What is the best assault rifle in game and best modules? Aim assist or retriever?
Based off stats, the Grendel is the best. Not sure about the attatchments though. As for modules, it's all personal preference. I myself wouldn't use either of those for assault. I'd use Loadout Pro.

i use the scar with the reflex sight. using the grendel is too difficult in close range fights when you need to hip fire burst shooting is a disadvantage. i also use energy transfer max upgraded so that after every kill my energy is replenished. i use stealth enhance right now but any of the stealth modules are pretty helpful. i also use mobile endurance. you may not have access to any of these modules yet though since im already level 31:P

SCAR seems to be the best AR right off the bat (versus the GRENDEL anyway). Add a reflex sight if iron sight doesn't suit your fancy.

Modules of course are always preference based but from my experience with the game there are few i would suggest:

ARMOR:
Armor Enhance - Keep your armor up longer seems always good especially if you feel you more people are coming for you after a firefight.

STEALTH:
Covert Ops - Silenced footsteps for the Headset users

Blind Spot - not effected by Max radar *thumbs up

POWER:
Weapon Pro - Faster reloading and rewarded with faster ADS for upgrade later gets you back in the action faster.

Aim Enhance - less recoil for distance shots and upgrade gives you more mobility while ADS.


These seem to be the best starter modules and may carry one a long way. Just a suggestion though since this is a opinion based topic

SCAR seems to be the best rifle, spray and pray and since it have 0 recoil you'll kill quickly even at long range. Add a reflex if you wish but don't bother with the scope, spray 'n pray work better even at long range.
The Grendel has good stats but it's a burst fire weapon so you're at a big disavantage in CQB, SCAR is more versatile and can compare to it even at med/long range.
Havn't unlocked the SCARAB yet but I guess it will be between the SCAR and FELINE SMG.

For module I like the Armor enhancement since I mostly play Crash Site.
Then I usualy use Blind Spot and the Hip fire enhancement since the SCAR doesn't have any recoil you don't need the ironsight module.

scar is the best all around gun. (haven't tried scarab) The feline is pretty good but gets really inaccurate at distances and have to burst really well to be able to hit. The grendel is a beast when it comes to power 2 or 3 bursts and they die sometimes even 1. But you have to be pretty accurate with it and it struggles in close quarters combat but it can tear through ppl real fast at medium range i find.
