Paciencia (GRA)

Paciencia is a unique weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
Paciencia is a unique hunting rifle. It has a three-round magazine, but boasts higher damage than the regular variant, as well as higher item HP. Its main advantage over the standard variant is its extremely high critical damage, which is an astounding 110 points, equal to the anti-materiel rifle. Due to its bonus critical chance, critical hits will be more common. It also has a 3.5x magnification when looking down the rifle's iron sights, equivalent to a top-tier scope. However, like many unique weapons, Paciencia cannot be modified using standard hunting rifle mods.

In appearance, it is less makeshift than regular hunting rifles. The pieces of metal and duct tape holding the barrel in place are absent as the barrel is in no state of disrepair, the stock is not damaged, and the wood is in far better condition. A Mexican flag is also wrapped around the stock for use as a makeshift cheek rest. There also appears to be score marks just under the receiver, most likely a killcount.

Durability
Paciencia can fire a total of about 1,745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 582 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Behind the scenes
In Spanish/Portuguese, Paciencia means "Patience". According to Joshua Sawyer, it is named so "because you have three shots, so you had better make them count."
