It appears this rifle is better than lincolns repeater...uses VERY common ammo...and does 2 points of damage extra....wonder where it is found though Butter 17:21, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Swamplurk lair. Tribal god. Something rediculously difficult. (And before Spoon gets to it, behind a mountain of InstaMash.) Nitpicker of the Wastes 17:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Swamplurk's?Normal lurks get raped by the metal blaster....so getting this fucker should be easy......after that ill dump my lincols repeater back in it's case and use my 44.magnum rounds for callahans magnum (Yes i did bomb the citadel) Butter 17:26, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Ah, but this DLC Add-on is recommened for after level 17. Maybe Swamplurks do for the Mirelurk what Reavers do for Ferals. Nitpicker of the Wastes 17:29, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Uh but im level 30 with most stats capped at 100 and wielding some powerful shit...so they wont do me much harm....unless these guys have the health of reavers and the defense of hunters...them im fucked....also....are you sure reavers will still be the top dog?I think swamp ghouls will be worse Butter 17:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Swamp ghouls? Puh-leeze. They'll be retextured Ferals. Nothing major. Maybe all the Mirelurks get retextured and buffed... Nitpicker of the Wastes 17:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
Eh....as long as they dont give the, 9999999999999999999 health and an insta-kill attack Butter 17:36, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

You bombed the Citade?! You bastard! (what's Callahan's Magnum like?) SuSpence95 17:38, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Put that on the "Other shit" section on my user page......thats where conversations mostly go....anyway.......yes i did.....i hated the brotherhood....and although the watseland variant seems diffrent....they still died...h and callahans magnum give you and urge to say "Do you feel lucky punk?" everytime you shoot somone...and hey...with a sneak attaack critical you can one hit deathclaws!(As shown by orcidea) Butter 17:41, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

44 mag in backwater

So did anyone else stock up on .44 mag for the thing or just me, Funny thing being I pressed about 5000 10mm for the .44 ammo well guess the Blackhawk gets extra use now.LTHENSON 05:26, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

I just got it and it is just as powerful as the Lincoln and it uses 10mm, Awsum. Kalalokki 14:07, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

So....Lincols Repeater....Useless now?Ah well....better dust off callahans magnum..... Butter 17:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
Meh... I liked how Lincolns repeater had 0 spread, and the backwater rifle isn't that much more powerful. It seems like it has less of a crit damage bonus, but a higher crit multiplier. It also takes more AP. I imagine it would be better at short to medium range, non stealthed, either outside of VATS or with the Grim Reapers Sprint perk. Also, it would be annoying to repair outside the DLC unless you REALLY stock up on lever rifles before returning to the Capital Wastes. I think it's a matter of preference and playing style. Personally, I'm sticking with Lincoln's repeater. It fits my character better. I use stealth a lot, and it fits the long/medium long range sniping niche pretty well. Plus, I love using it on Slavers, just for the hell of it (Similarly, I'm going to massacre Andale cannibals using Jack). Though, since I went Rambo on Paradise Falls, Lincoln's Memorial, and the Pitt Raiders, their aren't many left.R3dflag 06:00, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

I can confirm this exists, I got it after completing the quest "The Velvet Curtain"

According to the article, this does 45 damage per shot compared to 50 for Lincoln's Repeater. I know the "in-game" DAM is listed as 52 but that can sometimes be misleading. Can anyone confirm which weapon does the most damage per shot? Otherwise I'll do it myself once I get it. Regardless though, the 0.25 spread does suggest that it's less accurate (both in and outside of VATS) than the Repeater. 82.117.105.145 15:34, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I figured out that the max ATK for the Lever-Action Rifle is 45, Backwater Rifle is at 50, while the Lincoln's Repeater is at 55. Hammer Bro. Mike 15:57, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Crit chance

Anyone else notice that this gun seems to have a MUCH higher crit chance than most other small guns? I have average luck and about 75% of my VATS shots with this weapon are crits WouldYouKindly 23:42, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Lincoln's rolling in his grave, knowing that his gun isn't as good as some Communist's. Nitpicker of the Wastes 23:43, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Just like the Vault Dweller is rolling in his grave because of his portrayal in fallout brotherhood of stool Butter 16:18, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Can I just say this weapon is absolutely lethal in the hands of someone with Better Criticals, Finesse and high Luck (like myself). 10 Luck actually. Cuts through most enemies with ease, just disappointed by slightly less damage and zero spread compared to Lincoln's Repeater. Vault01 22:24, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
