Fallout: New Vegas Hints

CZ57 Avenger

  • 1 of 5: This unique minigun has the following advantages over regular miniguns: 8.3% more damage, 8.3% more critical damage, 25% more health, 16.7% fewer action points required, 50% faster firing rate, 45% narrower spread, 28% lighter. It also has the following disadvantage: 50% smaller clip size.
  • 2 of 5: You'll find it at The Devil's Throat (location 22 on the Zone 2 Map).
  • 3 of 5: It's in the back of the container trailer, next to a dead prospector. (Note that the whole area is highly radioactive.)
  • 4 of 5: This gun is *the* number one most powerful automatic weapon in the game, though a gatling laser with all the mods may be a bit better if your Energy Weapons skill is way higher than your Guns skill. You can't add any mods to the Avenger, but you can load it with armor-piercing rounds to make it even more effective against armored targets like deathclaws.
  • 5 of 5: The Gun Runners vendortron (location 43 on the Zone 1 Map) and Alexander at the 188 Trading Post (location 36 on the Zone 2 Map) get a large quantity of 5mm armor-piercing rounds in every few days, so keep checking back with them.
