Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle

The Gobi Campaign scout rifle is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Gobi Campaign scout rifle is a unique sniper rifle painted in desert camouflage, with "maintenance kit" written on the stock of the weapon. Its condition deteriorates slower than standard sniper rifles.

Like most unique weapons, it cannot be modified with a suppressor or carbon fiber parts.

Compared to a normal sniper rifle, the Gobi Campaign scout rifle does slightly more damage, has a higher DPS, has a lower weapons spread, fires more rapidly, degrades slower and has greatly increased critical hit damage. Its reduced Action Points cost can also be very useful for squeezing an extra shot into a V.A.T.S. sequence. However, the major downsides are that it cannot be suppressed, and weapons to repair it are severely limited without the Jury Rigging perk.

Durability
The Gobi Campaign scout rifle can fire a total of about 795 standard rounds, the equivalent of 133 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Sniper rifle, standard variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
 * Christine's CoS silencer rifle, a silenced variant of the regular sniper rifle.

Location
Sniper's nest - Found in the Very Hard-locked gun case that is next to an ammunition crate with .308 rounds. There is no key to open it if the lock breaks.
