Anti-Materiel Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

The anti-materiel rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The anti-materiel rifle is a bolt-action high caliber rifle using box magazines.

The rifle has a slow rate of fire resulting in a DPS of 55. Offsetting this low DPS is its high damage and very low spread. Even at high levels the rifle's high damage makes it possible to kill most enemies up to super mutants in a single round, without a sneak or critical bonus.

You'll need a strength of 8 (Or 6 with the Weapon Handling perk) and a guns skill of 100 while crouching to use this rifle with optimal performance. This weapon has no Weapon mods available and is commonly buyable from Gun Runners after level 15.

Locations

 * The anti-materiel rifle can be bought from any of the gun dealers found in the Mojave, specifically the Gun Runners
 * The Gun Runner's kiosk has several rifles on display, including an anti-materiel rifle. However, its sealed walls prevents the player from pilfering them, and they are not guaranteed to appear in the sales inventory. Note: The displays are fake models. If you can even get inside you cannot loot them (confirmed PC).
 * NCR Ranger Veterans when the player reach a medium-high level, they will use them as their primary weapon. A source of Ranger Vets is Ranger Station Delta, southwest of Hoover Dam. Confirmed.
 * During the battle of Hoover Dam, many of Caesar's Legion use anti-materiel rifles.
 * If given permission by Elder McNamara (playing through the Brotherhood of Steel quests), the AMR can be purchased from Knight Torres at the BoS Armory located inside their Hidden Valley bunker. Depending on your Barter skill level, it will cost you between 2000-3000 caps in decent condition.

Appearances

 * The anti-materiel rifle only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
