Why can't Obsidian get this right?

Once again, after a very long time of it being fixed, Gomorrah is back to keeping followers weapons. Even better, the followers weapons are taken (and not given back) even if you have them wait outside on the strip. I lost an entire play session tonight because that bugged script emptied ED-E's stock of specialized weapons (AMR, Sniper Rifle++, Annabelle and even the Shovel), along with the Q-35 Veronica had.

So yeah, If you have to go inside Gomorrah fire your followers and send them to the Lucky 38.....or don't and feel my pain.

You can always steal them back from the casino, as to why the issue has cropped up again you do realize how complex these issues can be and fixing one thing can easily cause another unrelated item to break and something like this could easily be missed in patch testing.

I never take companions in casinos anyway. Gambling is my alone time.

Sorry about my 2 other posts they wouldn't work some reason. Anyways, this might have been the reason why I lost the unique weapon oh baby! Im gonna try lockpicking the safes in Gomorrah and see if that works.

This issue has resurfaced after patch 1.4.0.525 (v1.6 for PS3) and has been reported several times already.
What platform are you on? Maybe it would be better to move this there...
Cheers!

Bethesda is doing the patching...see Jason Bergman's posts. I tested this a couple of different ways and made a thread in the Bugs forum. That doesn't mean it will be seen though. I posted detailed info there for months about Broken Boone and nothing was done until Josh Sawyer saw my post in this GenDisc area and sent it to Bethesda himself. I'm on PC.

When the Weapons inventory tab was missing on ED-E when we came out of the Gomorrah, I checked all companions and they all had zero weapons. Their weapons don't seem to be tracked now and it just spawns them an empty inventory when you exit Gomorrah...and it doesn't matter if they are with you or not. I had them wait at the Atomic Wrangler and the same thing happened...empty Weapons inventory...but so far, only with Gomorrah. I plan for this now when I have to visit Gomorrah by emptying their inventory before we go. If they do have a weapon, I make sure I can handle the weight and then I carry it in and give it back to them when we exit...since my weapons are tracked. Make sure you can handle the extra weight.

New patch please...this bug is big. Thank you.

I'm on the PC version. This was an old bug in the early versions of New Vegas that was fixed back in the December '10 patch if I remember right. How it got back into the game escapes me as there shouldn't have been a reason to tinker with that script. Almost like some programmer imported data from a obsolete build by mistake rather than sticking with the data from a current esm file.

It's an easy one to work around IF you know it's there. Just fire any followers and send them to the Lucky 38 where they can be reacquired again when you are done at that casino.
