Forum:Pickpocketing in Anchorage help

Im to the last part of anchorage with all the soldiers in power armor, and im trying to pickpocket the fatmen/miniguns, but i cant seem to. Ive even tried using the console to max my sneak skill, and still cant. Every time i try it tells me i had been caught pickpocketing. Any ideas about what i might be doing wrong?

 * If you're already using the console, just try using it to treat yourself to a Minigun or a Fatman:
 * Minigun: "player.additem 433F 1" (2000) 5mm Round: "player.additem 6B53D 2000".
 * Fatman: "player.additem 432C 1". (100) Mini Nukes: "player.additem 20799 100".
 * If you for some reason are more interested in the actual pickpocketing, I don't know if I'll be of much help. I never tried it in O:A myself, but it might be "disabled" in the simulation. ("Disabled" as in the Tin Cans have a superhuman perception or something...not sure how that would work, though.) --Headcrab 15:02, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Only reason this came up was because on the wiki page about O:A it is stated that you can, in fact, pickpocket the soldiers in power armor for NEARLY invincible miniguns/fatmen. However, I'm starting to think somewhere along the line I came across a glitch because two of them, when trying to pickpocket them, lead to them attacking me - while the others didn't. And at the last part before the general comes to talk to you and the simulation ends, i noticed the soldiers in power armor, when walked up to, would become hostile. Keishi 19:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
