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 is commonly found after level 14.

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 often use them as their primary weapon. A source of Ranger Vets is Ranger Station Delta, southwest of Hoover Dam. Confirmed.
 * Knight Torres will occasionally have one for sale inside the Hidden Valley BoS bunker once you have clearance from Elder McNamara to purchase lesser equipment.
 * During the battle of Hoover Dam, many of Caesar's Legion use anti-materiel rifles.

Appearances

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