The brush gun is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background[]

"Brush gun" is an informal umbrella term used to refer to any large-caliber, lever-action hunting carbine.

Characteristics[]

Brush gun blown up

One of the main rifles of the NCR Veteran Rangers, the brush gun is a lever-action rifle firing .45-70 Gov't ammunition. The brush gun has two types of sights on it. Due to the gun's tubular magazine, it is reloaded by hand one bullet at a time, allowing the player character to interrupt reloading mid-way. This allows the weapon to be fired before reloading is complete.

High damage output, low spread, and a moderate firing rate make this gun a very powerful and accurate weapon. It chambers the .45-70 Gov't round, one of the rarest ammunition types in the game. In spite of this, the brush gun uses this ammunition quite efficiently: it has the highest damage per shot and damage per second of all the weapons that use this ammunition. The iron sights are somewhat large and obstructive, meaning that it is difficult to track fast-moving enemies like cazadores. When loaded with hand loaded semi-wadcutter rounds, this can be a very effective weapon to use against high-level targets, such as deathclaws and super mutants.

Durability[]

The brush gun can fire a total of about 745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 125 reloads, from full condition before breaking. When modified with the forged receiver, it can fire a total of about 1120 standard rounds, the equivalent of 187 reloads. Template:Durability table

Locations[]

  • 188 Trading Post - Can occasionally be purchased from Alexander.
  • Gun Runners - The Vendortron sells one.
  • Hidden Valley bunker armory - Can sometimes be purchased from Knight Torres.
  • NCR Veteran Rangers - Commonly found carrying a brush gun.
  • Can also be sold at Red Rock Canyon by the Great Khan armorer if the Courier has a positive reputation with the Khans. Buying it in the armory is cheaper than anywhere else in the Mojave Wasteland.
  • One of the legionary assassins may carry a brush gun (level 21 onwards).
  • Honest Hearts Brush guns are commonly found on White Legs warriors at higher levels (20-25+).
  • Old World Blues (add-on) Brush guns can commonly be found on lobotomites at high levels (40-50).
  • Lonesome Road (add-on) Brush guns can be found on marked men at high levels (30-40).

Notes[]

  • Its damage is on par with that of the anti-materiel rifle loaded with armor piercing rounds and boasts almost three times the damage-per-second when used with the Cowboy perk. It can be a much more effective weapon to use as it does not feature a large scope and has a much faster cyclic rate of fire.
  • The rifle uses the texture of the unused 'Trail Carbine Custom Stock' for its in-game appearance with the addition of a leather buttstock cover and an adjustable rear sight.
  • Although there is a butt-stock cartridge holder on the stock of the weapon, no cartridges will appear to be placed inside it, regardless of the player character's ammunition count.
  • As long as the main storyline for the Honest Hearts add-on has not been completed, the White Legs can provide an unlimited supply of brush guns to moderate level player characters (level 20-25+).
  • Even after completing the Old World Blues add-on, it is possible to continuously loot brush guns from lobotomites, who commonly carry them.
  • The rounds inserted into the rifle differ in appearance to the .45-70 Gov't cartridges loaded into the hunting revolver and its variants.

Behind the scenes[]

The brush gun is not based on a particular rifle, but is influenced by guns such as the Winchester 1886[Non-canon 1] and Marlin Guide gun.[Non-canon 2]

Bugs[]

  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 Sometimes when reloading the weapon in third-person view, one may not see the usual lever action. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 Sometimes a serious bug will affect the weapon's shooting capabilities, making every bullet hit about 20 feet to the right of where the player character is aiming. Also, this bug affects the iron sights, as the player character cannot see them when zooming in. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 When changing ammunition types this weapon could be caught in a reload loop, this is also common on the cowboy repeater and trail carbine and also happens when giving this weapon to a companion. This can be fixed for the player character by changing the ammunition type again. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 As with all lever-action weapons, a bug exists where if one changes ammunition types twice consecutively, the weapon returns to having a full magazine in the ammunition type that was selected. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 When modding this weapon with the brush gun forged receiver, and repairing it with a Weapon Repair Kit to full condition, the condition will rise to 150%, instead of making it degrade at a slower rate. basically making it 100% for much longer (Fixed in 1.06). [已驗證]
  • Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 A brush gun with the forged receiver mod attached will actually degrade in the condition when a weapon repair kit is used on it. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::PCPC Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 Sometimes the lever may remain downward if holstered immediately after firing. Simply drawing and holstering the weapon again will fix this. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 Reloading in third-person mode while moving even at a snail's pace will show the reload animation without cycling the lever once reloading is finished. This happens even if the reload was interrupted mid-way. Also, the lever will remain in a lowered position until you zoom in, put it away, etc. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Sometimes firing multiple shots in V.A.T.S. will cause the brush gun to rapidly fire all shots while still zoomed on the player, resulting in zero damage to the enemies. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::Playstation 3Playstation 3Playstation 3 Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 In V.A.T.S. mode when firing multiple shots, the brush gun will randomly miss enemies with each shot even with multiple two-handed weapon perks, 100 to Guns skill, and aiming at the same body part. This is especially common when dealing with up-close enemies such as night stalkers, and cyberdogs. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 The reload animation of lever-action weapons does not have a corresponding jam animation, so the weapon will not jam, even at near-breaking conditions. [已驗證]
  • Has platform::Xbox 360Xbox 360 The forged receiver has a low-poly texture.[驗證逾期]
