Forum:Custom-built weapons - Is there something I am doing wrong?

I have been trying to obtain the "Weaponsmith" achievement by building all custom weapons.

As far as I know there are 7 custom weapons - Bottlecap Mine, Dart Gun, Deathclaw Gauntlet, Nuka Grenade, Railway Rifle, Rock-It Launcher, Shishkebab,

In most cases I have MADE (not bought) at least 1 one these weapons. I have however sold several of them as I found them useless compared to weapons like plasma rifles and lincoln's repeater, etc. They also took up needless space in my inventory. I still have a Shishkebab, as does Jericho and my other NPC follower, Charon has the Deathclaw Gauntlet. I have some Nuka Grenades too.

Upon making all seven custom weapons I never achieved the trophy. Why might this be? Is this a glitch? My only theory is that you have to have all 7 custom built weapons in your inventory at once in order to get the trophy... I had sold most of the custom weapons before I completed the set, the last one being the deathclaw that I made. Any solution to this? I really can't be bothered to make them all over again unless I REALLY have to...

I wish you luck, because it sounds like a bug. All I can tell you is that as soon as I made the last weapon that I got schematics for, I received the achievement. Possibly, no one is answering because thay haven't experienced your issue. If you haven't already, I would make another copy of each one, all at the same time, and see if that would trigger the achievement. Good Luck! Thecrystalcrow 02:37, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Have you been using the console? Are you using a pirated copy? I have a pirated copy, & so it doesn't let me have achievements. By the way, your name Antares is from Joe Haldeman's Forever Free, right? 218.215.176.54 22:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I got the achievement on 360 after making one of each weapon. Gsmikem 00:16, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I thought it was a bug. I do have upgraded schematics for the bottlecap mine and railgun. version 2 weapons. I don't know... I'll make them all over again and let you know if I run into the same problem. It was such a ball-ache looking for the components heh. I own an official copy of Fallout3 for the PS3. I've never been one of pirated games... more trouble than they are worth. I use the name Antares in reference to stellar body (the 16th brightest star in the sky). It also has personal meaning. Check out wiki or something if you're really interested. :) 82.17.92.25 20:28, 1 March 2009 (UTC)Antares23

Antares, my version is for PS3 as well. Although I'm considering updating my PC so I can mod, since the ones I've seen look so fun...plus the fact that I'll be able to get the DLC. If you can't get the achievement on the character that you are playing, consider creating another and starting another game. I've got 4 going myself. Thecrystalcrow 20:35, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, the PC mods do look fun but I doubt my PC could run fallout... anyway I have remade all the weapons that I didn't still own again, such as the railgun, bottlecap mine androck-it launcher and I finally got the achievement! By the way for anyone who's struggling for components for the custom weapons there is a great place in mason district south tube... a utility room to be precise... tons of ghouls though, AND I MEANS TONS. So make sure you have ammo or the ghoul mask equipped. Antares23 15:14, 8 March 2009 (UTC)Antares23
