Mod Idea: Survivor's Hand (Unique .308 Lever Action Rifle)

Recommended Posts

Based on the Henry Long Ranger (pictured below)/ Browning BLR, this lever action rifle would use a box magazine rather than the tubular magazines seen on other Lever Action weapons in the game. This lowers the ammo capacity to 4, but increases the reload speed and allows the use of armor piercing rounds. As for looks, the Survivor's Hand is a scoped and silenced rifle, with a pearl white front grip and stock. But the main part is the design on the front grip: (from left to right) a red heart with an A inside it, a red diamond with an 8 inside it, a red heart with an 8 inside and a red diamond with an A inside it. This is the opposite of the infamous "Dead Man's Hand", which had an 8 of Spades, Ace of Clubs, Ace of Spades, and 8 of Clubs. As for how to get it (legitimately), you must stop the nukes at the end of Lonesome Road, as the Survivor's Hand will only spawn in the footlocker if you have the Divide Survivor perk (you can, of course, cheat to get it). Thoughts? Opinions? Could this be done?

Underpowered for that kind of time. You are talking about end of LR era, people would have Shoulder Mounted Machine Gun. What does this gun have that a metalstorm of 10mm wont tear down in a hurry?

If you want it to have any, ANY time at all, use, it should be placed from Goodsprings to Mojave Oupost. Even then it still might compete with cowboy repeater and service rifle. But at least it has a chance.

So, possible locations:

Goodsprings? From the pond downhill of Lone Wolf Radio, to Jean Sky Diving Shack, to Ringo's sacked caravan (or even Sloan), to Primm, to Canyon Wreckage, to Hells Motel

It would be covered by Cowboy, for one. And not everyone would want to use heavy weapons like the SMMG. It could also have a high crit multiplier since it is a stealth weapon. It also has access to armor piercing rounds, something Cowboy weapons (with the exception of the 5.56 Pistol and That Gun) lack. It is more about versatility than raw DPS.

I mentioned SMMG as an example of the kind of gun players would have at that time frame. By that criteria, at that time, they would also most likely have access to rifles such as paciencia, Brush gun, Medicine Stick, Riot Shotgun, Lever action shotgun etc... What reason do players have in order to switch to that gun of yours?

New Vegas has one weakness, is that if you leave gun outside of that specific range of choice locations, your guns will have to compete with many alternatives, most of them very good.

You are free to do whatever the heck you want, obviously, as you are leader of your own team and dont have to pay attention to any outsider. Just... take consequence coming from your own design choice, is all~

I guess I would have it be a side grade to Paciencia, being silent, having a scope, one more round available per reload, and being affected by the Cowboy perk (as it is a lever action rifle). I guess I just wanted both a reward for those who stop the nukes and an armor piercing Cowboy weapon that can be silenced.
