Mod:Fallout: New California/Wasteland Scout Rifle

The Wasteland Scout Rifle is a unique weapon in Fallout: New California. It is a unique variant of the hunting rifle.

Background
True to its name, the Wasteland Scout Rifle is simply a hunting rifle previously used by the Wasteland Scouts.

Characteristics
In some ways the weapon is a downgrade from the regular rifle. The weapon has half the damage and DPS of the regular weapon, as well as half the health and a lower VATS crit chance. However, it has a lower skill and strength requirement.

Durability
The rifle can fire a total of about 745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 149 magazines, from full condition before breaking.

Location
The weapon is found in a wasteland scout hideout just outside Vault 18. Go right when exiting the vault. There will be two bombed houses. The second house (without a truck crashed into it) has a cellar door behind it. Inside, you'll find the rifle leaning up against a metal box that holds the "Discoveries" note for the "Scoutmaster" challenge.
