The Gobi Campaign scout rifle is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics

The Gobi Campaign scout rifle is a unique sniper rifle that was used by the United States Armed Forces in the Gobi Desert military campaign in China before the Great War. The scout rifle is coated in a desert camouflage, and comes pre-equipped with an extended magazine, a slightly shorter barrel and a maintenance kit stored in the stock.[1] Thus, its condition deteriorates slower than standard sniper rifles.

Like most unique weapons, it cannot be modified with a suppressor or carbon fiber parts, although its decreased weight and texture imply that the latter modification has already been applied.

Compared to a normal sniper rifle, the Gobi Campaign scout rifle does slightly more damage, has a higher DPS, has less weapons spread, fires more rapidly, degrades more slowly and has greatly increased critical hit damage. Its reduced action points cost can also be very useful for squeezing an extra shot into a V.A.T.S. sequence. However, the major downsides are that it cannot be silenced, and weapons to repair it are severely limited, even with the Jury Rigging perk.

Durability

The Gobi Campaign scout rifle can fire a total of about 795 standard rounds, the equivalent of 133 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
