Anti-Materiel Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

The anti-materiel rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas. It is a rifle that was designed for use against military equipment (matériel) rather than against other combatants (anti-personnel).

Characteristics
The anti-materiel rifle is a bolt-action high caliber rifle using box magazines. You can fit it with a custom bolt to decrease the cycling time.

The rifle has a slow rate of fire resulting in a DPS of 54(at max "CND"). Off-setting this low DPS is its high damage and very low spread.

You'll need a strength of 8 and firearms of 100 to use this rifle with optimal performance. This weapon is commonly found after level 14.
