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, a slightly shorter barrel 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 weighs 1.5 lbs. more than the base weapon outfitted with Carbon Fiber Parts. Compared to normal sniper rifle, Gobi Campaign scout rifle does slightly less damage, fires slightly faster, but the major downside is it can not be silenced.

If you have the Jury Rigging perk, this rifle can be repaired with Service Rifle, Marksman carbine, and similar weapons. It cannot be repaired with Varmint rifle, Cowboy repeater, or Hunting rifle (Fallout: New Vegas).

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.
