Talk:Mysterious Stranger's .44 Magnum (Fallout 3)

Darn, you have to use the Bloody Mess perk to get over 9000 damage. --Macros 14:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * but does it do 9000 base damage without the bloody mess perk?
 * It does, at 100% repair, and 100% small arm skill.Firelance 23:05, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

So, with a damage rating of 9000, I guess it really is the most powerful handgun in the world? 95.109.102.252 18:23, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

No Scope
I cut the scope out of the picture ;) --AshRandom 20:39, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hahaha... when I get home from work, I'm going to spawn this and see what it looks like lying on the ground, assuming it has a game-world graphic. --DarkJeff 21:52, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * And now there's a proper pic up. There's a glitch on the Magnum mesh (as well as the .32 pistol) where the speedloader sometimes improperly appears (such as when it's on the ground). --MadCat221 01:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's a video by yours truly for the weapon.

DBZ reference
Shouldn't the damage be 9001?

9000 is not > 9000.


 * Well you may not be able to shout "It's over nine thousand!" when using this gun but you can still say "Garbage day!"--OfficerBlue 08:20, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * But it has a 100x multiplier for criticals. Even with 1 LK, you'll always get a critical hit. Add 9000 damage. 18000 > 9000. Therefore, it's power level is always over 9000. ... WHAT?! NINE THOUSAND?!?!?! Nitty Tok. 01:52, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--PUKEBOT2000 19:23, April 16, 2011 (UTC)PUKEBOT2000

Luck?
I've heard, with luck and some explosives of any form, be it grenades or a fat man, you can knock out the Mysterious Stranger, pick pocket him, and take his gun. Any truth to this? It'd be pretty fun for me, because I'm playing on the Xbox version. Lawlimnator 16:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

He's completely invisible outside of V.A.T.S. I put godmode on, equipped the slowest, least damaging weapon I could find, and found a Deathclaw. I loaded up V.A.T.S, loaded it to fire about 50 shots and then toggled the free cam. I moved the camera back into a corner where he could only spawn in front, and waited for him to show up. Every time he did, I could clearly see the gunshots firing from nowhere, and when I opened the console, he was unselectable. I resurrected the Deathclaw and tried a few more times. Each time the gunshots were fired from a nonexistant source. He wasn't there at all. D:
 * ah, The wonders that can be achieved with the PC version. At least this explains why I wouldn't see the body. Thank you for an extremely clever experiment! Jdw 03:31, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

NINE THOUSAND AND ONE? THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!

Reference Removed
"The damage may be a reference to the internet meme from Dragonball Z, "IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAND!", when the power level of another character is checked using a device called a scouter. The scouter breaks/malfunctions, because it only reads up to a 9000 power level, thus it can be assumed that the person's power is insanely high, just as the damage on the revolver is."
 * Unfortunately the DBZ reference, over 9000 meme, although I personally believe it to be analogous, fitting, and quite deserving of mention has become a point of contention and will now remain here, on the talk page.

