Was wondering if anyone has tried to give Boone a Sniper Rifle with a Suppressor mod on it. I did and the suppressor didn't transfer over graphically or functionally. Grabbed the sniper rifle back and the mod was still attached. Not a huge deal, but wanted to know if anyone has had this problem.

Also, was wondering if he could equip the NCR Ranger combat armor. Haven't gotten around to pick myself up a pair yet and was planning on giving it to him, but since it's "faction"...not sure he can.

Thanks

Same here. Seems weapon mods don't affect companions.

Whenever I give Boone a sniper rifle he doesn't use it, just uses his stupid scoped hunting rifle... he'll use everything else under the sun though. Super Sledge, Liberator Machete, C257(?) Minigun, Annabelle Missile Launcher, whatever grenade happens to be in his inventory regardless of enemy type, Cowboy Repeater he randomly keeps picking up, etc etc...

But gawd forbid I give a sniper a sniper rifle, no way! Not using that! :banghead:

P.S. Yes, I also give him a handful of .308 ammunition too... no idea what his deal is.

Boone can wear NCR faction armour (possibly because he was originally NCR). So i would assume he could wear the ranger armour.

Noice noice. Thanks for the reply guys.

Ya boone can wear ncr armour. On one of my chars he's wearing ncr ranger armour.

Companions can not use mods, I do not know if they use the weapon and disregard the mod ( doesn't sound feasible) or they simply ignore the weapon altogether. I can guarantee you that modded weapons do not work with Companions, it is not a bug however, it is deliberate.

EDIT: They can use special ammo though, and I have noticed if they are using the rapidly-deteriorating ammo their weapon condition retains much better than if your character used it.

I gave Cass the long tube mag upgrade on her shotgun. I haven't counted her shots before she reloads, I need to try that and see if it made a difference.

i gave cass a trail blazer with a scope the gun didnt have the scope on it and definately doesnt make her more accurate so....
i dont think they can use mods

Companion weapons only suffer condition hit from taking direct damage AFAIK; which makes Arcane and Veronica standout better with energy weapons.
