Die Buschbüchse ist eine Waffe in Fallout: New Vegas.
Charakteristiken
The main rifle of the New California Republic (NCR) Veteran Ranger, the brush gun is a lever-action rifle firing .45-70 Gov't ammunition. It has a peep sight similar to the cowboy repeater and the battle rifle, though smaller and much less intrusive. Due to the gun having a tubular magazine, it is reloaded by hand one bullet at a time, as such it can be interrupted mid-way through reloading and fired if needed. Because of this, it gives the gun the added advantage of being quickly available to fire again if only a single/few rounds are needed.
Verwendung
High damage output, minimal spread, and a moderate firing rate make this gun a very powerful and accurate weapon. However, it uses .45-70 Gov't rounds, which are 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 of all the weapons that use this ammunition. When loaded with .45-70 SWC (hand load) rounds, this can be a very effective weapon to use against high level opponents, such as deathclaws and super mutants.
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 is also much easier to use as it does not feature a large scope and has a much faster re-chamber time. Despite the long reload, there is an exploit one can use: when reloading, double-tap the hot-key for changing ammunition types and the magazine should be completely reloaded.
Modifikationen
- Brush gun forged receiver: increases weapon condition by 50%.
Varianten
- Medizin-Stick, a unique version purchased from Vendortron at the Gun Runners if Gun Runners' Arsenal has been installed.
Fundorte
- 188 trading post - Alexander occasionally sells one.
- Gun Runners - Vendortron sells one.
- Hidden Valley bunker armory - can sometimes be purchased there.
- NCR Veteran Rangers - commonly found carrying a brush gun.
- Also can be found on Great Khans, specifically at Red Rock Canyon or sometimes in the Great Khan armory if you have positive Reputation. Buying it in the armory is cheaper than anywhere else in the Mojave Wasteland.
- With the Honest Hearts Add-On, brush guns are commonly found on White Legs warriors at higher levels (20-25+).
- One of the Legionary assassins may carry a brush gun (level 21 onwards).
- With the Old World Blues Add-On, brush guns commonly found on lobotomites at high levels (40-50).
Infos
- 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.
- Even though it is widely used by Veteran Rangers of the NCR, it will clip with NCR Ranger combat armor, probably due to an oversight.
- Although there is a buttstock cartridge holder on the stock of the gun, no bullets will be placed inside it once your character acquires the ammunition.
- For players sided with the NCR, the easiest way to obtain the brush gun fairly early (Level 20+) is to become Vilified by the Legion as their Assassins will carry them in most situations.
- 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 players. (Level 20-25+)
- Even after completing the Old World Blues Add-On, it is possible for players who are Level 40 or higher to loot an unlimited number of brush guns from lobotomites, as it is a fairly common lobotomite weapon.
Hinter den Kulissen
- The brush gun is not based on one gun specifically, but is based on both the Winchester 1886 and Marlin Guide Gun respectively.[1]
Bugs
- Sometimes when reloading the weapon in third person view, you may not see the usual lever action.
- Sometimes a serious bug will affect the weapon's shooting capabilities, making every bullet hit about 20 feet to the right of where you are aiming. Also this bug affects the iron sights, as you can not see them when you zoom in.
- 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 you give this weapon to a companion. This can be fixed for the player character by changing the ammunition type again.
- As with all lever action weapons, a bug exists where if one changes ammunition types twice consecutively, the weapon returns to having a full clip in the ammunition type that was selected.
- When modding this weapon with the brush gun forged receiver, and repairing it with a Weapon Repair Kit to full condition, the condition will raise to 150%, instead of making it degrade at a slower rate. basically making it 100% for much longer (Fixed in 1.06)
- A brush gun with the forged receiver mod attached will actually degrade in condition when a weapon repair kit is used on it.
- Sometimes the lever may remain downward if holstered immediately after firing. Simply drawing and holstering the weapon again will fix this.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 upclose enemies such as nightstalkers, and cyberdogs.
