The Codac R9000 is a "weapon" and quest item in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
Before the Great War, the Codac company developed cameras that were capable of taking high-resolution, colored photographs as well as being sturdy enough to survive a nuclear apocalypse, as at least two were still in a functional condition after around 200 years, used to photograph the ruined Bakersfield as well as various landmarks around the Mojave Wasteland.
Characteristics[]
The "weapon" behaves similarly to a firearm, though it has no offensive capability and can only be used to zoom in as if looking through a scope and "shooting" with camera film.
Location[]
The "weapon" is given by Michael Angelo during Classic Inspiration in order to take photographs of Camp McCarran, the Sunset Sarsaparilla headquarters, the Bison Steve Hotel, Dinky the T-Rex, and HELIOS One.

Notes[]
- The Codac R9000's "scope" reticule is similar to the one used with the laser rifle scope, holorifle scope, and the Red Glare scope.
- It can be used in V.A.T.S. but it has an abnormally high AP cost of 1000 AP.
- Equipping the camera holsters it as if it were a usable weapon. In third person mode, the camera will clip into the Courier's leg slightly.
- Its recoil and reload animations are similar to that of the 10mm pistol.
- The Codac R9000 actually fires invisible projectiles that deal no damage and will not anger the person "shot." This can be seen by firing it at the water, where it will cause ripples. Companions will still remark on how the player is "wasting ammunition."
- Photographing the Boulder City Memorial will anger Private Kowalski and trigger Defacing the Humble Stone.
- If on the Strip and taking a picture around Securitrons, they will not become hostile but will note that the use of the camera is still "disturbing the peace" on the Strip.
- The camera will not be confiscated upon entering a casino, and equipping or firing it will not turn any of the casino staff hostile.
Behind the scenes[]
- The R9000's manufacturer, Codac, is a reference to the real-life Kodak, which developed the first roll film cameras.
- The Codac company's name appeared on the Necropolis town map background in the original Fallout.
- An unnamed Codac R9000 appears in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas as a miscellaneous category item and is simply named camera.
Bugs[]
- On the PC, it can be removed from the inventory by using the console command SetQuestObject 0011a208 0. If the first command doesn't work, you can use player.RemoveItem 0011a208 1.
The camera is a quest item and because of this it cannot be discarded when the quest is completed, and unfortunately due to a bug it is not removed when the quest is turned in either. [verified]
- hunting rifle (even without the Jury Rigging perk). [verified] This weapon can be repaired with a
- Dead Money add-on to crash at the beginning, due to the script removing all items from the player inventory. Due to the camera being marked as a quest item, it cannot be removed by the script and may cause a crash. Running the above console command to revert its quest item status fixed it.
