Why does Sonora Cruz have a unique 10mm Pistol that does 100 damage?

As outlined in the wiki, Sonora Cruz has a unique 10mm Pistol that does 100 damage per shot, but it can't be obtained legitimately, and she never uses it since she always flees from battle.

Why do you think the developers gave her such a weapon instead of just a normal 10mm Pistol? Do you think it was a mistake that they accidentally gave her a dev-testing super gun instead of the normal one? An easter egg of some sort? Maybe they meant to give her a unique pistol, but never got around to finishing the weapon?

If I had to give her a legitimate, balanced unique weapon, here's what I'd do. I feel like a revolver fits the whole cowboy vigilante theme better than a 10mm.

  • NAME - The Lawbringer
  • APPEARANCE - A Scoped .44 Magnum minus the scope, with a dark mahogany grip and a cleaner silver finish, engraved with tally marks on the barrel indicating kills.
  • EFFECTS - Cannot zoom in due to the lack of a scope. Weighs 3 rather than 4, has an Item HP of 300 rather than 240, has a spread of 0.5 rather than 0.3 (due to the lack of a scope), and has an AP cost of 30 rather than 32. Does 50% more damage to NPCs with Evil Karma and double damage to NPCs with Very Evil Karma. The crit multiplier also increases to x2.5 against Evil NPCs and x3 against Very Evil NPCs.
  • OBTAINING - Can be obtained by killing or disarming Sonora Cruz, although if you are an evil character, she'll do a ton of damage to you. Alternatively, if you turn in 50 Fingers to her, as well as Junders Plunkett's finger, she will give you the gun as a reward.

Not sure if anyone's played this but it's on my top 3 dlc sized mods for fo3, love the story and the voice acting was slightly better than Alton (although understandable because Alton was an old mod, which made it remarkably good for the time)

If I have the base game and I buy GOTY, do I keep my save? (xbox)

Its on sale at the moment and cheaper to buy GOTY than individual DLCs…

Hello how do I fix this?

I have the same problem with lockpicking interface too. All white textures.

I have a i3 1215u, 8gb, Integrated graphics system.

I have the integrated graphics bypass mod installed.

Someone said DxVK would fix it. But I see that it's a mod preconfigured for FNV, so before I break my save game just wanted to try if any other solution is there.

Thank you!

Edit: I have tried installing DxVK, but the mod dll is the same as the bypass mod dll, so how do i deal with that? I have a low end laptop and really want to play this awesome game so please help me out.

EDIT 2: Finally cracked the code guys,
1. DXVK was all i needed but there's a catch. The problem was i was trying to use the latest version, but my Vulkan support was for 1.3. Just remember to download the correct DXVK version.
2. Or if you feel tired, download all, and try pasting each d3d9.dll into the game root folder to see which works.
thank You for having patience with my problem. Reddit Community is so Awesome. Have a great day Guys!!
