The LA60 Masthead 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 two 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 of 1.2 seconds, with the rifle only being capable of striking targets no more than 540 meters away.
