Forum:SECRET SNIPER RIFLE AND AMMO---VERY USEFUL!!!

It's south east of megaton to the right of the road. its hidden in a "hollowed stone" I got 300 308. rounds as a level 30 it was awesome!!

MAKE SURE TO HAVE SCAVENGER PERK!! WITH IT YOU GET DOUBLE THE AMOUNT..

how did you get to level 30? what system where you using?

level 30? really? Thehunter54565 01:24, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Maybe he is saying the gun does 30 damage...but that doesn't sound right either. Unless he was making a point to say he was level 30 just to get people to wander what he was doing...doesn't matter. The gun is there, and it is a decent sniper rifle. Don't worry about the scavenger perk...there is plenty of the correct ammo laying around. Gsmikem 23:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Pix plz? -- Cheese Talk to the Cheese 19:26, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Are you talking about the Reservist Rifle??? I believe there is more than one of those. The one I got was from some dude in the church trying to kill me...


 * No. This is just the early sniper rifle you can pick up SW of Megaton. I've grabbed it every playthrough prior to Minefield myself. --DarkJeff 16:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

(possible spoiler) Don't kill the sniper at Minefield...he can be made into a slave for Paradise Falls. Gsmikem 18:37, 16 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yea, he's the EASIEST one to slave.Firelance 17:41, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip. Are there many of these types of caches hidden around the wasteland? (Maybe the OP meant level 3 instead of 30.) --Darkbrew7 13:50, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Every weapon in the game seems to have a location where its just sitting, unclaimed, waiting for you. People have listed "known locations" for most weapons, check their individual pages for listings. --AshRandom 16:20, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I just grabbed sniper rifle. It is southeast of megaton, within a few yards from the outside wall of the town. In the "hollowed stone" is a note called "As Requested" with the following message:

"S,

Here's that stuff you wanted. If anyone asks where you got it -- say it was a gift from your grandma.

Happy Hunting!

E"

Could S be south and E be east? LVTDUDE 23:29, 31 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Nah, LVTDUDE, I'm pretty sure that's just flavour text. 167.192.121.160 13:38, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure theres only one reservists rifle. Theres also the Victory rifle


 * You can get multiple Reservist Rifles if you use a little trick (shoot the gun out of the guy's hands, take it, leave, wait 73 hours, come back, get another). I used this trick to equip charon & clover as snipers. The Victory Rifle is one of the high level weapons (like the Firelance) that NPCs seem to have a tiny random chance of spawning with (Talon Company in my case).
