Forum:The Strip North Gate Glitch??

For some reason im unable to enter the strips north gate i go up to it and it will say it requires a key. im doing the house aways wins 3 and i was able to go in and out of the strip before im really confused why i cant enter the strip again

Hey yeah this has happened to me to and i dont know how to solve it. It seems to be game breaking. Also ill apologise in advance, im a first time wiki user and not sure how to format this. - Aidan

I just had this happen to me and ive managed to get back into the strip at the cost of a fair amount of infamy and some fighting that was relativeley easy for me (at level 17 with Rex and Boone and using pulse grenades) but could be challenging. Basicaly, kill the securitron gatekeepers, they will each have a vegas strip key. Once you go into the strip you will have to kill more robots, and posibly more if you go throught he second gate, but entry is still allowed. The only downside is that i am now "shunned" by the strip comunity having been "helpfull" before. Hope this helps, as above, im sorry i didnt know how to format this. - Gangreen88

Ok I've figured this one out without losing your reputation with The Strip. Arg..... I am getting frustrated with all the glitches that should have been worked out in Fallout 3. Any way I still love this game. Well I too got locked out of The Strip all of a sudden on mission The House Always Wins VII. I took the above advise from Gangreen88, Except I only Killed one Securitron Gatekeeper, quickly got the key off of him and ran towards Freeside. When I was able to fast travel I did so to Novac. (It's just the first place I saw, no real reason I chose it.) Anyway I then waited a few days (In Game) before going back to the Strip. I was not greeted with hostility, and was able to get back onto the Strip, with my (Liked) reputation intact. I hope that this thread helps whomever may be having this problem, until they hopefully patch this GAME BREAKING GLITCH. - Ravelcy

Did you try entering via McCarren? Agent c 05:22, November 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Seconded. Try going through the monorail at McCarran. Even if the NCR doesn't like you enough to let you use it, just Stealth Boy past them. Glomulus 07:41, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

If you get a silenced sniper rifle, go half way up freeside, crouch (sneak) and shoot the robot guard in the middle. If your far enough away, he'll die in one critical hit and you'll go un-noticed. You can then pickpocket his body and get the key with no negative karma or infamy. Same thing happened to me so I tried this (thanks to Gangreen88) and it worked. - Preacher898 10/11/10

I've had this happen to me twice, both times it seemed to be due to sending a companion back to the Lucky 38.

Same thing happen to me. If you don't want to have to kill a lot of robots you can use the in game console to unlock the door. By pressing the tilde key you enter the console, click on the door you want open then type unlock. The door will then be unlocked

I only googled this to see if there was a proper way to do it, it happened to me after I asked a favor of the king to stop the violence, what I did was snipe the security guard and take the key from him. make sure you are hidden when you shoot and you will be fine, snipes are always 1 hit kills for me so i don't know if it might be a problem for others.


 * Easiest way to do this, i read all of these after it happened to me and i just went to the first guy shot him in the face (monitor) and got the key off of him, after that (having boone as a companion) let him kill all of the robots. you get all of the experience but none of the infamy. after all the robots are dead wait a week. the rest of the robots inside should be calm by then. i personally dnt understand why they would allow such a dumb glitch to go unfixed. hope this helped. -Archon96

I think the easiest way to fix it, and the way i did it, was to put about 2 or 3 C4's by the middle gatekeeper, run off and make sure you are hidden, and then detonate. SAVE before you do this, his body might fly...really far.. i watched his body the time i did it and it landed by the Atomic Wrangler. Seasonish 01:43, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

______ Ok I just ran into a weird bug, basically i worked for the king got his favor, got the fake pass, when i get to the gate, some weird guy bugs me, and then when i go to the gate, no one askes me about the keycard... but now to to weirder part, when i enter, a securitron tells me ive been invited to mr.house but then on the stairs of the House i see victor dead, but when i go inside, hes there, and he becomes hostile...

i would suggest fixing this problem before it happens, when you do the quest talent pool, when the lonesome drifter comes into the aces theater he has another acoustic guitar and a key to the strip, id recommend to everyone to take the key(and the guitar because its unique, or 1 of 2 if you take the one on the stump)--Blakebutters 09:20, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
