Victory Rifle (Fallout 3)

The Victory Rifle appears in Fallout 3 and is a unique version of the Sniper Rifle. The Rifle is inside a locked (Very Hard) Locker in the Abandoned Shack west of Rockbreaker's Last Gas. This will require a 100 Lockpick skill, and there is no key or trigger that will open the locker.

High level Talon Company mercenaries may also be found carrying this weapon.

A critical hit with this rifle will knock enemies down for 1 to 4 seconds.



Bugs

 * If you bring any npc that needs a weapon into the cabin, he/she/it will run to the locker and apparently without problem take out the Victory Rifle. This is one way to get around the need for 100 Lockpick to open the locker.
 * This works with Jericho or Star Paladin Cross since they will want to shoot Fluffy and Jitters, the radroaches.
 * This also works if Talon Company Mercs spawn outside the hut to kill the player. Go back into the hut and keep shooting out their weapons.
 * When inside the abandoned shack with Dogmeat as company ask him to find you a weapon, first time he will find you a 44. magnum and the second time you ask him he will retrieve the Victory Rifle.
