Christine's CoS silencer rifle is a unique weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.
Background[]
CoS silencer rifle expanded
The rifle was the primary armament of Christine Royce, an assassin of the Circle of Steel, during her mission to hunt down and assassinate the rogue former elder of the Mojave Brotherhood of Steel, Father Elijah. She possessed it for as long as until she located Elijah near the Little Yangtze prisoner camp in Big MT, using a nearby ruined building as a sniper nest to observe him. She left it there when she attempted to assassinate him but failed and was captured by robots that took her to the Y-17 medical facility, where it remained even after Christine survived her ordeal and left Big MT, until the Courier's arrival in 2281.[1]
Characteristics[]
Compared to the standard sniper rifle, the CoS silencer rifle has a pre-installed suppressor and 3.5x-magnification scope, does significantly more damage per shot, has a slower rate of fire which equals a higher damage-per-second (DPS) value, has a slightly higher critical chance multiplier, deals much more critical hit damage, costs more AP, has the same spread, has more durability, has less weight than the standard but more than the modified, and has a higher caps value than the standard but lower than the modified. Like most unique weapons, weapon modifications cannot be used on it.
In terms of appearance, the weapon is almost physically identical to the standard save for having a pre-installed suppressor, a darker color scheme, and the scope has a slight purple hue.
Durability[]
Christine's CoS silencer rifle can fire a total of about 420 standard rounds, the equivalent of 84 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Location[]
The weapon is located in the ruined building situated on the outside of the northwest corner of Little Yangtze, on the second floor next to some ammunition, in the ordinal northwest of Big MT.
Notes[]
- Three lobotomites will spawn to the north of the building once the rifle is picked up. They will initially be facing away, allowing briefly for a sneak attack.
- If the player character reads Elijah's notes in his base in the adjacent watchtower, he mentions spotting a glint of light from the other side of the compound from his workshop, in the direction of Christine's sniper nest. Elijah initially suspected it to be the courier he met previously, but discounts it as unbecoming of him. It can be inferred this was light reflecting off the scope of the rifle while Christine was observing her target.
- In terms of base damage per shot, the CoS silencer rifle is the most powerful .308-chambered weapon in the game. Only Paciencia beats it in having the highest critical hit damage for .308-chambered weapons.
- With all respective damage bonuses applied to every weapon, this gun deals the highest single-shot damage of all silenced firearms in the game.
- It is one of a few unique weapons to share the same model and color as its original counterpart, silencer aside.
