Problem: Veronica is mysteriously carrying extra weight with nothing showing up in her invetory.

What happened:
I had her hold a bunch of weapons while I was in the Van Graffs. When I got out I quickly took them all back. After some fast traveling and selling, I double-check her inventory to make sure I got every thing and she was carrying 51 lbs. Normally she has 42lbs on her with the recon armor I have her wear.

I am assuming she is carrying some of the weapons I had her hold.

What caused this? Is there anyway to get her carry weight back down to normal?

Any help would be appreciated

i personally have no idea. i play both on the Xbox and PC, i had a similar issue that benefited me where Veronica was able to accept any "light" items such as Ammo and Misc. even though i surpassed the weight limit it would no let me "hand" her any heavier items. i would suggest to revert to an older save that you have that is fairly recent and do what you did over again. sorry i could not answer you question fully :/

I'll probably just reload my previous save. It just makes me sad this game is so glitchy.

I had a problem with ED-E magically gaining weight too when I upgraded him. I reloaded and now i'm putting off his quest and hoping it'll work better later on.

IIRC someone reported this problem in the past. You might want to search on the Nexus forums there was a thread about it way back when. Maybe there is a solution.

You can remove all playable items from Veronica's inventory and verify the exact weight of her non-playable items. They are as follows:

Oasis Druid Robes = 3.00
Oasis Druid Hood = 1.00
10mm Pistol = 3.00
Power Fist = 6.00
Magical Companion Ammo= 0.00

Total = 13.00

Just open up her companion Wheel and hover the mouse over the inventory icon, it should show 13 when she has no playable items on her person.

Very interesting. I checked my oldest save and she had 22lbs once i took the 3 doctor's bags from her. It seems she's had extra weight for a while now.

I gave her other weapons to hold: first Christine's sniper rifle(giving to her then taking it back), then maria (again giving to her then taking it back). After taking Maria back her weight went down to 21lbs. We traded back and forth a few more times, but the weight only went down the one time.

I fired up my newest save. She had 31lbs her totally empty. I tried giving her maria and some other weapons, but did not see a weight reduction. I then fired her(as i had to ask her to come with me in my oldest file)rercruited her and tried the trading, but still no results.

this is messed up. I wonder if my other companions have extra weight on them too...
