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. It should be noted, however, that the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle deals slightly less damage per shot than the standard Sniper Rifle and fires considerably faster. It weighs 1.5 lbs. more than the base weapon outfitted with Carbon Fiber Parts. The gun is very effective when using JSP hand load ammo if you have the perk to craft unique ammo. At 100 Guns it can deal 96 DAM and can kill most enemies with a single shot to the head on Hard Difficulty.


 * NOTE: DMG heavily depends on ammunition used. For a character (AG 9, guns 100 {getav 114}) Regular .308 = 61 DMG, HP = 107 (175%) DMG, AP = 58 (95%) DMG

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 100 or is boosted up enough with effects from chems and books.

Appearances
The only appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
