Hey, i came across this glitch after several hours of playing, and realised after a long time of using the novac house and not going to the strip, my 60+ hour character with 20 saves couldn't get into the strip ON ANY OF THE SAVES, as i rarely visit the strip, i didn't notice this glitch and it took over all my saves.

I would just like to say that i love the game, and also i have not got enough time to look through the whole forum to see if this solution has been posted, so if it already has then i am sorry for repeating someone else, and would appreciate it if the trollers out there would leave it be.

Right first of all you need
1. The new vegas 'key needed' glitch
2. A gun of any kind (probably a good idea to have no splash damage)
3. health boosting equipment and the ability to run away as quickly as possible without losing all DT. MK2 combat armour is what i had on.

Right i not sure how this will fare on other xbox's but it worked on mine well
kill a securitron at the gate, and loot the body for a key, and then run.
once you lose the other securitrons fast travel away to anywhere (i went to the 188)
wait for 5 days (difficult in HC mode, but there is a food shop at the 188)
go back and all should be good, and key should fix the glitch

Good luck, hope it works for you

FINGERS CROSSED FOR THAT PATCH NEXT WEEK!

Actually, you can kill a securitron from just outside their detection zone (I go down the street and crouch at the corner of a building at the nearest intersection), The securitrons are surprisingly easy to kill, and the others won't bug you when you loot the body. I've done this twice.

Thanks, so there you go do what he says

Yeah, just walk way down the street and pop one of 'em. The other one's won't care at all. No need for all the running and hiding.
