The anti material rifle has massive damage if you hit the right spot, usually the head. Its main use is to destroy medium to medium-heavy armor types as well as chargers if you bring stun grenades. Both orange and green spewers (medium heavy armor), it only takes 1 headshot to the brain. Auto cannon takes 2-3 shots to do this, has a 10 round clip that forces you to stay in place to reload, AMR can reload while moving. Grenade launcher is also 2-3 shots. AMR is on exceptional for medium to medium-heavy armor types. For chargers, with the stun grenade holding the charger in place, it takes 7-8 AMR shots to the orange butt to blow it up and make the charger bleed to death, which also prevents its charge. AMR does average damage against bile titans if you hit the green underbelly parts, but it does not beat the rail gun with the bile titans. You will need extra strategems for that. My build is AMR, energy shield, orbital railcannon, eagle cluster bombs, breaker spray pray, redeemer, stun grenade.

The APW sniper needs more armor piercing damage at the moment. Against the tank bugs its useless until someone knocks off some armor and while you can wait for a tail shot, at 7+ you start running into too many tanks.

Agree. At the same time, it is still worth noting that in reality, anti-material sniper rifles only work against light vehicles - the same tank armor cannot be penetrated by them. (naturally) Personally, I am in favor of giving it the ability to penetrate armor in weak points, at least in beetles. At the same time, on the other hand, all armored units in the game already have weak points in which they can be hit - it’s just that there should be more such places for AMR than for standard small arms. At the same time, if I haven’t gone crazy yet, I somehow sometimes manage to pierce the charger’s legs with the AMR - but I haven’t yet understood exactly how it works. One moment the shots ricochet off the armor on his leg, and the next the bullet explodes on impact and he roars as if he has taken damage.

real life anti-materiel rifles cant punch through tanks, anti materiel literally means - anti soft cover, this kind of rifle was originally designed to punch through things like wood, concrete, thin steel, maybe even bullet proof glass, etc. and is absolutely not designed to take out a main battle tank. if you want a sniper rifle that can take a tank out then ask russia for their anti-tank sniper rifle, and pray to god that you can actually carry this monster of a rifle in the battlefield by yourself (it usually needs two people to carry while fully assembled, or one person to carry while stored in a case). additionally anti-tank rifles are very hard pressed to find ammo for itself since its very non-standard, that and the fact that most anti-tank rifles are either single round bolt action loading or at maximum only have a 3 to 5 round mag that weighs a half ton, using it is practically impossible in a hurry and is only really used well in advance of the enemy. you'll find that there are a lot more examples of suspiciously autocannon looking anti-tank rifles in real life than there are actual scoped anti-tank sniper rifles. edit: if you think, "iTs JuSt A vIdEoGaMe iT dOeSnT nEeD tO bE rEaLiStIc" well tough luck because all of the devs at arrowhead studios are all reserve officers of the swedish armed forces. they know how weapons are supposed to feel like, how they should perform, what their limitations are, etc. and if you're asking them to make one of the most realistic weapons in helldivers 2 into another broken af railgun then you'd better just be playing call of duty because you'll be disappointed here.

At the start when the only support weapon i had was the heavy assault rifle you can call, if i managed to find one of those snipers, i would exchange it for that rifle since i like to play like im some sort of scout. Then i got the automatic cannon, while the reload can be slow if a partner doesnt carry the ammo back for you. I use it like an actual anti material rifle and its because of one aspect. When fighting automatons and you find a fabricator, normally to destroy it you need to toss a grenade down the two vents on top or through the door when it opens. Also with some heavy rain from above can destroy it. But the thing is that the auto cannon if you shot at the top of the vents, the shot bounces inside the fabricator and can destroy it. It works for all other heavy stuff and similar to the sniper you can take down a damaged charger easy. Against hulks 4 or so shots well placed on their face and they are down which i find easier because since the scope is not a long range, the recoil feels less so you can make the shots in quick succession. Automaton towers and tanks with around 3 shots in their weak spots and they are done as well. After that something like morter and the torret auto cannon plus an orbital strike or something else for me do it.

