Reservist's Rifle

The Reservist's Rifle appears in Fallout 3 and is a unique version of the Sniper Rifle.

Location

 * This variation of the sniper rifle is used by and drops from the Drifter in Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel.

Tips

 * The Reservist's Rifle is an ideal choice for a follower, as the small magazine capacity and consequent need to reload the rifle every three shots reduces the number of rounds wasted after an enemy is killed.

Unmarked quest: High Plains Drifter
Drifter is on the top floor of Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel. As the planks he walks on cannot be reached normally you have to kill him in a way that makes his corpse, parts of it or the gun fall down to the floor(if you have the Bloody Mess perk then it's easier to make part of his corpse drop). You can also use the podium inside of the chapel as a platform to jump just close enough to the planks so that you can loot the Drifter mid-jump.

Trivia

 * The "Reservist's" title might refer to the US Army Reserve, making a reference to some of Fallout 2's weaponry descriptions which give background information about weapons retired by the regular Army and then given to the National Guard or Reserves for their training and use.

Bugs

 * The Drifter may be on ground level when approaching Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel.
