Fallout: New Vegas Walkthrough -> Sniper Rifles
Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle – A unique variation of the sniper rifle once used during the Gobi Desert Campaign. The rifle features a desert camouflage pattern, an extended magazine, and a cleaning kit. The latter allows this sniper rifle to wear out slower than the standard version. While a suppressor and carbon fiber stock are not available, the reduced weight and appearance of the Scout Rifle suggest their presence.
Where to obtain: The rifle awaits the player at a location called Sniper’s Perch, which offers a picturesque view of Cottonwood Cove. To pick the lock on the locker, you’ll need 100 Lockpicking.
Requirements: Weapon: 75 Strength: 6. ID: 001z29e1
This sniper rifle is the predecessor to the famous DKS-501. Designed for the same .308 caliber, this rifle is very fragile and easily worn. It can be improved with a suppressor and light-alloy parts.
Requirements: Weapon: 75 Strength: 6. ID: 00004353
High-Calibre Sniper Rifle – This amazing weapon is considered the most powerful mass-produced rifle in the game. Accurate shots easily hit joints and knock enemies to the ground. If you’re targeting a creature walking on two legs, a well-placed shot will at least knock them down.
Requirements: Weapon: 100 Strength: 8. ID: 0008f21c
