Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A unique sniper rifle that was used in a military campaign in the Gobi Desert in China, the scout rifle is coated in a desert camouflage, and equipped with an extended magazine and a maintenance kit stored in the stock. Thus, its condition deteriorates more slowly than other sniper rifles. It cannot be modified with a sniper rifle suppressor or carbon fiber parts, although its decreased weight and texture imply that the latter modification has already been applied. Its reduced AP cost can be very useful for squeezing an extra shot into a V.A.T.S. sequence. This sniper rifle looks great while wearing NCR Ranger Combat Armor and isn't plagued by the half disappearing weapon glitch while holstered on the armor.

Locations
It can be found in a locked footlocker (very hard) in Sniper's Nest, due west of Cottonwood Cove. This level of lock makes the weapon unattainable until your Lockpick skill is in the 70s where you can use clothing, chems and a Locksmith's Reader to reach 100.

Appearances
The only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Backstory
The Gobi campaign sniper rifle was a sniper rifle used by only the best of the best snipers in the US forces. If dying or close to death, troops carrying the rifle were ordered to destroy their rifle or make it unattainable to the enemy, which is probably why a lockpick skill of 100 is required to obtain it.
