Can't Return Companions Gun.

Post » Wed Aug 26, 2009 1:19 am

Entered the Tops Casino to Confront Benny, and Had Boone with me. Upon Entering the Casino they took my guns and my companions Sniper Rifle. The mission up to this point went fine however... When I exited the casino I tryed to give Boone his gun back because for some reason it was placed in my inventory. When I try to give boone his gun back it doesn't appear as an option when it allows us to swap gear. I tryed to also drop the gun from my inventory on the ground to see if boone would pick it up but no luck. It also, once on the ground, will not allow me to pick it back up. Wanted to see if others are having this same issue. I personally have decided not to continue with the game until this issue is resolved or noted as I feel that a companion without their rightful gear is useless and detracts from the experience. Its like having Fawkes from fallout 3 without his loyal gatling gun. On a side note I believe bethesda should remake the game "IHRA Drag Racing 2" that was on the ps2 some years back. By far the best drag racing game in history! Sincerely - The_Zim

I can't see Boon's gun in his inventory period. I can see armor and other stuff like his beret, but not a weapon.

I have this bug too. My only solution is dismiss him back to Novac before you enter the casino if you have a previous save file.

This is a real shame. I haven't had any other problems at all (I guess I'm lucky), but this makes Boone pretty much unusable. Yeah, he's good with a machete, but I prefer him to be picking off Centaurs before they get to me.

Trying to keep his poll bumped because I think it's a really crucial bug. Anyways, also don't have him "wait" outside the casino while you go in. They still remove his weapon because he's considered in your party. Again, dismiss him back to Novac first.

So I have made my own fix for this. I have boon his good gun in his inventory is not visable, but when I go and talk to him and tell him I want to change his tactics to a ranged weapon, his gun appears on his back and he is good to go again. Try that see if it works! I think this works because when you get all your weapons taken away at the casino, when they give them back they are not equiped to you. I am thinking the same goes for your companions, so the way I see this fix working is that it just re-equips his gun.

This fix does not work. It was the first thing I tried. A real fix needs to be in place because as of now, Boon is totally useless except as cannon fodder.

Yeah I'm pretty sure this was the first thing we all tried. We gotta keep this thread bumped because I think it's a really frustrating bug.

I'm pretty sure this guy is the only one who voted "yes." Please withdraw your vote because I really don't think he's been to the casino with Boone yet. From what he posted it sounds like he's just offering his opinion without actually testing it within the game.

I have this problem with boon too - sigh - Looked around the web and havent found a fix for it - i'm 12 hours into play time and i was getting really far IMO. When i went inside to confront ''man-in-checkered-shirt-who-shot-me-in-the-face'' all my guns were taken from me - including boons. When i go out of the casino i have boons (cool) rifle - and if i try to throw it on the ground, he can't pick it up, and i can't pick it up. Boon is freakkin useless as of now.

I do consider myself lucky though, i havent had a freeze yet, but maybe because im only into my 12th hour, and i switch of every 6 hours.

Yes I have had this issue with Veronica, but worse yet once I got ED-E, I was in the Sunset Sarsaparilla plant and lost her completely. People that I talk to seem to see her but I can not. Originally it was a intermittent issue where she would show up in battles and randomly ask my character "Whats up" (Totally annoying every 2 minutes) then it was permanent and I cant even recruit others due to this bug.

Anyone besides myself agree that this is the buggiest Bethesda game to date? I also have a glitch that may prohibit me from finishing the main storyline, Benny is nowhere to be found!!! He's not in the casino anywhere besides I was able to take all my weapons into the Tops casino after talking to swank :-P I am not really wanting to restart my game at level 20, I am not happy.

Yeah this game is definitely the buggiest, and the fact that they're using the Fallout3 engine and didn't improve upon those bugs either really upsets me. Then again, Obsidian oversaw this whole project not Bethesda right?

I took Veronica into the Casino where the White Gloved Society (I think that's what they are called) are and they didn't take her glove thing at all. She was wearing it the entire time. So I don't know if that counts since it's not a gun?

The only problem I had was that I killed someone in there for fun to see what'd happen, I took her outside and then she started crouching like she was ready to fight someone (even though no one followed us outside) and she wouldn't move from that spot and kept saying "Hold on a sec, there's something I want to punch."

I noticed this too and tried to give Boone a gun, any gun! lol

I thought well I'm SOL now because he has been keeping my character alive...

Boone is awesome with that sniper he killed like 5 or 6 deathclaws which would have toasted me for sure... lol

It wasn't until we got into another firefight and 'magically' his sniper was back on his shoulder... huh?
I looked in his inventory and it was not there... odd...

But now for some reason Boone isn't following me anymore... he is with me when I enter new areas, but he just
stands at the entrance and won't follow... I've tried telling him to wait and then follow me again and that does not
work he just stands there, or he'll go running away somewhere else and then he's gone.... strange...

I'm afraid to go into new areas without him wondering if I am going to
have to fight more deathclaws and end up getting killed because my armor is pathetically weak and my guns do almost
nil damage, even after shooting them 10 or more times they still kill me... lol

It must be a common bug because it's happening to me too. I'm wondering why the mods are deleting some of our post when we're posting legit bug issues. I try to take my time out of my day to help people out and I noticed a few post I made in the past were gone, but no big deal. I guess eventually some of the major bugs will get fixed. New Vegas is a great game and I just want it to be bug free I can deal with NPC's falling through floors and stuff like that long as it don't break the main quest. That stuff could be fixed if they implemented a reset actor script after the game loads again.
