Hey everyone,
I just so recently noticed that my bot, ED-E went missing. I believe it happened sometime around when I first entered the lucky-38, but I cannot be sure as his absence just recently came to my attention.
I have looked all over the Lucky-38, New Vegas, and back at Primm where he would respawn. I have had no luck finding him in any of the listed locations.
The perk, 'Enhanced Sensors' is still active on my character, and everyone I walk by comments on the 'eye-bot' which shows me that the game still shows him as following me. However, he is nowhere to be found.

I have tried the 'Vault 22 elevator trick', and the console command to teleport to him (This doesnt do anything, strangely. Just keeps me in my same position.) I am also so far into the game from when I lost him, that I have no saves for when I did have him.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or tips on how I could get him back? I wanted to recruit Rex (The other robotic companion) but am not able to due to the fact that the game registers as lost ED-E still following me.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. - I have completed ED-E's personal quest (Sided with the brotherhood) if that means anything.

as far as i know, the only "official" response you'll get is: Wait 73 ingame hours, scripts should reset, ED-E should return to home blablabla.

Personally, i think you're screwed.. I've read about ED-E disappearing and reappearing at some mountain, then exploding, removing him from the game. Not sure if this is the case, but still.

also, you might want to check out the Fallout wiki, it has lots of interesting stuff on it already.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_Wiki -- AKA The Vault

Open console. (~) (For BoS ED-E)
Type: prid 1732cf [Enter]
Type: Moveto player [Enter]

Enjoy.

1732d1 (Normal ED-E)
1732d0 (Follower Weapon Upgrade ED-E)
1732cf (Brotherhood Armor Upgrade ED-E)

Hmm, weird.

I tried the console command, and waiting 72 hours, along with checking out the wiki page.

No luck on any of it. Guess i will just have to wait until an update is released that fixes the problem.

Thanks anyway folks.

Weird. The console command should work immediately.

I have tested it on my rig several times today and it works every time.

Have you tried all 3 prid numbers? Might be worth a shot.

Ok, lets go searching for ED-E then. Try this in the console:

prid 1732cf [Enter]
player.moveto [Enter]

See where you end up. (For poops and giggles try typing: player.moveto 1732cf Now try and leave. )

Yeah, its very strange. It's almost like the moveto command isnt even registering as when I type it in nothing happens.
After I type in the code I see the text at the top of the screen saying 'ED-E' and some numbers, however, after I type in the player.moveto command it has no response whatsoever.

Unfortunately I have tried all 3 of the codes (brotherhood, follower, and base) and they all yield the same result of, well, nothing happening.

the player.moveto 1732cf takes me to black mountain (Is it supposed to do that?)
also when I type in the command
prid 1732cf
moveto player
it takes me nowhere.

Any ideas?

Damn, I think this may have to be done the hard way. Was ED-E holding anything you really needed? You can reset him, but anything he was carrying will be gone.

Black Mountain, really? When I do it it puts me in a room with no windows or doors under the Mojave Outpost. (At least that's where the world map says I am.)

The prid 1732cf [Enter] + player.moveto [Enter] should move the player to ED-E.
The prid 1732cf [Enter] + moveto player [Enter] should move ED-E to you.

I have no clue why it doesn't work sometimes.

So, if you're willing, you can reset him.

prid 1732cf (So it says ED-E at the top.)
kill
resurrect
disable
enable
moveto player

I'm having this same problem but have also lost Veronica. I also lost them in the Lucky 38. It seems like the player home was initially compatible for followers then ceased to be so once I left. I don`t suppose you`d have Veronica`s ID handy? Thanks!

Correction: Wrong ID. Correct now.

The other two codes seem to take me to that room you were speaking of, but the code for the brotherhood ED-E takes me to black mountain. Strange.
Attempting to move ED-E to me yields no results.

Yeah, I am willing to reset him, as he had nothing of importance on him.
I tried typing in that combination that you listed (kill, resurrect, activate...) and as soon as I type the phrase 'kill' and press enter my game crashes.

weird....

I'm going to hazard a guess, and that is all it is, but sounds like there may be a scripting issue with your game or something. With ED-E specifically.

I'm at a loss what to suggest next. Sorry.

If you are up to it, and have saves from when you just got ED-E or even a few hours after, try the commands there. Make ED-E wait, fast travel away, then try the prid+moveto player commands. (All 3.)

P.S.

Simply for testing purposes.

Hey all, thanks for the patience and the help..
I FINALLY figured the issue out. I went reading around on the forum and the command that brought ED-E back to me was -

player.placeatme 001694E0

That is ED-E base ID, strange that works over his RefID.

Anyway, to all that have the same issue I had, if no other command works attempt the above command depending on the upgrade you put on him.

0010c769 (Normal)
001694E2 (Follower Weapon Upgrade)
001694E0 (Brotherhood Armor Upgrade)

Thanks Again.

hey die hard...i used your method for recovering Ed E and he DID reappear beside me...but when i click on him instead of getting the "companion wheel" i get the dialouge window instead. I can still issue commands but i have no access to his inventory. I was wondering if you had this problem as well. How do i get the "companion wheel" back??

i figured it out...i just had him follow me as i fast traveled back to lucky 38...in front of the casino i dismissed him and he went into the 38 and i found him idling in the presidential suite. I then had him rejoin my group and the companion wheel is back and i have full access to his inventory. I don't know why the little bugger had me jump through so many hoops but i guess its kind of like a "reset" for him. that little scamp...
