Adrenaline is the best Assault skill. Maxed, it has 53.82% faster stats for 11 seconds, with a 25 second cool down that starts the moment you use it, it practically has a 14 second cooldown.

Whereas maxed Deadly Force gives a 25% boost to damage, maxed Adrenaline gives faster reload and movespeed on top of fire rate. That means defensively the player can activate it to escape mobs when they converge on him, or offensively if things are slow and there's a long stretch of road to move through, they can speed up and rush ahead of their teammates, shooting at fresh hordes sooner, with higher fire rate and reload, giving them a higher chance to activate Killing Spree.

Bullet costs doesn't matter, at high levels the money you make from nm games is enough to buy a surplus of ammo. Assaults usually switch to an augment reward build before switching again to a regular build anyway.

Deadly Force is a good skill, but there isn't any Assault skill compared to both the power and utility of Adrenaline.
