That should teach you not to store your guns and ammo in the same container. Why are you storing your ammo anyway?
Inventory clutter? I routinely lay off various items I don't need for this reason, even if they have zero weight.
i would love to lay off all those keys..
OP: Yes I knew they stole. is why I made my house at Red Rocket... away from them.
When in combat, any humanoid NPC (settlers, raiders, companions, etc...) can grab weapons around (they seem to compare it to one they already have), including inside containers and on dead bodies, given they have ammo for it or there is ammo in container/body with the gun. They seems to be unable to grab weapon and ammo separately. They also can enter power armor given it have fusion core. Again, they are not smart enough to pick fusion core elsewhere and then use it on power armor.
So as long as you keep weapons and ammo and power armor and fusion cores separate, they should be safe.
So..if I make two containers, one with the AlienBlaster and one with the ammo, and fusion cores and whatever else ammo.
I'm ok?
My question is: Why do you care? Obviously, if it's stored, you're not using it.
My people steal things all the time. I don't care. It's not like I'm using that Legendary Wounding 4 MIssile Launcher (I tricked out) and the 400 odd missiles I had left in a footlocker at Hangman's.
It was Strong btw (I'd forgotten to give him anything but a board to use). Needless to say, it was quite a mess. He's been running around the neighborhood on his patrols using it every since. Guy has got pin-point aim and, apparently, really, really hates other Supers.
Create a small building above ground level. Make it where you have to jump up to get in it. Place safe(s) in said building. Store valuables in safe(s).
Are y'all collectors or something? I have so much useless "Legendary" and "Unique" crap now that I've just started dropping it in the Workbenches wherever I'm at and forgetting about it.
Yep, can't stop collecting. Do I have a problem?
Yes, you should be. Except if NPC already have ammo which he needs. But that's probably impossible with alien blaster.
I once saw Garvey walking around in my PA and he wasn't even a follower! Next time ask nicely and I'll reconsider. You bastard.