Gun is unobtainable without console commands... period. (Verified with test)
As much fun as this discussion has been (and certain people have proven themselves to be quite talented at creative writing and/or trolling), I am sorry to report that the Stranger's .44 Magnum literally cannot be picked up from his corpse by the player. So even if you DID kill him (which is impossible, because he is marked as essential, and even a hundred million billion points of damage will not kill him), you would not be able to loot his gun. I was able to prove this to my own satisfaction on the PC version with a very simple test. Here is the test, for anyone interested. Using the console, summon the Stranger using his NPC BaseID. He will appear next to the player as a non-hostile (thank goodness). Then, again using the console, set his "Essential" flag to "0" so that he can be killed. Then simply target him in the console and enter "kill." He will die. Now, click his corpse in the console, type "showinventory," and you will see he has the Magnum. With the Stranger's corpse still selected, enter the command "unequipitem 50f92" and the Magnum will be unequipped and placed into the Stranger's inventory. Now exit the console and search his corpse. Guess what? You will see his hat, his outfit, a single .44 bullet, and NO MAGNUM. Click the "Take All" button, then check the corpse again... there is nothing showing up in his inventory. Enter the console again, click his corpse to target it, and enter "showinventory" again. Look, he still has his gun in his inventory. It is not equipped, or it would say (EQUIPPED) after it. Search him again if you like... you cannot loot the gun off him no matter how hard you try. So, what's the conclusion? Using console commands, I made the Stranger appear, then made him killable, then killed him. I then forced him to unequip his gun so that it appeared in his regular inventory. And I COULD NOT LOOT IT from his inventory. It cannot be done. Period. And no, there is absolutely no reason to believe that Bethesda would code the gun one way on the PC and a different way on the Xbox (which is really just a PC in a different case). Besides, the same individual who has claimed to have looted the gun on the Xbox version has also claimed to have looted it on the PC version, and we now know that this is literally impossible. He's had his fun, and we've rewarded him with our time and attention... now let's move on with our lives. The facts are the facts, period. 68.53.137.48 13:21, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. He also says that he 'has quick playthroughs' lasting under an hour. He bullshits all over the place. He says that the general from ancorage keeps turning up to kill him. Fat Man Spoon 14:05, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Mysterious indeed. Above, someone else did a test, finding that he's "completely invisible outside of VATS." But of course you two were looking at him in different ways. Jdw 18:39, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but it could be entirely possible he had a bugged version of the game or the disc was scratched. However, him saying he did on the Xbox 360, PC and PS3 versions, I find that to be complete bullshit. 1. On the console versions, where would he get that many caps to make enough Bottlecap Mines? He would need to play nonstop at least a few days(And if he did his Xbox would have RRoD'd), or there's a money glitch he's not talking about. 2. Who would buy all three versions? I would most certainly not, maybe I'd buy a console for a gaame only it has, but Fallout 3 is for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. So, it's unlikely he's telling the truth, in fact most of it is probably complete bullshit, but it is possible he's telling the truth, he may have randomly got a different disc version of the game, which was patched by the devs because they may have wanted not to be able to do that(it may have been a playtester disc or something), so they patched it, and in turn figured "Why not?" and patched everyone else, just in case. 174.130.227.183 19:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

yo what about hex editing it on 360? please tell me yes! :)

oh hell yes, I just hexed it on my 360! >:D

What if explosives make him drop-it (i.e cripal his arm) and another npc picks it up?
 * The game engine prevents the world model of the magnum from being picked up. Nitty 21:56, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Actually, it's not impossible. It's possible to get it on xbox 360 through copious amounts of save game editting. But the point is moot - there's no way to attain it in game

Can't 1 shot followers
Broken Steel makes Fawkes, Dogmeat, and RL-3 near invincible, with 15.000 health, meaning they could survive a shot from the gun. Who wants to test this for me? (I own a PS3). Also, can this be used in VATS?
 * You fergot headshots. Nitty 01:44, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * A sneak-attack crit to the head, with a 100% condition gun and 100% Small Guns and even Superior Defender and Ghoul Ecology, dropped Fawkes to two bars of health. It did not kill him. The second shot did, but ... yeah. This is the only gun I've found that I can kill Fawkes with. User:TA 07:09, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Fawkes has 15000 health (if I recall properly, of course!) at level 30. Just a headshot should have killed him. Nitty Tok. 23:00, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

The mysterious Stranger's 44. magnum WILL NOT KILL LIBERTY PRIME

Umm... I think Liberty Prime CAN'T be killed, even with the kill console command, but IIRC if you shoot him with the Magnum he stops for a few seconds(which might count as a kill). I could be wrong tho...

You're right. I just got done trying to kill him. All the Stranger's magnum did was turn him hostile to me. And since I forgot to turn god mode on he pwned me in one hit. If I used getav health on him it would show 19,254HP before hitting him, and 19,254HP aftewards. TestECull

You can't handle Liberty Prime's LAZ0R B33MZ!

LPrime can only die by script 69.140.35.147 03:11, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hmmmm
is it possible to hex-mod(edit) on the Ps3???would lik to know--Snipitysnipsnip 23:42, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

console command
whats the console command to get his magnum on the 360 vesion????????!??!!?

Doesn't play Guitar Sound
I've tested it, and when it's drawn it just sounds like a regular pistol, and I looked in the GECK and there's nothing that would make seem as if it did play the guitar sound.--96.26.221.70 01:27, November 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is the Fallout 3 Mysterious Stranger's .44 magnum, not the Mysterious Magnum in Fallout: New Vegas. --Kastera (talk) 03:42, November 9, 2011 (UTC)
