Take your shots carefully and be conservative with ammo, these guys don't carry much of it. In order to compensate for the fact that they are often facing opponents with superior firepower, Assault Droids have more health than regular infantry droids.
While the Assault Droids' rocket launchers are primarily intended for the purpose of destroying enemy vehicles, they can also be used for disposing nearby enemies in one shot (or a few, if they are heroes), but the Blaster Pistol is a better option for that. Their primary weapons require very good aim, considering the shots they use are not very precise and their target is in many cases moving. The Assault Droid is the CIS unit built to counter tanks, turrets, and other objects/vehicles with large amounts of health.
