Forum:Superhuman Gambit help (both weapon/armor trick)

{OP}I've been playing through FO3 again in order to finally play the expansions, then to switch over to New Vegas (I still haven't even played it one time yet!). In this run I'm attempting (successfully so far) collecting every single one of the unique weapons (actually in having trouble getting butch's toothpick from him, he's in the muddy rudder after leaving vault 101)-- to get them all though i need to get both weapons from the 2 costumed people in the superhuman gambit quest. i can sneak up to them with a stealthboy unnoticed and successfully reverse pickpocket them-- both of them-- and try giving them fully repaired tesla armor, power armor, various fully repaired armors, but they will not unequip their own costume which i need to do in order to get the other person's weapon.

any suggestions/questions?

thanks.{OP}
