AUG


 * For similarly named weapons, see AUG A3 and AUG HBAR.

The AUG is an assault rifle in Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Singleplayer
The AUG is used by Hudson most of the members of Studies and Observations Group in the level "WMD." It is equipped with a Suppressor and a Swarovski Scope, and has Yukon camouflage applied.

Multiplayer
The AUG is an assault rifle with a high rate of fire and low to moderate recoil. Its recoil can become problematic especially when shooting at long range, as the gun randomly jumps, making follow up shots difficult. It excels in short to medium range, especially when equipped with optics. It can be purchased at level 26. Similar to some other weapons, the AUG can be fitted with its signature, default Swarovski Scope by purchasing the ACOG attachment.

Attachments

 * Grenade Launcher
 * Flamethrower

Zombies
This weapon is available in the Levels "Five" and Kino der Toten through the Mystery Box. It is seen with the Swarovski Scope. Pack-a-Punching it will add a underbarrel Masterkey and becomes the AUG 5OM3.

Trivia

 * Treyarch has explained that SOG is able to use this gun before its mass production in 1977 because the group's operation's status gives them access to prototype weaponry.
 * In the E3 demo, instead of holding onto the foregrip or the handguard, the player character seemed to hold onto the trigger guard. In a more recent demo of this mission at Gamescom, the player was holding onto the foregrip.
 * The AUG's Pack-A-Punched name "AUG 50M3" is a play on the word awesome.
 * In the Wager trailer (2:13) the Swarovski scope has changed. It doesn't have a circle but a full dot.
 * The Create-A-Class image for the AUG shows the weapon with a dark tan finish, while in-game it has the original green finish.
 * When the Swarovski Scope is attached to the AUG, the rails are removed. This is the only attachment that actually removes the tactical rails when added to the AUG.
 * Originally, the AUG had a unique reload animation, but it has been changed to the reload animation of the AUG HBAR from Modern Warfare 2.
 * Black Ops allows players to use the Swarovski Scope in multiplayer; a first for the Call of Duty series.
 * The AUG always has a grip in multiplayer unless an underbarrel attachment is chosen.
 * The AUG in the campaign has no camouflage applied to the scope while in multiplayer any camo applied to the AUG fully covers the entire weapon.
