So I went into the tops casino with boone in my party. They took all if my guns and I did whatever I needed to do in the casino. Then when I left the casino and got all of my guns back, I had boone's rifle. I looked around google and apparantly this isn't just a small problem. I can't give the gun back and dropping doesn't fix anything. Will this be patched or is boone forever worthless?

Boone is in bad shape with no weapons.
Are other Companions affected too?

I have a funny feeling this one is cross platform.
It sounds like the old "removeallitems targetcontainer" script command with a twist.

LOL...


All I did was open his inventory, gave him another gun I had been keeping for a rainy day, was concerned when it didn't show up on his shoulder, but then the next firefight we got into his sniper magically reappeared again...

The only problem is now he won't follow anymore... if I leave an area and enter another he is there, but he just stands there and doesn't follow me... ugh..

Boone broke the game for me, his sniper made it all too easy. I recommend a hand to had mele companion. Boone kept killing them before I even saw them. Go with Veronica and either Rex or ED-E. But if you really like having him, try to fire him and then go back to Novac and he may have his gun.

I just had the same problem.It's really annoying because his scoped hunting rifle made him into such an awesome companion.

Yeah, he kinda raqes. Pretty sure he has aimbot, good job Bethesda, you gave someone hacks.

I came across this as well, thought it was something to do with letting him come with me into a casino, i tried making him stay outside while i go alone into the casinos and I still end up with his rifle when I leave. It's frustrating that you can't give it back in the first place, since if you drop it you cannot pick it back up.

BUMP cause i have same problem, he wont take back his gun, doesn't show in inventory when i trade with him : /

This bug has been well-documented ever since about 2 hours after release, since he is most likely the first companion you meet - via MQ. While I can't offer any advice, I keep repeating myself in saying that I am concerned all these cries about Boone being OP will nerf him into oblivion. The combat statistics for him combined with a high quality sniper rifle + 25% (5 Nerve) Damage, will make him incredibly powerful. It is not Boone that is OP, I could replicate this with another companion by giving them a high quality rifle with +25% Dam. Also, companions have a lot more sustainability in NV: Unlimited Ammo/Heal(DoT) after combat/ Excelling in particular skills ( Melee/Guns/etc ).

Be careful in saying Boone is OP, I fear they will bluntly nerf him and then everyone will complain still.
