FIDO

FIDO is the upgraded K9000 cyberdog gun in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Characteristics
Unlike the K9000 cyberdog gun, FIDO uses .44 magnum rounds instead of .357 magnum rounds, resulting in higher damage and a slightly higher spread. The brain case and the scope are red instead of blue and the decal is changed from a golden retriever to a bulldog. Other features of the K9000 cyberdog gun are included in FIDO.

Variants

Behind the scenes
