Forum:At last! A good bug!

Last night, I discovered Anchorage War Memorial with my lvl. 8 sniper character. I got the random encounter with the three Oasis-robbing Wastelanders (basically, a bunch of guys that know the location of Oasis, tell you that they are going to rob it, and then try to kill because they told you about the plans). I killed the dim-witted bandits for their armor (Oooh! Shiny Merc outfits!)with no karma loss, and then I left.

However, I came back some time later (don't know exactly how much time that had passed) when I was one my way to the Tepid Sewers to do the Molerat portion of the Wasteland Survival Guide quest. Suddenly, two Wastelanders of similar fashion with no dialogue options stood before me. I figured out it was a bug, because they should not respawn. At all.

I killed them, this time with Karma loss.

They had only inferior weapons, but they presented an awesome feature: A steady supply of Merc outfits and Mezz-able targets.

I decided to test the bug out: Went to Megaton, waited for 73 hours (normal respawn time) and then went back. Huzzah! Generic Wastelanders!

Have repeated it for four times now, and the generic Wastelanders have never let me down.

Anyone having a slight idea of what has happened?

PS: I play on the PS3

PSPS: Is this the first actually nice bug that has happened? AngryNorwegianDude 16:24, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

That is a nice bug, but I don't think it's the first good one. I like having unlimited Ultra SMGs from Sydney. Mr.goodtrips 21:49, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

This has happened to me too. I used it for easy income, because I just offed them with my Sawed-Off Shotgun and sold their stuff. I bought my first Schematics with the profits. //--Run4urLife! 20:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
