Anti Material Rifle not accurate?

[lawshadow]

Hi all,

So the scope isn't calibrated properly even at very close range testing on a wall to see impact. Where you aim is not point of impact. Also the AMR will and can MISS targets at their weak spot even when you are PRONED and the enemy is STATIC. Perfect example on a stunned high valued enemy im proned dead center aim at vulnarable point shoot and misses. I played plenty of snipers in my life but this is very frustrating. Shot not being registered is no fun and happens like a glass wall stopping the bullet.

Reasons does armor matter? I thought being PRONED regardless of type of armor it will grant you a more stable precise shot correct? Or does picking an armor with the bonus "less recoil" give a a far better accuracy even when proned?

Hold your reload button while not scoped in to see where your current aim is set to. Tag your current target with Q (by default on keyboard) to check for distance. Adjust your sights as necessary to ensure accuracy. If you're shooting a target at 100m and your scope is adjusted for 50m aiming you're going to shoot low.

the best thing about the AMR is that you only need to use it when theres a daily for it.

Exactly, I used it yesterday because it was the daily and I can't remember the last time I used it before that. I don't even pick it up at POI when my support weapon is completely out of ammo, it's a joke of a weapon.

Why is it that nobody says "Use search engine idiot" when it is to look up something the community as a whole knows the devs screwed up?

People have been posting that the upper left corner area of the scope is closer to accurate than the middle since launch. (See also: Lower graphics settings reducing them to a smear, which I didn't know due to high settings. shameful)

Trying to blame the user for "not accounting for shot drop or using zoom function" just makes you sound ignorant at best, or trying to mislead them on purpose at worst.

Sounds like it should be tweaked so that it is actually useful, wait no, thats the problem with most guns in this game, nvm.

it's good for stealth runs, just get elevation on a bot outpost and pop pop pop no bot drops

your scope is not fixated on your barrel, the closer you are the less accurate it.

lol no, the AMR don't trigger stationary AI when you shoot them at 100+ meter range. Nobody would queue coop for helldive if AMR get buffed any further than it is now.

Personally I like it but since you do not, you might be happy to learn that you do not even need to use the AMR to do the daily, same for every daily really.

Most/all of them are not exclusively 'you', as long as someone on the mission is getting the kills it will register for you as well. I did my AMR daily without equipping it since I saw 2 people already had it when I joined so I grabbed a Flamer to help deal with Chargers/swarms.

Its the same with "Kill X number of Y enemy" dailies, you do not have to be the one getting the killing blow on a Titan for it to count, as long as they die on the mission you are on it will count.



I hope this is intended by the devs because its a great QoL thing since you can assist other people doing the daily and still profit from it, just another thing that is done really well with this game imo.

You need to zero the sight yourself. The options are 50 meters, 100 meters, and 200 meters. Hold reload to check the current setting. As for how to figure how far your target is... do your best. Intuition!

Even with the ♥♥♥♥ scopes (Which seems to be a global issue. Counter sniper botches max zoom shots I can make in 3rd person with the basic marksman!) , AMR is at least pretty decent against the bots.

Not autocannon decent. because it still suffers damage loss against vents it can technically damage due to not being explosive. But it can kill a hulk faster than it can kill a walker!...

No seriously I can 3rd person no crosshair allowed no-scope two hulks to death faster than I can take out a scout walker. it is nuts.

Again, the more honest community already knows the scopes are misaligned.

Though apparently the recoilless has more reliable shot drop logic!

What are you talking about, what does the zoom have to do with your target's distance
I put it on 200m and never touched it again

some people still haven't noticed the shot lands to the left

Much like a spitter projectile, landing to the left to hit you anyways a full second after you dive behind a rock.

They have been brainwashed to think the problem is "skill issues"

Some people say a poor craftsman blames their tools. The rest of us don't trust a ball peen hammer to turn screws.

(AMR you are so close to 'really good' it hurts me every time I bring you instead of an autocannon)

The sight might be zeroed at the range its set to, so shooting at 50m while at 100m zoom will shoot above the target, its also possible they made bullets come out of the barrel not the crosshair so there will be a vertical gap between where the bullet goes and the crosshair of the scope. If the inaccuracy is horizontal or inconsistent then its a different issue.
