In-game description

The 20 Neville Anti-Tank Rifle is a Warden Anti-Tank Rifle. It fires 20mm ammunition.

Description

The 20 Neville Anti-Tank Rifle is a Warden bolt-action 20mm primary weapon with 150-225 Anti-Tank Kinetic damage, slow fire rate (34.2 rounds/min), long range (34.5m effective, 40m max), 8-round magazine, and mediocre accuracy. Moving and firing significantly decreases the gun's accuracy so it is best fired from a stable position like behind cover. It significantly slows down the player when wielded. It can only be fired in the crouched or prone stance or if the player has cover in front of them to rest the gun on.

It can be used against infantry in a pinch however it's not cost-effective and difficult with the gun's low accuracy.

It is effective against light armoured vehicles but struggles against heavy armored vehicles like Tanks or Field Weapons. It damages the integrity of vehicle Tank Armour by an amount equal to twice the damage dealt.

It can destroy deployed tripods but does no damage to all other structures.

It can suppress infantry, garrisoned defenses, and all vehicle gunners.

It is relatively heavy (170). The Soldier Uniform can reduce its weight by 25%.

It does not stack in the player's inventory (1 per slot).

Must be fully researched in the Weapons and Structures IconFilterWeaponsStructures.png Tech Tree in order to be produced.

Mass Production Factory orders must have at least 3 crates.

Storage

It does not stack in structure or vehicle inventories (1 per slot).It can only be stored in the stockpile of Bases (32k max).
Crates of 20 Neville Anti-Tank Rifle can be directly submitted to any item stockpile that accepts that item to transfer their content.The crates can also be stored in the crate stockpiles of Storage Depots (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Seaports (1000 public, 100 per Reserve Stockpile), Shipping Containers (60), or Storage Ships (1000).
It can be transported by almost any vehicle with inventory slots. However it is much more efficient to transport it in bulk amounts as crates, either delivering them to a Base's stockpile with a Truck or to a crate stockpile with shipping vehicles carrying Shipping Containers.

Tactics

Due to the heavy movement penalty when equipped, it is recommended to switch to a secondary weapon to move faster.

Trivia

  • Prior to the introduction of faction specific weapons in 0.42 Winter Army, the Neville was also used by the Colonials, and was referred to simply as the "Anti-Tank Rifle".
  • Prior to Update 0.44, the weapon was called the "135 Neville Anti-Tank Rifle". Its name was changed following the renaming of 13.5mm to 20mm.
  • It appears to be based on both the British .55 inch Boys Anti-Tank Rifle (Muzzle Break, Stock, Rear Carrying Handle), and the Finnish 20mm Lahti L-39 (Magazine, Bipod Skis) anti-tank rifles.
