Bring a HalluciGen Canister to Fred Allen (Bug\Glitch)

Post » Fri Dec 11, 2015 5:38 am

I already cleared the HalluciGen, Inc. building, and ended up picking up all the HelluciGen Gas Canisters on my way out. I stored them in my Sanctuary, and only recently noticed that there's a quest marker in Sanctuary that reads "Bring a HalluciGen Canister to Fred Allen".
The only problem is, the gas canisters are marked as "Junk" and so I've already accidentally used them when crafting something. There's none in my inventory nor my workshop. I also can't get HalluciGen, Inc. bulding to respawn (however I'm pretty sure items that aren't in containers don't respawn anyway); I've slept a week and a half in game, after at least 2 weeks have also passed since I cleared the area out, and it still has the "CLEARED" tag.
Is there really no other way to get these cans? I mean, the quest aside, these cans are required for crafting HaluciGen Gas Grenades...Did they really not think about the fact that the player could only craft up to 8 grenades total when they programmed this?
Anybody know if there's any solution?
Please think about how to avoid this problem in the next patch.

If an item is crucial to a quest, it will be marked as such. And as such, you will not be able to remove it from your inventory. Therefore, it is safe to say that if you continue searching, you will more than likely come across more Hallucigen Canisters somewhere else in the game. It could be that they even appear in vendor inventories at some point. It may take a while though, as it's not a common item. If you absolutely must have one now and you play on PC, type this in the console:

player.additem E69AF 1

The 1 indicates the number to add, you could add 100 if you wanted.
