The DKS-501 sniper rifle is a long range projectile weapon in Fallout and Fallout 2.

CharacteristicsEdit

This rifle allows the user to do insane damage to the critical body areas, if player has the stats to back it up. The Sniper Rifle does not share the same reduction in accuracy when enemies close in as the Scoped hunting rifle.

The Sniper Rifle boasts good damage, max range, and ammo for it is quite common. It has two glaring flaws however - it has a small ammo capacity, and costs an extra AP to fire. This means targeted shots, although accurate, take 7 AP to fire.

LocationsEdit

FalloutEdit

• Sold by Jake in the Hub.
• Robots in The Glow carry sniper rifles.
• Given to you by Mathia for your assignment from General Maxson.
• One of the Regulators outside Jon Zimmerman's home in Adytum has one.

Fallout 2Edit

• Near Vault 15
• Next to a corpse outside Sierra Army Depot, just inside the gun turrets' range.
• Very commonly found carried by mobsters in random encounters around New Reno.

Behind the scenesEdit

The Sniper Rifle, unlike most of the rest of the game's weapons, has a reused sprite; the Wattz 2000 Laser Rifle uses the same basic sprite, lacking a scope and having several wires jutting out.
