I was coming out the rear entrance of Helios one into the solar panel courtyard... and heard something like 50 mr handy's falling from the sky and then 3 dogs and 2 molerats appeared out of nowhere and attacked me.

weird glitch I suppose.

That would be a nice surprize for me , I miss those encounters from fallout 3 , where you could suddenly get attacked in the middle of nowhere.It adds suspense , so yo have to be on the lookout at all times.

that happened to me to and if i recall they all had names

Yeah It just happened again in the same place but this time old lady gibson was sitting down in mid air!

glitch of epic proportions.

Screencap it.

This happened to me , too.

Every once in a while a cell will not render correctly. Sometimes buildings are missing, sometimes things show up that are not supposed to (like the famous Brahmins running down the strip which seems to happen from time to time). Sometimes NPCs are missing.

The fix for this is to just save, maybe in another cell, exit the game, reboot the system (to clear any cell caches) and then load the game up again. Note, the system reboot is not a requirement, just needs to be done sometimes.

Unless of course you want to have a bunch of Mr Handys for target practice......

CCNA, I heard the Brahmin bit is a staged event that happens.

It might be as it happens to so many people. It sure is weird the first time you see it though.

what about for console users,
and here i was thinking it was one of the few random encounters it was fun to see though

No doubt about that. I literally said allowed 'What the heck?', which is a rare moment for me xD

the Cattle drive I think is scripted,

Yah thats a wierd glitch but wonder if it was 50 mr handys attacking you. mmmmmm now thats crazy :mohawk:

Any of them Brahmins' shouting "Moove! Moove I say!" ?
(They should have :chaos:)

I had this my first play through. ed-e and veronica killed everything. Was rather loud scared the crap out me. also goes along with the NCR guard dogs being agro to you all the time. That whole area was glitchy

I've never heard of this glitch before. But, as you may know, there's only one way out. :toughninja:

Ol Lady Gibson appeared for me when I did the same thing, and a radscorpion.

I have never seen it, and that makes me sad.

Thats amazing! I may just keep entering and exiting helios til it happens!
On my first play through i had lady gibson and rey attack me when exiting ther back of helios for no reason

remember the bouncing protectrons in fo3? Sometimes they would just fall out of the sky... Loved it. Not enough randomness in vegas

Wow...that is the exact same thing that happened to me...did the dogs have names. Because the ones that i killed did,
