A lot of people find the Anti-Material Rifle underwhelming, which could be because they aren't using it correctly. Its armor-piercing rounds are excellent at providing cover fire to your teammates from a distance. Moreover, this Stratagem is at its best when you use it against smaller targets, as it can one-shot most of them.

You can also enter first-person mode by pressing R3 on a controller or the scroll wheel on a PC. This helps you with ADS and provides a clearer view of the enemies that you wish to take down. Using the Anti-Material Rifle to strip enemies of their armor and switching to a different weapon to quickly take them down produces the best results.

Moreover, while it's deadly at long range, you can even use it as a shotgun if your enemies have you surrounded. Thanks to its high bullet velocity, you can even hit collateral shots without having to worry about bullet drop.
