LA60 Masthead

The  is an anti-materiel rifle available to the New Conglomerate. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Liberty Arsenal 60 Masthead is the New Conglomerate's anti-materiel rifle. It carries the heaviest round of any anti-materiel rifle on Auraxis, dealing more damage-per-bullet than both the NS-AM7 Archer and than its cross-faction competitors—though unlike the Archer, the Masthead's explosive payload is intended solely for anti-air usage, a flak round that explodes within approximately 5 meters of an aircraft dealing high damage.

The Masthead's range is noticably limited compared to its contemporaries, thanks both to its relatively lower velocity and a short lifespan, with the Masthead only being capable of striking targets no more than approximately 575 meters away.
