YCS 186

The YCS/186 is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Gameplay
The YCS/186 is a unique variant of the Gauss rifle. The YCS/186 uses four microfusion cells per shot, instead of the normal five of a standard Gauss rifle. It is slightly more accurate and has 20 more item HP than the standard variety. Its only drawback over the base model is a slightly increased weight, at 8 pounds instead of 7.

Durability
The YCS/186 can fire a total of about 495 times using standard cells from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Gauss rifle, the standard variant found through the Mojave Wasteland.

Location

 * The YCS/186 Gauss rifle is found at the mercenary camp east of Brooks tumbleweed ranch. A hostile mercenary with reinforced combat armor or reinforced combat armor mark 2 is carrying this weapon and will attack the player character on sight.


 * If one has the Wild Wasteland trait, the mercenaries are replaced with aliens who have the alien blaster instead, making the YCS/186 unobtainable.
