Tactical Information

  • The Amendment is a versatile Marksman Rifle, able to hit enemies from afar with its semi-auto mode or deal massive damage up close with its burst mode.
    • Helldivers with a particularly good trigger finger can effectively utilize the Amendment as a sort of Assault Rifle that is locked to semi-automatic or burst fire due to its high potential DPS.
  • Much like the AR-61 Tenderizer, it deals very high damage per round but lacks piercing power.
    • Due to this weakness, a Secondary Weapon with better armor piercing capabilities such as the P-113 Verdict or the LAS-58 Talon is highly recommended.
      • If there is no other option, the bayonet on the tip of the Amendment can pierce Medium Armor.

Trivia

  • When you reload the R-2 Amendment in first-person, there is a large welding job visible on the magwell. This is noticeable compared to other weapons, where the weldings are much smaller, and more refined.
