The Anti-Materiel Rifle (abbreviated as AMR) is a precision Support Weapon able to penetrate light vehicle armor. It is best used against hard targets such as Scout Striders and Hive Guards, due to its small magazine and low overall ammo combat load.

Tactical Information

  • The scope's zoom level can be toggled between 50m, 100m, and 200m by using the fire mode selector (hold Reload and scroll up).
  • Despite the description, this weapon does not need to be aimed down sights to fire, though when aiming without the scope, the game will not provide the usual reticle that other weapons offer.
    • Helldivers might want to use a dot at the center of their screen in order to more accurately fire the rifle without using a scope.
  • Helldivers can carry up to 6 reserve magazines for the AMR, each of which holds 7 rounds. Ammo pickups will restore 1 reserve mag, while Resupply boxes will restore 3.
  • Despite only having a 7-round magazine, this weapon will fire as fast as the trigger is pulled. This makes the AMR able to deal good damage to the weak spots of enemies, as long as Helldivers can handle the recoil.
  • Most small and medium enemies will die to a single shot from this weapon, especially if it's a headshot or hits a weak point. Larger enemies require more shots.
  • This weapon is poorly suited for Terminid missions at higher difficulties, where Bile Titans and Chargers will dominate the landscape. Accurate snipers will find it very effective against the Automatons, however.
  • Using this in conjunction with the Jump Pack is a good way to get high ground, and to get away from melee units or when you're about to be swarmed.
