Mysterious Magnum

The Mysterious Magnum is a unique .44 Magnum revolver in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
The Mysterious Magnum has been heavily customized and tuned to offer excellent performance and remain aesthetically pleasing. It features a polished silver frame decorated with floral engravings and a mother of pearl grip. Whenever someone uses this beautiful weapon, a mysterious tune can be heard in the background.

Characteristics
A unique .44 magnum revolver with a much higher rate of fire, damage, and durability than the standard model. Like the original, it's one of the improved holdout weapons, which can be brought into restricted areas with 50 or more Sneak.

Location

 * The Lonesome Drifter carries it. He is found east of El Dorado dry lake and north of the El Dorado Gas & Service, near a Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard. The player can procure it by stealing, killing, or passing a Barter check (50 required) while hiring the Drifter as part of the Talent Pool quest. The Drifter will keep the Magnum if he moves to The Tops and it can be procured there freely.

Bugs

 * The tune can occasionally play two times when the weapon is drawn in first person.
 * You can obtain two of the revolvers by stealing the weapon from the Lonesome Drifter and then later doing a barter check of 50 during the quest Talent Pool.
 * The standard double length animation bug affects the weapon. If a savegame is loaded with the weapon drawn, the reloading animation can be twice as long. It can be fixed by switching weapons.
