The Gauss rifle is an advanced sniper rifle included in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage.

背景[]

详见高斯步枪条目。

特征[]

这种武器使用一组十一个电磁线圈将2mm的弹药加速到一个恐怖的速度,命中致命一击时会直接将敌人打翻在地。

和德制的M72高斯步枪不同,which uses 2mm EC magazines containing both batteries and ammunition, 这款高斯步枪的供能电池并没有和弹匣放置在一起,而是需要武器的使用者每射击一次就更换一次微型核融电池包[1]命中时会产生一种奇特的“爆炸”效果, dealing minor splash damage.

The Gauss rifle has greater reliability per shot than the Victory rifle for knocking down enemies, but its buggy V.A.T.S. performance and low magazine size 使得它在近距离上十分地被动。

Durability[]

The Gauss rifle can fire a total of about 375 shots from full condition before breaking.

Variants[]

  • Sim version (Operation: Anchorage add-on) - A sim-only version of the weapon which differs only in health (essentially non-degrading).
  • Gauss rifle - There is a beta version of the Gauss rifle that uses the model of a laser rifle and features a five round magazine. It does only about 25% of the damage of the final version, but has a 100% knockdown chance. It is only obtainable through console commands.

Locations[]

In the Capital Wasteland:

In the Anchorage Reclamation simulation:

  • During The Guns of Anchorage quest, a paratrooper gets shot down by Chinese soldiers, and leaves behind a Gauss rifle. However, the gun will be removed from the inventory upon completing the quest.
  • One can be obtained from the Quartermaster at the U.S. Army field headquarters after successfully passing a Speech check (requires at least 50 Speech).
  • One can also be found on an American power armored soldier during the fight with General Jingwei.

Notes[]

  • The version acquired from the VSS Armory cannot be equipped by companions or any other non-player character, but the simulation version obtained through the glitches or console commands can.
  • With 100 Energy Weapons skill, the scope does not sway, the same as with other sniper rifles with the Small Guns skill.
  • The Gauss rifle is one of the few Energy Weapons that does not disintegrate the target when they are killed with a critical hit.
  • Even though it does have a very large 2mm round magazine located on the right of the gun, no matter how many shots are fired, it never needs to be replaced or reloaded. Only the microfusion cells used to charge the 2mm rounds need to be reloaded.
  • Although this is quite a powerful ranged rifle, its firing and reload times are extremely long. It should be treated as a bolt action sniper rifle.
  • This weapon can only be obtained once without glitches or console commands, so it can only be repaired with alien epoxy (a Mothership Zeta item) or asking an NPC to do the repairs.
  • With the Finesse perk, nearly every shot fired (V.A.T.S. or not) will score a critical. This is useful against enemies like super mutant overlords, feral ghoul reavers, Enclave Hellfire troopers, albino radscorpions, and aliens. This is also an ideal way to take out super mutant behemoths as the high damage combined with the knockdown effect makes it more useful than even the Victory rifle since the high damage means fewer shots are required to kill.
  • If a target's weapon were to be shot and broken with a critical hit, the enemy will go flying several feet without taking any fall damage.
  • Although Gauss rifles are seen on Chinese propaganda posters throughout the Anchorage simulation, none of the Chinese soldiers carry one.
  • It is sometimes advantageous to switch to a melee weapon while the enemy is knocked down to finish them off. This is especially true due to the slow fire rate and reload speeds.

Bugs[]

  • Has platform::PCPC The scope on the Gauss rifle, like on the sniper rifle, is not perfectly zeroed. The shot will travel up and to the right of the target at extreme distances. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Occasionally, shots dealt from the Gauss rifle will not do damage, regardless of the type of hit it was (crippling hit, critical strike, sneak attack critical). However, it can still knock down enemies and cripple them. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC This weapon does not deal proper damage when in V.A.T.S. Any hit will do exactly 95.244% of the maximum damage, regardless of enemy DR, critical hits, or sneak attacks. This means that, with 100 Energy Weapons, a Gauss rifle shot will do 95.244 points of damage with every V.A.T.S. shot. This is still lower than free aiming, and no bonuses are applied to headshots. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Being knocked down, either by a gas explosion or a frag grenade, the Gauss rifle may go flying. It will stay wherever it lands, and pulling the trigger will cause the rifle to fire from wherever it landed. This can also be achieved if the impact of the rifle's shots are too close and knock the weapon out of the character's hands. Holstering the weapon has no effect. Equipping another weapon will fix the issue. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Having any type of power armor equipped at the same time the rifle is equipped, the air tanks and valve on the armor will disappear. This is because it has the "hide backpack" flag marked, despite not having a backpack component like other weapons with this flag (minigun, Gatling laser, etc.). [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Critical shots to the target's weapon will still knock them down. [已验证]
  • Has platform::PCPC Critical shots that do not kill will occasionally cause the target to fall through the map. [已验证]
  • Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 Sometimes in V.A.T.S when firing there will be a slight delay for firing but the firing sound will be normal, like when reloading and the sound for it is already done. [已验证]
  • Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 Sometimes if the Gauss rifle is fired straight down when standing, the view will switch to third person and the rifle will be knocked out of one's hands until the reload animation finishes. It usually takes more than one shot since it does not always do damage. [已验证]

  1. We did it this way because we knew we wanted to have an energy weapon equivalent of the sniper rifle, but also have it be consistent with other fictional versions of the Gauss rifle, including the one known in the Fallout universe. We also knew it had to use and existing ammunition type, since the player was going to get access to the Gauss rifle in the Wasteland, and would need to be able to find ammunition for it. It didn't feel right using the sniper rifle ammunition (we had considered it), and instead opted to "power" the weapon with the microfusion cell, but (fictionally) have it fire a standard slug, which is already pre-loaded into the weapon. - Emil Pagliarulo in the Bethesda Game Studios forum
