Boy.. can't say much for the house security at The Tops..

I chose to keep my holdout weapons (56 Sneak).. and Im now headed over to talk to Benny with:

2 .44 magnums
1 10mm pistol
10 sticks of dynamite
30 frag grenades
1 ripper
1 sawed off shotgun
and like 6 melee weapons..

(everyone wave bye bye to benny)

I found a good way to wax Benny even without any holdout weapons. (Good for low sneak characters)

Get him to accompany you to the suite alone. When you arrive, keep to the left behind him and open the safe BEFORE you talk to him. Inside is a 10 MM submachine gun.

This is what I did, now I just have to learn not to trust him and allow him to leave the room. Yeah I fell for it but what can I say, I just never took Matthew Perry for such a dirt bag. :laugh:

I prefer my own weapons.

I find it hard to believe that you can't bring toys in Casino......

I didn't try this, but the next time i'm going to go to the casino, kill an omerta in secret, take his suit, go outside and back in with his suit on and walk in there with my entire arsenal.

Man, that would have been way easier than shooting him with my .22 pistol which I only carried 1 magazine for. Managed to down him with a headshot with the last round. Retribution at it's finest.....or maybe that would be the crucifixion lol.

If you had talked to Swank, and tell him what Benny is up to, he will give you back your gear, and let you wear any weapon openly in the casino. He will also give you the key to Benny's room to go poke around (and find Yes Man), and talk Benny into going up to his room alone for you to off him.

I actually did talk to Swank on this run and I had Boone with me (usually don't use followers but I had heard he was a beast, and he is) and I had given the Gobi Sniper Rifle to Boone. After I talked to Swank and got my weapons back I went off to do some other quests and decided to leave Benny there while I decided what to do to him. Well as I ran into some fiends Boone ran up with his fists and started punching them. After I dispatched the fiends with my .44 I checked out Boone's inventory and my Gobi is gone! Seems like he also won't switch to his default weapons.....

Oh well, stupid me for not having more than 3 saves. 1 or 2 is not enough from what I've come to discover.
