(Redirected from .45 Auto pistol)


“This type of .45 Automatic pistol was designed by one of my tribe almost four hundred years ago. Learning its use is a New Canaanite rite of passage.”— Joshua Graham

The .45 Auto Pistol is a weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.

Gameplay

The .45 Auto Pistol is a single-action, semi-automatic handgun that utilizes .45 Auto ammunition. While the .45 AP Night Sights modification is unused in the game, the sights are still present on the weapon's default model (pre- and post-modified versions). This gives the .45 Auto Pistol luminescent sights, and can be used in dark areas.

It is considered an improved holdout weapon and can be taken into weapon-free locations with a Sneak skill of 50 or greater. It also has the highest base damage of any silenced holdout weapon once the AP silencer mod has been added.

Durability

The .45 Auto Pistol can fire a total of about 745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 107 reloads, from full condition before breaking. When modded with the HD Slide, it can fire a total of about 1,120 standard rounds, the equivalent of 160 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Notes

Behind the scenes

  • The pistol's firepower was improved to balance weapons in the game as opposed to align with their real-world calibers.[Dev 1]

Bugs

  • Playstation 3Playstation 3 Xbox 360Xbox 360 If both mods are attached and you use a Weapon Repair Kit on it, the weapon stops degrading from use and can continue to be repaired past 100% increasing its value and condition.
  • PCPC Xbox 360Xbox 360 Sometimes, when both modifications are attached to the .45 Auto Pistol, it will not show in first person or third person view while in the Mojave Wasteland.
  • PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3 Xbox 360Xbox 360 If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the .45 Auto Pistol equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by switching to another weapon, then back again.
  • PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3 Xbox 360Xbox 360 Sometimes when aiming down the sight while in the first-person view, the gun will disappear entirely. Switching to another weapon, then back seems to fix the issue.
  • PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3 Sometimes, when ED-E repairs the weapon with both modifications, the condition will actually degrade instead of improving.

  1. ↑ Courier: "Nice guns."
    Joshua Graham: "In the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau, all tribes are known for a specific weapon. White Legs are known for their big submachine guns, 'storm drums.' They broke into an armory near Spanish Fork and have been using them for years. Of course, the Dead Horses have their wooden war clubs and even the Sorrows have their Yao Guai gauntlets. This type of .45 Automatic pistol was designed by one of my tribe almost four hundred years ago. Learning its use is a New Canaanite rite of passage."

Developer Statements
  1. ↑ Comment: "The Devs in New Vegas actually tried to balance weapons based on the power of their real-world calibers, which is why they buffed 10mm, added 9mm as a replacement low-tier ammo, and got rid of .32 entirely (Because it was completely ludicrous)."
    Joshua Sawyer: "The exception to this was .45 Auto (ACP). To make it appealing as a mid-tier semi-auto caliber between 10mm and 12.7mm with a 7 round magazine, I had to give it TRUE TALES OF THE 1911 stats. I still feel slightly bad about it, but people like Last Man Standing-style .45s that throw guys 20' through the air, so..."
