Victory Rifle (Fallout 3)

The Victory Rifle appears in Fallout 3 and is a unique version of the Sniper Rifle.

Location
The Rifle is inside a locked (Very Hard) Locker in the Sniper Shack west of Rockbreaker's Last Gas. This will require a 100 Lockpick skill, and there is no key or trigger that will open the locker.

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 (since it is a better weapon? Or due to NPC skills?).
 * 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.
 * 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.
