Hello, Ive searched online, and on this site and couldn't find an answer. Im to the point in the game when the factions have me go to the boomers and talk to them at the air force base. I noticed on a youtube video when you get to the gate they automatically talk to you. In my game they just ignore me. Ive even tried attacking them but normally they just stay invincible. I can occasionally get them to fire back but they wont open the gate.

Wondering if this is a bug, and if it is will it be patched because I really dont feel like putting another 40hours into the game to get to the same point and get stuck again. Any walk-arounds to this bug? I couldn't find a similar bug on this forum in my search so any help would be great.

Thanks guys.

Bump

ps. I am experiencing the same thing and i also tried shooting at them. I think its kind of funny we both tried to shoot them.

"If the player attacks the guards and Mr. Gutsys near the fences, a guard may become glitched so that he is invincible, and no new guards will spawn to let you into the gate. FIX: While standing at the gate go into VATS and disarm one of the roaming patrols. The (non-glitched) guard with the rocket launcher seemed to be the easiest. When successfully done a fight will ensue, but holstering your weapon will end the fight, and the glitched guard who should interact with the player will freeze in whatever position he was in when the fight ended. Get the fight to end with the guard near enough to the fence, and the player may speak to him through it. Play should proceed normally."- Fallout new vegas Wikia
