Mercenary's grenade rifle

The Mercenary's grenade rifle is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Very similar to other 40mm grenade rifles in the Mojave Wasteland with the only difference in the darker tone of both the wood and metal and its lighter weight. Unlike the majority of unique weapons variants, it can be modded with the Grenade Rifle Long Barrel.

The mercenary's grenade rifle can fire a total of 495 grenades from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Grenade rifle, the common variant.
 * Thump-Thump, a more accurate unique variant of the grenade rifle with a faster rate of fire and the long barrel already attached.
 * Great Bear grenade rifle, a unique variant of the grenade rifle that had more damaging projectiles (no explosions).
 * Red Victory grenade rifle, a unique variant of the grenade rifle with a faster rate of fire.

Locations
Originally, the only way to acquire this weapon was by redeeming the code that came with the pre-order exclusive Mercenary Pack. It can now also be acquired by purchasing the Courier's Stash add-on.

Bugs

 * Damage done by this weapon does not contribute to the 'Aiming is Optional' challenge.

Behind the scenes
The grenade rifle is based on the real world M79 grenade launcher from the early sixties.
