 Anvil stats, behavior and behaviour

 Anvil is a good choice for armored ARCs because of its heavy ammo profile. You can expect slow handling for a high impact per shot and a strong headshot payout.

 Attachments and Mods

 Attachment slots include: Tech Mod, Muzzle

 Anvil Splitter, a separate blueprint for the Tech Mod Slot is unlocked at higher Gunsmith levels. The recipe may vary depending on the build. Check your bench to see what is currently being used.

 Why crafting is better than buying, in terms of durability, repair, and cost

 Weapons become less durable as you use the weapon. Plan to replace or repair your weapon if it becomes less durable. This can cause reloading to be slower and even render the weapon useless at zero. After you have learned the Anvil blueprint you can either craft a new one or upgrade your existing copy. This is usually more sustainable than purchasing it repeatedly, especially if mechanical components and gun parts are already being collected during raids.

 You can upgrade your Gunsmith's level to 2 by looting and extracting the blueprint. Keep a supply of Simple/Heavy Gunparts and Mechanical Components for upgrades and crafts.