The AMR is not a bad support weapon but I find the autocannon to be flat out better unless you really want the range that a scope gives you. The issue with that though is that if its far enough that you need the scope its probably best to avoid it instead. I do find it to be nice for stealth runs against bots because you can pick off the guy about to flare and drop patrols quickly before they reinforce. I still prefer the autocannon over the AMR in most cases though unless we already have multiple autocannons and are all on the same page about stealth.

I think everyone religiously sticking to the breaker/railgun combo are only shooting themselves in the foot in the long-run. They are almost certainly going to get a nerf, or the other weapons will be buffed to a point that they won't be the end all be all and it's only going to upset the strict metalheads. There are so many other weapons that are both fun and when used with practice very effective, but getting dependent on the noob tubes is just going to make it harder on you when that is taken away in the next balance pass or two and now you have to learn to aim with your primary and learn to use other high alpha weapons to deal with the heavy targets. Just try to mix things up a bit and you'll start to realize the breaker and railgun are not nearly as jazzed up as you think, and squads with a diverse set of gear in my experience are far more effective in those 7+ difficulties.

Zero shot that railgun gets a nerf and other guns don’t get a buff. If railgun gets a nerf then the other guns will get buffs because right now the railgun is the only way to deal with big targets efficiently at higher difficulties. It’s definitely not gonna be a self shot to the foot if players abuse the railgun right now and don’t use other support weapons. This is a PvE game. It’s not like it takes weeks of planning to learn how to use other weapons. You can learn how to use a weapon in a game or 2.

Brother, no one's using it because they don't like other guns. They are using it because the other guns suck ass objectively, when it comes to clearing waves and surviving when you are getting swarmed and overrun, especially at higher difficulties. Other than the starter AR, most guns are niche picks that are less effective, that btw you also have to grind a decent amount to get to. And it's not like the Railgun is OP either. Chargers take 2 shots to the leg and half a clip of ammo to finish. Already at level 8 you can face upto 5 at a time, not to mention multiple bile titans. With reloads the TTK is atleast 8-10 secs for chargers on average(bile titans is variable, 10 shots or lucky headshot so) It's also hard to coordinate with randoms and it's not like the average player will be a tactical aimgod and land every shot and also use every stratagem well. I've met guys that were fucking dope, (1 american, 1 french and the third some scandinavian guy, going by their accents) that completed the extreme difficulty 4 min achievement on the 2nd try. And then I've met these double left-handed guys that couldn't stop friendly firing and throwing clusters and orbitals at their own feet. That's also not counting, half the guns don't work as advertised, that's why people are using the railgun(I'm crying over here while holding my liberator penetrator doing jack shit to the armored shrimp bug). Not to mention reaching the scorcher like in the vid takes a WHOPPING 1275 medals. Yeah you might be an aimgod and an excellent player but you are severely overestimating the skill level of an average player.

Ok. First thank you for your comment. Sniper is Very easy to use, comes with insane amount of ammo, can pretty much deal with all enemies besides Bile Titan. And with your Stratagems like Orbital Rail-cannon & Airstrikes, you can deal with pretty much anything in the game at Hell Dive. All I am saying in the video is that you don't need 4 railguns in a group. A sniper is Great option to add to your group comp.

What you forgot to mention is that it deals explosive damage, so you can shoot the spewers sack/butt and charger butt for full damage instead of just the 10% dmg with non-explosive weapons. This is pretty big value imho.

