I walked into Gomorrah and Cass had a heavily upgraded Cowboy Repeater. (Not the one that you see equipped on her back.) When I walked out over an hour later, not only was it not returned, but they also took her Caravan Shotgun! The non-tradable one that she always has.

Even if I don't take her inside this still happens!

I reloaded an old save where she still had the gun and I was able to reproduce this bug 100% of the time. I dumped all our other stuff on the ground to isolate just this one item.

It doesn't make a difference if she had ammo for it and had it equipped.

Although it's not shown in the video, I also made sure the items weren't mistakenly given to ED-E or myself.

If I carry the gun in instead, they give it back, but still take her shotgun.

Wow, I just tested it with 7 guns, and they all disappeared!

This does not happen at the Ultra-Luxe at all.

If I keep holdout weapons, she keeps the one pistol and still has it after we leave.

add that specific item to her inventory by console command, and problem solved. If that's what are you complaining about. You should be expecting glitches all the time lol.

Are the weapons showing up in your Inventory?

I have taken to dropping my weapons at the Lucky 38 before I do Casino activities. But that is just to avoid having things go in an out of my inventory more so than avoiding any problem.

Check your own inventory- I haven't had any guns simply vanish yet but I have had them put into my inventory by mistake. Yeah I see you said you checked- but that is odd isn't it. I'll have to keep an eye out for that happening. Does it only happen to Cass?

Hi,

I had the same problem with Boone & Gomorrah. I could always reproduce it, having Boone waiting outside of the casino didn't help. Also his "missing" equipment didn't show up in my own inventory. I spent some time anolyzing it, as you did. This has worked for me:

1. take away all non-default belongings of the buggy companion (because they would be lost by the following actions)
2. fire up the console
3. click on the companion (the reference ID is displayed on top of the screen - that's how you know you clicked the right object)
4. type "kill" (without the quotes) in the console and enter
5. type "resurrect" (again without the quotes and enter) (resurrect is probably enough, but I don't like resurrecting something that's not dead yet and damn, I felt like killing something at that time )

After that entering the casino and getting out didn't cause the problem (for how long?). Two questions remain:

1. What corrupts the companion in this way?
2. Do "resurrect" or "kill" perform any special action regarding the other companion variables like companion-quest progression (i.e. is anything player-modified altered using this command?)

And the typical comment at the end, since I just can't help myself:

I'm almost at the end of the game. I experienced a share of bugs, corrupt savegames (helps a LOT when you save every 30 minutes / 1 hour, but not only quicksave, I mean the real save - I have about 800-900 saves ATM). So far I was able to somehow solve all of them, without breaking the whole game progress. With games from these funny companies (bethesda, obsidian - These guys really found each other ) I learned one thing: Never buy a game from them, where you cannot access the console and install MODS (i.e. XBOX360 and PS3 versions). I feel sorry for those poor console players. Those people should go for a major groin kicking protest march .

I have the same problem with all companions. Even leaving them outside with the wait command will strip them of their gear.

I just tell my companions to wait for me in the Lucky 38 anytime i'm required to do anything on the strip. As well as stashing all my important gear there and changing into my Vegas outfit.

:D

I have a similar problem with Boone. Except his default weapon is missing. If I want him to use a ranged weapon I must give him one and he will use the ammo. This is not too bad as I give him a nicer rifle any way. But the point is if he runs out of ammo the default gun makes sure he is not useless. Is there any way to return his hunting rifle to him?

I have the same problem with Gomorrah - tested with Boone & Gannon: lost their weapons, tested with ED-E who was carrying dynamite & grenades and these were left intact.
Making companions Wait outside does not work around the bug. :facepalm:

I have now done the Bye, bye Love quest 3 times... :blink:

I do believe this is one of the issues that is being addressed by the Patch that is set for imminent release. Per Gstaff, this should be out if not tonight, then in the next day or two for the PC. See the first pinned thread in this section for more information on the patch release timeline..
