Another use for this weapon since it is considered a silenced weapon is for luring. If you have a high sneak (night-time is much easier) and find yourself between two incompatible enemies you can shoot at each of them, draw them toward you while you stay hidden. When they see each other they will attack each other. Hint: Make sure to sneak off to another spot after you lure them or they will see you and a free-for-all will happen.

The Raider BB rifle, or simply BB gun, is a weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics

This gun is one of the least-damaging weapons in the game, tied with the Chinese pistol. Almost every weapon in the game, except the pool cue, rolling pin and Mesmetron, is much stronger.

Durability

The BB gun can fire a total of about 417 BBs, the equivalent of 5 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

  • The version received on the Lone Wanderer's 10th birthday is different than the standard BB gun. It has a higher item health (1,000), a much faster rate of fire, no chance for a Critical Hit, and does not degrade with use. It is also a quest item, meaning that it cannot be dropped. There is no way to obtain this version of the weapon outside of Growing Up Fast, except through the use of console commands.

Notes

  • During the escape from Vault 101, the gun and 50 BB's can be collected from the Lone Wanderer's desk. They can offer it to Butch DeLoria to fight off the radroaches attacking his mother (although if his mother dies, he will no longer initiate conversation with the Lone Wanderer and the BB gun will be unretrievable without killing him.)
  • The BB gun is a rare weapon to come across in the Capital Wasteland. With the Point Lookout add-on they are more commonly found, used by swampfolk.
  • During "Escape!", attempting to leave the Vault and not picking up everything on the desk, will prompt a message that says "You should get your stuff from your desk before you leave" This includes a BB gun. It is classified as being one of the things that must be taken before leaving and since it is one of the Lone Wanderer's possessions because of the message stating that the "stuff" must be taken before leaving. It is the BB gun given to the Lone Wanderer on their 10th birthday. However, it does not have the unique features like the one given. The birthday version is taken away despite being a present and replaced with a normal BB gun that is seen as the one that is given on the 10th birthday.
