Why This Build Works
- Highest single-shot damage per round at 40 base, boosted by heavy ammo penetration
- Patch 1.29.0 reduced Anvil horizontal recoil by 15% — significantly more accurate
- Kinetic Converter tech mod adds +5 damage and adjusts fire rate
- Heavy ammo penetrates shields more effectively than light/medium
- Compensator + Stable Stock makes the Anvil a laser at mid range
Pro Tips
- The Anvil rewards precision — aim for headshots to one-tap
- Pair with a close-range secondary for CQB situations
- The Kinetic Converter is expensive but transforms the Anvil into a powerhouse
- Use smoke grenades to close distance to mid-range where the Anvil excels
