Location
It is located in Vault 34's armory (opened with the overseer's terminal), on an overturned table to the right side of the armory. If a human or ghoul companion is following when the armory is accessed, they may pick up the All-American. Also, the ghouls can kick around the weapon, and explosions can send it flying, so if the gun isn't on the table or in a companion's inventory, make sure to search the armory thoroughly.
Notes
- The scope has the same crosshairs and 3.5x magnification as the sniper rifle and the Gobi Campaign scout rifle.
- When experiencing a malfunction with the All-American (or any other weapons which share its reload animation) the Courier will utilize the forward assist to fully seat the bolt carrier group.
Behind the scenes
- Its name is a reference to the 82nd Airborne Division, nicknamed the "All-American" division because upon activation in 1917 it was found to contain draftees from all forty-eight states then recognized.[1]
- The All-American was designed by J.E. Sawyer.[2]
Bugs
When equipped, the Airborne decal on the gun is replaced by a copy of the gun's texture sheet. [verified]- When going into zoom mode with the weapon equipped, a blank terminal screen may come up (re-loading the last save will fix this). [verified]
- When dropped, it can disappear for no apparent reason (re-loading a previous save may fix this). [verified]