Real life anti-materiel rifles cant punch through tanks, anti materiel literally means - anti soft cover, this kind of rifle was originally designed to punch through things like wood, concrete, thin steel, maybe even bullet proof glass, etc. and is absolutely not designed to take out a main battle tank. if you want a sniper rifle that can take a tank out then ask russia for their anti-tank sniper rifle, and pray to god that you can actually carry this monster of a rifle in the battlefield by yourself (it usually needs two people to carry while fully assembled, or one person to carry while stored in a case). additionally anti-tank rifles are very hard pressed to find ammo for itself since its very non-standard, that and the fact that most anti-tank rifles are either single round bolt action loading or at maximum only have a 3 to 5 round mag that weighs a half ton, using it is practically impossible in a hurry and is only really used well in advance of the enemy. you'll find that there are a lot more examples of suspiciously autocannon looking anti-tank rifles in real life than there are actual scoped anti-tank sniper rifles. edit: if you think, "iTs JuSt A vIdEoGaMe iT dOeSnT nEeD tO bE rEaLiStIc" well tough luck because all of the devs at arrowhead studios are all reserve officers of the swedish armed forces. they know how weapons are supposed to feel like, how they should perform, what their limitations are, etc. and if you're asking them to make one of the most realistic weapons in helldivers 2 into another broken af railgun then you'd better just be playing call of duty because you'll be disappointed here.

Scorcher is trash , I used it for a week . The splash damage will kill you more than the enemies. Scorcher is only good mid too long range . So it’s just ok against robots. But enemies that rush you bugs or robots , that’s like 90% of the enemies in the game. You will kill your self with the scorcher. The best primary guns I tell players too try is Defender SMG , Breaker shotgun on PlayStation. If your on PC I am sure you can use other guns because you have better aim with keyboard and mouse . So that’s really the big question what platform are you playing on it makes a huge difference. PC players can even call in Stratagems in faster as well with quick arrow keys while they keep moving . Using a default controller that’s extremely uncomfortable on PlayStation

Why not the jetpack so you can position better? You can get a turret to clear small enemies. Or take a better primary to deal with them like a liberator, which btw has a great scope and will compliment well your sniper rifle.

I don't see the real advantage over a Railgun. Both are in essence a high calibre sniper rifle. One charges up the shots, the other needs to fire twice. When you account the double tapping for the ammunition and magazines, they should be about the same, with maybe the rifle having a moderate ammo advantage..? All this fuss for that?
@YuriiTemnikov

The railgun requires reloading after each shot, plus it was nerfed, which was expected - it was too good. As a result, it was and remains a weapon only against armored single enemies. But AMP is a thing, although not so punchy, but more universal. With its help, you can both target weak points in armored units - and this causes serious damage - and thin out the advancing crowd. It can kill those stalkers who can easily get close to you from a blind spot in just a second, due to the rate of fire and a little quickshot practice. In general, in this game, each weapon has its own pros and cons - it’s just that now, for the most part, players are too “soft” and are always looking for an “imba” that will allow them to make the game as easy as possible. If they like it, I have nothing against it. But personally, I have always played games not with what is more powerful/convenient, but with what I like.

So the railgun does the same thing to chargers in less shots. same method with the plasma rifle as well. You also can't one shot titans with the AM rifle which becomes a bigger deal when you run lvl8 and lvl9 missions. Taking down hulks is the same method but can also stun the mob if you don't hit the eyes of it. Not really selling the AM rifle to me but to each their own. I think showing more footage of fighting the harder mobs from different instance might help sell it.

@@InsightfulGaming I can agree on that. I think you only need 2 max per team to make sure the mobs get handled. Having someone on backup for the big gun is needed later on. I do also like to use different weapons like the arco thrower with the ammo pack since the gun doesn't need supplies. Grenade launcher for crowd control and combind with a jetpack can be a deadly hive hole hunter.

Well, your main point here is the AMR not being as effective against the bugs, but admitting it’s good for the bots. So it just comes down to what you prefer. Are you a starship trooper, or are you here to fight skynet. If this thing can one tap hulks from a distance..and has a scope that makes me able to actually properly see center of the faceplate..I want this thing over the railgun. Railgun I almost always miss the one shot at range.
