Binoculars have a magnification of 2.43. Due to their low magnification, it is generally preferable to use a scoped weapon, if available, as they can have magnifications of up to 3.5 and allow for immediate engagement of any spotted targets.
Binoculars have a magnification of x2.43, equivalent to the [[Bozar (GRA)|Bozar]] or [[hunting revolver]].

Binoculars are classified as a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics

Binoculars are equipped and holstered like a weapon, but cannot be used offensively. When drawn, using the same zoom function found on scoped weapons will allow the player character to look through them.

Binoculars have a magnification of 2.43. Due to their low magnification, it is generally preferable to use a scoped weapon, if available, as they can have magnifications of up to 3.5 and allow for immediate engagement of any spotted targets.

  • Bison Steve Hotel - On a ledge above the front entrance. It can be reached by walking along the broken roller coaster track visible to the left when facing the door.
  • Sloan - Can be stolen from a table near the northern sandbag barrier on the road.
  • Ranger station Echo - On a crate at the northeast sandbag lookout.
  • Mojave Outpost - There are two pairs that can be stolen. One can be found on the roof of the barracks with Ranger Ghost, on a table. The second pair can be found at the southeast of the outpost near the gate to Long 15, in a small guard post to the left of the gate.
