Paciencia (GRA)

Paciencia is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
Paciencia is a unique hunting rifle. It has a three-round magazine but boasts higher damage than the regular variant as well as higher item HP. Its main advantage over the standard variant is its extremely high critical damage, which is an astounding 110 points, equal to the anti-materiel rifle. Due to its bonus critical chance, critical hits will be more common. It also has a 3.5x magnification when looking down the rifle's iron sights, equivalent to a top-tier scope. However, like most unique weapons, Paciencia cannot be modified using standard hunting rifle mods.

In appearance, it is less makeshift than regular hunting rifles. The pieces of metal and duct tape holding the barrel in place are absent as the barrel is in no state of disrepair, the stock isn't damaged, and the wood is in far better condition. A Mexican flag is also wrapped around the stock for use as a makeshift cheek rest.

Behind the scenes
In Spanish, Paciencia means "Patience". According to J.E. Sawyer, it is so named "because you have three shots, so you had better make them count."
