Defeat Legate Lanius at the Legate’s Camp and loot the blade from his body. You can only access this location near the end of Fallout: New Vegas‘s main questline and you must have sided with Mr. House, the NCR, or Yes Man.

9
Nephi’s Golf Driver
Melee
Northwest of the Samson Rock Crushing Plant, find Nephi at the Fiend’s Rock ruins. Nephi won’t be the only enemy there; best to take them all out, then search for Nephi’s body.
10
Pew Pew
Energy weapon
Enter the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters and speak with the puppet on your left to obtain “The Legend of the Star” quest. Complete that quest (or rather fail the quest — don’t worry, it’s part of the story), then speak with the puppet again to start “A Valuable Lesson”. Enter the hallway right of the bar, then go through the double doors on the left and climb up through the damaged ceiling. On the south side of this floor, find another hole, drop down, and pass through the red double doors. Loot the Pew Pew from the body.

This unique weapon is found in the Sealed Sewers. First, drop down through the manhole in The Torn (the location marked on the map), then enter the large room and take the path in the far left corner. Enter the North Sewers, head southeast for a bit, then take a right turn leading downward into the Central Sewers. Behind the door flanked by red lights, loot “Luke’s Find” from Blind Luke’s body, then turn back and go left, then right, following a lengthy pathway until you find a bunch of enemies behind a barricade made of tires. Go through the door behind them, walk upstairs, and use Luke’s Find to enter (at last!) the Sealed Sewers. The Humble Cudgel is found on a Prospector’s body.
13
Vance’s 9mm submachine gun

In Camp McCarran, loot it from Corporal Sterling. He’ll be walking around the tents. If you don’t want to kill him, you can steal his ammo instead, “reset” the location by teleporting away, and return to find La Longue Carabine in Corporal Sterling’s inventory. Now you can pickpocket this unique Fallout: New Vegas weapon.
17
Cram Opener
Unarmed
Loot this unique weapon from Little Buster in Camp McCarran. He’s usually hitting the training dummy next to old trucks.

All-American/Pulse Gun
Gun/energy weapon
Enter Vault 34, which is at the end of the deep cave system. You have to clear the entire vault first (thereby unlocking the terminals and defeating the Overseer in his office), to gain access to the armory and the equipment room behind it, where you’ll find both weapons. The All-American is on the overturned table, and the Pulse Gun is in the gun case just behind that table. You need Lockpick level 100 to open the case.

Gun
Go to The Devil’s Throat, where you’ll find this unique weapon inside the blue truck, center of the crater.

22
Abilene Kid LE BB gun
Gun
It’s either inside the Field’s Shack (small shack southwest of the Nellis Air Force Base) or, if you have the Wild Wasteland trait (one of the best Fallout: New Vegas traits), inside Jimmy’s Well.

23
Alien Blaster/YCS 186
Energy weapons
East of the Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch and north of the Horowitz Farmstead, you’ll find a mercenary camp. Clear the camp, and one of the tougher enemies will drop the weapon. Beware that players with the Wild Wasteland trait will receive the Alien Blaster, whereas players without that trait shall get the YCS 186 instead.
