The sniper rifle is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background

This section is transcluded from sniper rifle. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

A scoped, high-powered rifle that has found use on both the East and West Coasts of post-War America. Chambered for .308 rounds, the weapon is semi-automatic with a 5-round magazine designed for long-range combat.

Characteristics

The sniper rifle is a semi-automatic rifle, designed primarily as a long-range weapon, it deals reasonable damage, has a scope with 3.5x magnification and very little weapons spread.

Once modified with a suppressor, it becomes the perfect weapon for an assassin when "Hidden" in sneak mode, alerting only those fired upon by the player character at no loss of faction reputation (even if the death is witnessed by nearby non-player-characters). With the added bonus of sneak attack criticals, most targets are usually dispatched with a single shot to the head. Due to the rifle's decent rate of fire, any target that survives the first shot can be dispatched quickly with a second shot before alerting any nearby non-player-characters.

Durability

The sniper rifle can fire a total of about 395 standard rounds, the equivalent of 79 reloads, from full condition before breaking.
