Forum:12.7mm pistol and a sniper rifle at Hoover Dam?

I am following a stealth build, its recommends that I get 3 things from the Hoover Dam. The Chinese stealth armor, which I have found, and a 12.7mm pistol and a sniper rifle. I can't find either of these at the dam. Any suggestions?

I can't help you with this, but I can tell you sniper rifles are pretty easy to find, you shouldn't have trouble finding one some where.Pappy002 04:25, May 17, 2011 (UTC) 12.7 pistol can be found carried by some of the NCR troops, best way to acquire one is to reverse pick-pocket a grenade or dynamite onto one. if you VATS and target the weapons it will show which ones have the 12.7 pistol. Sniper rifle may be similar HOWEVER there also is one (in poor condition) at Camp McCarren, on the top bunk of the tent where the 1st Reconn snipers hang out (row of tents closest to the gate to El Ray motel, 2nd tent from the doors to the terminal building) which is not owned and can just be picked up.75.67.224.12 09:07, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Just go buy them from the gun runners kiosk near Freeside. ReapTheChaos 03:19, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

The Gun Runners is a viable albeit expensive option, off the top of my head i'd say you should get a 1/3-1/2 condition sniper rifle from the arms merchant at the 188 trading post, she sells .308 guns and ammo quite reliably. As for the 12.7 pistol go kill a Khan at Red Rock, at mid to high levels i'll guarantee you can find a generic Khan with one there.

Well if you go the Gun Runners Kiosk near Freeside, pick the lock on the gate there and kill the two guards patrolling around outside, you can sell their armor/weapons to the vendortron and make enough to buy both weapons (depending on Barter skill) if you don’t make enough the first time, fast travel away, wait 72 hours and go back and do it again.

HOWEVER there also is one (in poor condition) at Camp McCarren, on the top bunk of the tent where the 1st Reconn snipers hang out - Not in my game. (did you mean 12.7mm pistol or sniper rifle?). HughesJohn 08:45, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * sniper rifle in Camp McCarren (the bunk beds has two magazines on the floor below it, sometime the rifle falls through the bunk beds if you bump it). 12.7mm pistol can be found always in the Bloodborne cavern but the legendary night stalker doesn't make it easy to get at lower levels (and when you can get past the legendary night stalker you can find 12.7mm pistols on random encounters).  They are scripted locations and unless the game has been modded the guns should always be there although I haven't checked post-HH.75.67.224.12 08:50, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Odd, I'm level 16 and didn't find the sniper rifle at McCarren. Did snarf the skillbooks though.  Have to have another look. HughesJohn 08:57, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
