Forum:ED-E Quits Shooting ?

Iam playing with my on-line ID on Xbox360. I am at level 12. I have had ED-E as a companion for a few levels now, he is very handy and a good shooter. I did the quest ED-E My Love and got him his new armor, it looks great. My problem is this, right after getting him the armor, with the help of the brotherhood of steel guys..I went and did a few things before taking him to the followers to get him his new weapon upgrade.. Now, he doesnt shoot at all no matter who is attacking me. Is it because I didnt go to the followers right after getting him the new armor? Should I have done it immediatly? The "help book" didnt say I had to do it that way?? He really is almost worthless now just floating around with me and not shooting... Has this happened to anyone else?

 * Yep, this happens to me no matter what I do. He ends up all worthless. If you want him to actually fight you'll have to go back to an older save from before he got upgraded. There are a few notes about it on ED-E's page and the quest page, but basically, I don't think there's a solution to it yet. Sucks. Glomulus 23:39, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

So, I guess if you want ED-E to keep shooting, DO NOT UPGRADE HIM IN ANY WAY? I guess old beat up armor and his laser beats not having him shoot at all...I will goback to an earlier save and NOT do the Quest!I wonder if they will have apatch for this??? Cincykidscott 16:40, November 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I dunno :( I tried it a few times and it never worked. Hopefully it'll get fixed eventually, but I managed to keep him alive through the end of the game playing on very hard so yours should be okay. Super lame glitch. Glomulus 17:59, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

I'm playing on the PC - Level 21 now and did the mission to get the Armour upgrded at the BOS. Afterwards I did notice ED-E was a bit "reluctant" to engage enemies but recently he has been very agreesive & effective in combat. I have not done the missions with the followers to upgrade the Laser. I am wondering if cycling the agressive/passive swtich a few times in ED-Es comm's box would sort this for you?
