other base AR on sustained damage output.
In 2026 the F2000 sits in the upper-middle tier of assault rifles. It is the default pick for Striker, Heartbreaker, and Hard Wired builds that want maximum body-shot DPS without specializing into headshot scaling. If you have not given it a real run since the TU21 AR balance pass, it is worth pulling out of storage and rolling Optimist on it.
