Victory Rifle (Fallout 3)

The Victory Rifle appears in Fallout 3 and is a 'partially-unique' (see below) version of the Sniper Rifle.

Location
The Victory Rifle is inside a locked (Very Hard) Locker in the Abandoned Shack west of Rockbreaker's Last Gas. This will require a Lockpick skill of 100; there is also no key or trigger that will open the locker. You can take Dogmeat into the shack and ask him to find you the weapon and he will get it out of the locker for you. It might take a few goes because he might get you the wrong weapon. If you have Jericho as a follower, he may find and use the weapon for himself. You will still be able to get it from him by trading weapons.

It can also be obtained off a dead Talon Mercenary in a random encounter.

There is also an Enclave soldier who carries the Victory Rifle. The soldier can be found next to the Rotunda during the assault on Project Purity. Upon getting this weapon from the locker occasionally if you have escaped Raven Rock a Vertibird will land to drop off Enclave soldiers and one of the Enclave are also using a Victory Rifle. Also in the citadel armory after you blow It up.It may possibly still be there should the Citadel not be blown up, though since it cannot be reached if it is not, there is no way to prove this.

Glitches

 * If you bring any NPC that needs a weapon into the cabin, he/she/it will run to the locker and apparently without problem take out the Victory Rifle. This is one way to get around the need for 100 Lockpick to open the locker.
 * This works with Jericho or Star Paladin Cross or Clover since they will want to shoot Fluffy and Jitters, the radroaches. Butch DeLoria, already equipped with a Laser Rifle, has also been known to immediately retrieve the Victory Rifle from the locked cabinet.
 * This also works if Talon Company Mercs or Regulators spawn outside the hut to kill the player. Go back into the hut and keep shooting out their weapons.
 * When inside the abandoned shack with Dogmeat as company ask him to find you a weapon, and he will eventually retrieve the Victory Rifle. As sometimes multiple weapons are loaded into the containers at random, the number of tries necessary for Dogmeat to find the rifle will vary.

Bugs

 * There appears to be a bug where if you fire while using the scope, the first shot will be normal, but the rest will do no damage. This can be fixed simply by going away from the scope and then coming back. (confirmed)
