But he's also the character of choice amongst the elite - those hardcore guys who play play play until they're just about perfect. It's because of his skill with the rifle: Anderson's marksmanship far outclasses that of any other character. Facing an Anderson at long range is a one-way ticket to Deadsville.

The rifle is such a nice weapon - unbeatable range, large magazine, high caliber - that I really really wanted to get good at usin' Anderson. So I used him, and tried to kill everyone with the rifle. And I found out that I suck with the rifle at close range. But SOME guys can slaughter with it at close range. Me, I got really frustrated. And since his pistol is slow as molasses compared to Sanchez or Dr. Death, you'd better have a shotgun or yer gonna get whacked. At least that's what happened to me.

Anderson's got another interesting advantage

in bein' able to move quickly side-to-side. So one trick that seems to work well involves sorta wigglin' sideways, back and forth, while you shoot at someone from medium to long range. The quick sideways motion usually makes them miss you while Anderson's aiming abilities keep his rifle on target.
