Anti-Tank Rifle

**Anti-Tank Rifle** (対戦車ライフル, tai sensha raifuru, ***Anti-Tank Rifle***?) is a Gun Weapon in the Dead Or School video game.

## Overview

The Anti-Tank Rifle can first be found being sold from a red vending machine hidden somewhere in Ichigaya. In terms of raw firepower, this weapon is the best among those in the Gun category since the rounds explode on contact *(the blast radius is smaller compared to Launcher weapons, but still very effective)*, damaging other enemies/obstacles up close. It also boasts a decent critical rate, which can be enhanced by modifying the passive ability into Critical Plus or Fatal Plus IV.

The drawbacks to this otherwise overpowered rifle consist of: low ammunition count *(40~60 rounds/1 shot per magazine)*, slow reload time and really high stamina consumption, which prohibits the use of the Aimed Shot skill in the early going unless 3-5 skill points are allocated to the "Acceleration" skill or several Stamina attachments are stacked.

### Recommended Attachments

* Trick x 2 (preferably with reload speed percentage totaling 100%), Stamina or Bullet.
* Trick & Fatal Plus IV (if the latter is not already an innate/modded passive for the weapon), Stamina x 2

## Notes & Trivia

* Another general term for this weapon is the "Anti-Materiel Rifle" since it is meant to damage fortifications/armor as opposed to "Anti-Personnel" weapons used for combatants.
* Despite the "anti-tank" tag, the front armor of the Type-07 Battle Tank boss still defends against rounds fired from it, evident by the metallic clinking sound heard when the bullet makes contact.
* This weapon is perhaps the only one with a gap between classes when collected. The first one *(Common Class)* is obtained from Ichigaya *(the third area)*, but an upgrade *(Modified Class)* will not be available until the player reaches Shinjuku Surface, which is the sixth area of the game. It does not appear in Budokan and Akihabara for some reason.
