Locating a Moved Unique Weapon

Post » Tue May 10, 2011 4:21 am

I found the CZ57 Avenger and carried it for a while and eventually became to heavy to carry it so I stuck into a ghoul I had killed and came back a short time later to get it but I cannot find the dam ghoul, I have looked for 2 hours and just can't find the thing!

Is there some way to find the location of the CZ57 Avenger in the world or move me to its location with console commands? This is just driving me a bit crazy :banghead: and want to find this thing!!!!! The weapon is unique so figured it must have a location stored somewhere.

I would guess it is possible the ghoul has disappeared but it hasn't been very long and many other ghouls I killed at around the same time are still there!

It just seems like there must be a way to locate the Unique Weapon from an Instance ID, but all I find is a base_id no ref_id, not that I really know what I am talking about. :confused:


Thanks,
Gregg

Dead bodies are the worst place for storage that is possible. The inventory of NPCs gets deleted if they respawn or completely removed from the gameworld if they are non persistant.

The simplest solution for your problem is to add a new weapon to your character. The console command would be playerref.additem [base_id] 1 . It's a cheat but getting the body back would also be cheating.

That's not how it works. The only thing that makes it unique is that there's only one of it placed in the gameworld. You could use the console and spawn as many as you want. If you put it on a corpse and the corpse disappeared, it's just plain gone. It doesn't come from or go to anywhere special. The only way to get it back would be to use the console code Sesom gave you.
