The Abilene Kid LE BB gun is a variant of the standard [[BB gun (Fallout: New Vegas)|BB gun]], on both sides of the weapon's stock is the inscription "''Abilene Kid ~Limited Edition~ 1 of 200.''". Although it shows no obvious significant differences to the standard version when examined in the player's [[Pip-Boy]], the Abilene variant is far more useful. In addition to a slightly higher [[critical chance]], the [[Fallout: New Vegas weapons|weapon]] has a dramatically higher critical [[damage]] bonus, boasting an astounding 70 points of added damage for a critical hit. With the [[Better Criticals]] [[Fallout: New Vegas perks|perk]] a critical hit from the Abilene Kid LE BB gun is on par with one from a [[Hunting rifle (Fallout: New Vegas)|hunting rifle]], doing 109 damage total compared to the hunting rifle's 113.

Due to its relatively low critical chance multiplier the Abilene Kid LE BB gun cannot be relied upon to be effective in normal combat without additional critical chance modifiers, such as the [[Finesse]] perk or [[True Police Stories]] [[Fallout: New Vegas skill magazines|skill magazine]]. It can be considered more useful for stealth-based players who can rely on achieving [[sneak attack critical]]s regularly, further enhanced by the fact that the weapon is classified as silent.

Like the standard BB gun, the Abilene Kid LE BB gun has a comparatively (to other rifle weapons) high [[spread]] outside of [[Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System|V.A.T.S.]] and low base to-hit chance in V.A.T.S.

The Abilene Kid LE BB gun is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics

Abilene kid LE BB gun expanded

The Abilene Kid LE BB gun is a variant of the standard BB gun, on both sides of the weapon's stock is the inscription "Abilene Kid ~Limited Edition~ 1 of 200." Although it shows no significant differences to the standard version when examined in the Pip-Boy 3000, it has a slightly higher Critical Chance and a significantly higher critical damage bonus, boasting an astounding 70 points of added damage for a critical hit. With the Better Criticals perk, a critical hit from the Abilene Kid LE BB gun is on par with one from a sniper rifle, doing 109 damage total compared to the sniper rifle's 113, and if the perk Just Lucky I'm Alive is also picked, the critical hit gets a boost of 125% of damage, making the Abilene Kid LE BB gun deal 157 points of damage.

Due to its relatively low critical chance multiplier, the Abilene Kid LE BB gun cannot be relied upon to be effective in normal combat without additional critical chance modifiers, such as the Finesse perk or the True Police Stories skill magazine. It can be considered more useful for stealth-based player characters who can rely on achieving Sneak Attack Criticals regularly, further enhanced by the fact that the weapon is classified as silent.

Like the standard BB gun, the Abilene Kid LE BB gun has a comparatively (to other rifles) high spread, which makes the weapon somewhat impractical to use for anything beyond mid-range attacks.

Durability

The Abilene Kid LE BB gun can fire a total of about 495 BBs, the equivalent of 5 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Locations

  • It can be found in Fields' shack, southwest of Nellis Air Force Base. The shack is right next to the main road leading into the base. The gun is sitting on one of the shelves on the left wall.
  • If the Wild Wasteland trait is active, the gun will instead be located inside a well that appears in front of the shack. The well appears after talking to Rex upon him saying "aroo" and asking him if someone fell down a well. Doing this will activate a map marker denoting the location of Jimmy's well.

Notes

  • After obtaining the gun from Fields' shack, it is possible to receive another gun at Jimmy's well by using the Auto-Doc in The Sink in the add-on Old World Blues to add the Wild Wasteland trait.
  • If the gun is obtained from Field's shack it will be at 90% health, whereas the version found in Jimmy's well will appear at 100% health.
  • Unlike the common BB Gun, the Abilene Kid LE BB Gun can cause decapitations and explosions of limbs.
  • With a relatively high critical chance (~25%, which can be achieved with 10 Luck, Finesse (perk), Elite riot gear, and the 1st Recon beret) and Better Criticals, the Abilene Kid LE BB gun can out DPS the Bozar (GRA) and the Anti-materiel rifle (GRA) against targets with a Damage Threshold of around 25.

Behind the scenes

  • The "Abilene Kid" was the youngest lead role in the 1948 movie 3 Godfathers, William Kearney, played by Harry Carey Jr.
  • The Abilene Kid LE BB gun was conceived by Joshua Sawyer, and is a throwback to the Red Ryder LE BB gun.[1]
  • This itself is a reference to a trope related to the television series Lassie. The trope has a character deciphering Lassie's barking to mean that her owner Timmy fell down a well. In actuality, the series never featured this particular situation though Lassie did regularly have to get help for the accident-prone boy.

  1. Who came up with the Abilene Kid in New Vegas? It's surprisingly useful for some situations.
    Joshua Sawyer: I did, though it was really just a throwback to the Red Ryder LE. The Abilene Kid isn't particularly accurate, but if you have a critical hit-oriented build, it can be really powerful from a hidden state.
