Lucky (Fallout: New Vegas)

 is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Lucky is a unique version of the standard .357 magnum revolver. Besides dealing more damage, boasting a higher firerate, and having a higher critical chance than a standard .357, its barrel, frame and chamber are made of a smooth black metal decorated with ornate gold etchings, as well as a polished ivory handle imprinted with a black playing card club. The word "Lucky" is imprinted on the silver plate on the ejector tube.

Like most unique weapons, weapon modifications cannot be used on Lucky. However, it comes with the long barrel modification already added. Furthermore, it is considered an improved holdout weapon, and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations so long as your sneak skill is 50 or greater.

Lucky can be repaired by .357 magnum revolvers or any revolver with the Jury Rigging perk.

Variant

 * .357 magnum revolver, standard .357 magnum found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

Location
Lucky is found in a hard locked floor safe inside the Bison Steve Hotel in Primm. Enter the hotel through the main front entrance (left) and proceed to the gift shop (take first left and then left to gift room). Behind the cash register on the floor is the safe (requires a lockpick skill of 75). There is also a copy of Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor (a barter skillbook) lying on the safe.

Bugs

 * Giving Lucky to Cassidy or Raul causes a regular .357 model to be displayed on their persons, but giving Lucky to Veronica shows the correct texture of the revolver.
 * While not necessarily a bug, Lucky is shown as a stolen weapon even though the safe it is in is unowned.
 * Lucky's accuracy in V.A.T.S is almost 0 even though it displays 95% making it near useless for V.A.T.S.
 * If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have Lucky equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again.
