Gameplay Tips

 * The Anti-Material Rifle performs better overall against the Automatons than Terminids, as the former generally prefers to engage the wielder from a distance, while the latter relies more on rushing the wielder with large swarms of lightly armored targets to engage in melee combat.
 * While it’s possible to change the zoom level of the Anti-Material Rifle to more accurately engage targets over a long distance, it doesn’t posses any thermal or night vision sights which makes it more challenging to use on planets with poor visibility due to dust storms and dense vegetation, as well as during nocturnal operations.
 * Anti-Material Rifle can also be used to take down Gunships by shooting at their engines. Much like shooting a Recoiless Rifle at a Dropship
 * While the Anti-Material Rifle possesses only medium armor penetration, it can still be effectively used to take down Hulks as long as the wielder aims for the head, a few as 2 headshots can be sufficient in taking down a Hulk.
