Gauss Rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Gauss rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
It is almost identical in appearance to the Gauss Rifle in Fallout 3 apart from the shoulder Protector

It uses 5 rounds of Microfusion Cells per shot instead of 1

Locations
Simply follow the Brotherhood of Steel quest line, and after a time, in addition to becoming a brotherhood Paladin, you are also taught to wear power armor, and can purchase a Gauss Rifle from the quartermaster in the bunker.

They can also be found in abundance on the Brotherhood Paladins inside the bunker in Hidden Valley.

The Silver Rush in Freeside sometimes sells them when you reach higher levels (around 14 or so).

One can also be found in Brewer's Beer Bootlegging, west of the Sunset Sarsasparilla Headquarters. It is behind a locked door, inside a locked gun cabinet, though there is a key in the same area

Appearances
The Gauss rifle appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
