So I read in another topic about how a guy went with Boone to go rescue some Rangers from an enemy encampment and both of them had silencers on their weapons and where able to wipe up everyone without anyone even knowing they were dead! Thought it was a great idea so I got to Varmint Rifles and moded them with silencers (as they were the only mod I could find for them). Gave one to boon with about 400 ammo. And he absolutly refuses to use it over his gun. Do I need to fully mod out the gun before it's better than Boone's regular rifle and thus for him to use it?

A varmint rifle will never be better than a unique hunting rifle. You'll need to find a sniper rifle.

lolololololololololol

Definitely need something else.

The Damage needs to be higher than his Rifle he has atm.

And you can't get his rifle.

Ok then I suppose my second question is are there any silenced sniper rifles?

sniper rifle + carbon fiber frame + suppressor = WIN?

So yeah, there is.

I also do not think the A.M.R has any mods for it.

Actually you can get Boone's rifle.

I acquired it, and I am as PS3 player so no mods.

Im not sure how I did though, and its a pretty good looking gun, though I cant find ammo for it.. :sadvaultboy:

On topic: Boone is just so awesome no one can replace his rifle. Boone does what he wants, when he wants.

Yeah, there's some kind of bug where you can acquire it by accident when going in and out of a place that strips you of your weapons. It's not supposed to happen though and apparently if you drop the gun you can't pick it up again.

Sweet. I have no idea what level those mods are going to pop for me but I can't wait to get them!

Yup happened to me. Should have just sold it....

So I just walked half a mile just holding it in mid air just for the laughs...

Good times.. :celebration:

Just for the giggles, take his beret and listen what he has to say about it. ^_^

For a pack mule, Boone is pretty pissy.

I give him some Power Armor, only wanting him to HOLD onto it. And he assumes I want him to wear it, so he drops it to the ground.

You tell him "use range" and he attacks with melee.
You tell him "don't fire unless I do" and he attacks things on first sight.
You'd WANT to be able to tell him to be intelligent enough NOT to aggro 4 deathclaws at one time, but really, he just isn't a bright guy.

Followers will use the weapon that has the most damage of the type (distance/melee) for the tactics you choose.

I am not sure if they will trade out if there is no ammo for their prefered weapon. You could try taking all his .308 rounds and see what happens.
