Have you seen what one of those anti-materiel rifles can do to a deathclaw?Gun Runner guard

The anti-materiel rifle (GRA), officially the Hécate II[1] anti-materiel rifle, is a weapon added with the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Background[]

Utilizing an ergonomic, metallic skeleton design with a free-floating barrel, the .50 Hécate II is a bolt-action, high caliber precision weapon intended for use against materiel and hard targets. For balance, the rifle includes a tapered barrel and a large muzzle brake to reduce recoil to manageable levels. Unlike most rifles, the AMR was designed from the ground up to be used at long and extreme ranges: It lacks any kind of sights, featuring instead a mounting rail for high powered scopes and a forward bipod mount.[2]

The GRA variant is similar in design principle to that of a sniper rifle, delivering a high-powered shot at long distances with great accuracy. It is specially chambered with a larger caliber for hardened targets, and as such has extremely high damage and low weapons spread and is scoped with a magnification level of 3.13x. The damage benefits of the rifle are offset by the fact that it is bolt-action, greatly lowering the rate of fire and resulting in a low damage-per-second, and the weapon itself without modifications weighs in at 20 pounds, making it one of the heaviest shoulder-fired weapons in the game. The gun's recoil is extreme, causing each shot to push the player back a few inches.

The Gun Runners' Arsenal variant differs from the standard anti-materiel rifle, in that it was specially constructed by the Gun Runners to accept weapon modifications.

Durability[]

The anti-materiel rifle (GRA) can fire a total of about 470 standard rounds, the equivalent of 59 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Notes[]

  • This variant costs ten more Action Points to use in V.A.T.S. than the standard variant.
  • If the Trigger Discipline trait is taken, the rifle's custom bolt cancels out the decreased firing speed penalty.
  • Even when upgraded with the suppressor modification, the rifle is still not technically silenced. Missing a target will still sometimes alert enemies to the player's presence, unlike other rifles, such as Christine's CoS silencer rifle Old World Blues (add-on).
  • Utilizing the Heavyweight perk and the carbon fiber parts modification, this weapon's weight can be reduced to 6.5 pounds, making it one pound heavier than a varmint rifle, and two pounds lighter than a service rifle.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The anti-materiel rifle was influenced by the PGM Hécate II[3] and is named after it, due to Sawyer being sick of Barrett sniper rifles being featured in games.[4]
  • As displayed on the key art, the anti-materiel rifle had a different scope that is more in-line with its real-life counterpart.[1]
