Reservist's Rifle

The Reservist's Rifle appears in Fallout 3 and is a unique version of the Sniper Rifle.

Location

 * This variation of the sniper rifle is used by and drops from the Drifter in Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel.

Tips

 * The Reservist's Rifle is an ideal choice for a follower, as the small magazine capacity and consequent need to reload the rifle every three shots reduces the number of rounds wasted after an enemy is killed.
 * The Reservist's Rifle could also be an ideal weapon for stealth-oriented sniper characters, due to the aforementioned potential 100% critical rate.
 * Multiple copies of the weapon can be obtained by shooting it out of The Drifter's hands, thereby making him drop it to the floor with zero condition. He will switch to his fists and pose no threat. Take your prize and simply get out of range and wait three days. The Drifter will have a new Reservist's Rifle in his hands, able to be obtained in exactly the same way as the first. Rinse and repeat as many times as desired. (Credit for this idea goes to the Youtube user "Orcidea;" very handy videos by the way)

Trivia

 * The "Reservist's" title might refer to the US Army Reserve, making a reference to some of Fallout 2's weaponry descriptions which give background information about weapons retired by the regular Army and then given to the National Guard or Reserves for their training and use.

Bugs

 * The Drifter may be on ground level when approaching Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel.
 * If you zoom in with it, then press the sheath and/or arm button, and then arm it again the rifle will be invisible.This also works with other scoped weapons. (Confirmed for xbox 360, PS3. Disproved for PC)
