ive tried almost every gun i know of but he wont use any read the wiki and it says hell use anything.probably worth notin that i used an xp exploit i found
on wiki, the one from talkin to dep. beagle which is why i didnt put it on the issues forum.this guy boone is doin my nut in keeps changin to melee and (not a game
ruiner i know) but critisizes my shots all the time even though they hit right between the eyes.makes me wish there was a strangle move i could do on him.

If Boone can't see you hit the target he makes a smart remark, chances are if your doing stealth right, he won't see what you hit. And annoying bug but old.
*You are giving him ammo for the gun right?*

dammit now i feel like a right spaz.no i didnt kinda forgot that.only human i used before was veronica with power fists so it didnt occur to me.i shall go hang my head in shame for a few weeks. :sadvaultboy: cheers dude boone thanks ya too coz ya saved his life

If you give a character a gun, be sure to give them some bullets in order for them to use it.

seems kinda obvious i know.so if you give him the different types(ap etc) will he change to suit the targets armour i assume he would

No, they don't switch per target.
They use the lowest dmg. ammo first, then if they run out, they'll switch to the better if they have any. So if you want them to use the better ammo, it has to be the only ammo of it's type in their inventory.

Some helpfull person allready told you why above! It didnt occur to me at first, either. Doh!!

An issue I had with boone was when I'd buy a large ammo box of bullets for him, ie 5mm, and he'd allways say 'empty!' It took some time and some messing with his inventorty to get him to use the bulk ammo I gave him!

i read somewhere that theres a bug where those boxes dont count as ammo and you have to drop them then pick them up before they work.
a new issue i found with him probably the same with the others is that he doesnt use mods when you give him modded guns.hes hardly stealthy when he goes
charging at them so i thought a silencer might help.apparently not.also why do you have to give him ammo anyway.with his original gun he has unlimited
and since sniper uses same ammo thats a bit stupid.oh well at least hes using my guns now.can you recommend a gun to give him that hes ace with.i gave him gobi
but since i use the guasse i wanna give him somethin else

He seems to favour the assault carbine I gave him. Or atlest, when he has that equipped the number of times he pulls out his knife for no apparent reason are drastically decreased. It's damn expensive to fix though

gotta try that then.so sick of him pulling his knife out.maybe try all american actually.damn means i gotta go get it.i hate it in vault 34.way to dark.
keep losing the guy aswell,like when i go down some stairs intead of following me down,he goes all the way round the building to find an alternative way to were im going.guess they dont train the art of walking down stairs in 1st recon :confused: .and when i leave hoover dam office i turn round he aint there but instead comes running down the entrance road.
