A massive single-action revolver that lives up to its name. The Anvil delivers crushing 40 damage per shot with heavy rounds, capable of two-tapping any player to the body and one-tapping headshots on unarmored targets. The most feared sidearm in ARC Raiders.
The Anvil is a uncommon hand cannon in ARC Raiders, currently rated S-Tier tier in the Flashpoint patch 1.22.0 weapon meta. With 40 damage per shot and a fire rate of 16.3 RPM, it puts out 652 DPS — placing it in the top damage bracket among all ARC Raiders weapons. The 6-round magazine and 2.2s reload window mean you need to land your shots — this weapon punishes spray-and-pray and rewards precision.
Recoil sits at 72/100, which makes the Anvil a high-skill weapon that rewards muscle-memory and recoil-pattern practice. Effective range tops out around 45/100, so the Anvil excels in medium-range fights — open courtyards, Spaceport runways, and Buried City rooftops. It feeds on heavy ammo (52.5% armor penetration), so it punches through Heavy shields and lets you contest armored Raiders directly.
For ARC Raiders players asking where to find the Anvil, the most reliable spawns are at Buried City weapon crates, Dam Battlegrounds armory spawns, Blue Gate mid-tier loot areas. If RNG isn't on your side, you can also craft the Anvil at the Gunsmith (Level 1) using 5× Mechanical Components, 6× Simple Gun Parts. The blueprint drops as rare loot during raids — keep an eye on Workshop containers and ARC drops.Best paired with shields and augments that complement its long-range scoped playstyle.
