Forum:Boone Degrades Gauss Rifle and Drops it after about 10 shots???

Hi All

I just got a Guass Rifle two of them to be exact. I love the thing myself as I play a long range game. However I gave my spare to Boone since he's a sniper to but after about 10 or so shot he drops it and goes to his defualt gun, when I pick it up of the ground it is completely degraded???

Can anyone tell me whats happening?

Thanks

Companion weapons don't degrade normally, but if shot, a gun can break in a companion's hands. Tips994 02:58, January 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, if a gun is shot (as in, one NPC shoots at the gun of another NPC) even once (depends on the weapon), it's condition can drop to 0 and the NPC will drop it and switch to a backup weapon (usually melee) or run around searching for another to pick up (usually from a corpse).

I had the same thing happen to me, but after getting the gause rifle repaired about 4 times, from the major at the ncr ranger station, it no longer degrades, although he still sometimes drops it. I have also noticed that Boone sometimes picks up random weapons, and then tries to use them even if he has no ammo for that weapon. 81.159.72.123 21:56, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

I saw this too, something that Boone didn't do it before. I was in level 16 when I started his quest and was battling some legionaries in Nelson. When I looked to Boone he was armed with a almost broken Cowboy Repeater and no ammo. Damn the latest patch, broked one of the best companions for stealth (I prefer Cass when my courier is focused in heavy weapons and open fight). Brfritos 14:47, January 10, 2011 (UTC)
