Abilene Kid LE BB Gun

The Raider Abilene Kid LE BB Gun is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Raider Abilene Kid LE BB Gun is a variant of the standard BB gun, on both sides of the weapon's stock is the inscription "Abilene Kid ~Limited Edition~ 1 of 200.". Although it shows no obvious significant differences to the standard version when examined in the player's Pip-Boy, the Abilene variant is far more useful. In addition to a slightly higher critical chance, the weapon has a dramatically higher critical damage bonus, boasting an astounding 70 points of added damage for a critical hit. With the Better Criticals perk a critical hit from the Abilene Kid LE BB gun is on par with one from a hunting rifle, doing 109 damage total compared to the hunting rifle's 113.

Due to its relatively low critical chance multiplier the Abilene Kid LE BB gun cannot be relied upon to be effective in normal combat without additional critical chance modifiers, such as the Finesse perk or True Police Stories skill magazine. It can be considered more useful for stealth-based players who can rely on achieving sneak attack criticals regularly, further enhanced by the fact that the weapon is classified as silent.

Like the standard BB gun, the Abilene Kid LE BB gun has a comparatively (to other rifle weapons) high spread outside of V.A.T.S. and low base to-hit chance in V.A.T.S. This makes the weapon somewhat impractical to use for anything beyond mid-range attacks.

Variant

 * BB gun, a standard version found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

Locations

 * It can be found in Fields' Shack, south-west of Nellis Air Force Base. The shack is right next to the main road leading in to the base. The gun is sitting on one of the shelves on the left wall.


 * If you have the Wild Wasteland trait, the gun will instead be located inside a well that appears in front of the shack. The well appears after talking to Rex upon him saying "aroo" and asking him if someone fell down a well. Doing this will cause you to receive a map marker denoting the location of Jimmy's Well.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the gun will drop through the floor of the shack, or just simply isn't there, rendering it unobtainable in some cases.
 * It is possible that when you pick up the gun it will not appear on your menu. You can sell it, but you cannot use it in combat. To fix this (if you obtained it from Jimmy's Well) is to enter the well again. The gun will reappear in your inventory. Simply drop it and pick it up again, and it should appear in your inventory when you leave the well.
 * Player character's finger blocks the iron sights if player character is male, but not if player is female.
