    There are also nine magazine vending machines in the New Vegas Strip's central section that look like old newspaper machines. You can use each one once to get a randomly chosen magazine. There's only a 7% chance that it'll be a critical chance magazine, so it'll require a whole lot of patience to get nine of them from the machines.
