Table of AUG Attachment Unlock Levels
The AUG is available right from the get go in the custom loadouts and has a weapon max level of 57. It is classified as an SMG, but lies somewhere between Assault Rifle and SMG. It’s an overall very good gun in its own rights, but it isn’t top tier when using it as an SMG, or an Assault Rifle.
For more loadouts than what is listed below, check out our AUG Top Class Setups Post. That post has a handful of loadouts to choose from including a Legendary AUG blueprint and a loadout if you are just starting out with the AUG.

Recoil Study
Suggested Loadouts
As for the Loadouts, we have several to choose from. We have a balanced SMG style rush loadout, as well as a stealth setup. Additionally, the AUG is unique in that it has a 5.56 NATO ammo that you can equip which changes the damage and range profiles of the weapon. If you visit our Recoil Control page, you will see that a compensator/commando foregrip setup on the AUG drastically improves the overall recoil of the gun.
Camoflauge Requirements
Spray Paint – 500 Kills
Woodland – 100 Headshot Kills
Digital – 110 Crouching Kills
Dragon – 100 Hipfire Kills
Splinter – 50 Longshot Kills
Topo – 50 Mounted Kills
Tiger – 250 Kills w/ 5 Attachments
Stripes – 40 Kills Shortly after Reload
Reptile – 75 Kills with 0 Attachments
Skulls – 25 Kill 3 Enemies w/o Dying
These Camo requirements will unlock the max camo in each pattern, and if you complete all 10 of the patterns you will unlock the AUG Gold Camo pattern. See our Camo unlocks page for more videos about each camo.
AUG Attachment Unlock Levels
Below you will find 2 sets of data. The first 2 columns have a listing, by attachment type as to when the attachment unlocks. The last 3 columns list all of the attachments in the natural unlock order. Keep in mind the Unlock level is the level of the weapon, which increases as you get kills with the weapon. This is not to be confused with your player level.

I’m confused how do the NATO rounds improve damage but make the TTK, range, and damage worse as the chart says?
Let me update the AUG page, I forgot I still had that infographic up, which is confusing. I thought I had them all taken down. The NATO rounds for the most part increase damage, all except up close to the Head, where the base rounds will win out.
I got the page updated now with some of the info from my Weapon Guide on YouTube. Hopefully this helps with your question. The NATO rounds do higher damage for the most part, depending on range and hit location, but you will see it comes at a major increase to your recoil, which makes it a lot harder to hit those shots at range.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks
