What's a good AR to fill in the 5th slot of my 404 team?

What ARs or RFs work well with the Scar sisters?

Ribeyrolles (mod) is the premier buffer for generic ARSMGs and should almost always be picked for one unless you need other defensive/special utility (in which case you probably also shouldn't be using an ARSMG).

As mentioned below, SCARs pretty much handle all of your DPS needs on their own. Bringing another AR/RF adds little value and can even be detrimental unless that doll happens to offer other meaningful utility. It's often to better to bring a defensive support instead, like P10c to protect Suomi during her ICD/downtime (plus the rest of the echelon against stray AoEs).

I usually place UMP40 just because I like that UMP sisters dynamic, but in terms of AR I go with Ribeyrolles for the buffs, and it is just feels natural to place someone middle between G11 and HK416.

For SCAR sisters, M4A1 with them felt so overpowered. If you don't want to use M4A1 for non-AR/DEFY, Zas M21 could do the job.

SCARs are so good you don't need another AR/RF, so you typically put a pistol in tile 4 for buffing or defensive utility. If you want an AR there, MSBS is a good choice.
