Talk:Slave collar

Would getting more than one collar for Strictly Business be a glitch? I assumed it was one collar for each target since I received 3 collars with 3 targets alive.


 * Yes, there's a bug in which Grouse congratulates you more than once for a single target, and that always comes with a new collar. Because the collars are marked as quest items, you can't drop them ... at one point, I had four of 'em. Shadowgm 13:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Shadowgm

Can you get many Slave Collars(I mean more than 10)?

Instant death when freeing slave
I saw a video on youtube that showed how to 'Convert Enclave Soldiers' to Brothers of Steel. Basicly, you mezz an Enclave troop and slip on the collar, replace his armor with BoS power armor and tell him to run to Paradise Falls. Before he gets away, talk to him and remove the collar, now the 'converted Enclave Soldier' will now be friendly towards you for the rest of the game. But in some cases, when I remove the collar, the soldier will say: "Hey, I think it worked!" (no, its not: "Is it supposed to vibrate like that?" I know that means I failed the science 'check') but when the dialouge ends, the soldier drops dead (his head doesn't explode). The weird thing is that it seems to happen randomly. At times it will work, other times he will just die. I'm on the 360 version, I just wanted to check out why this is happening.

EDIT: Actually, it seems that person dies when you place items on them, I placed 3 Stimpacks in their invintory so that they could heal themselves, so when you take the slave collar off, they die. I'm not sure what triggers this, since I'm on the 360 Revelations 21:6 23:25, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

It could be a reference to Dungeon Siege 2, too.

removing collars
i ran across some slavers and decided to kill them, then i tryed removing a collar from one of the slaves but it failed and gave me bad karma so i had to reload (my PC is good karma only).

what stats do you need to remove a collar without it exploding? --82.11.236.112 12:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC) WB

You need Science 65 to get a slave collar off without it exploding.

trivia
We need to narrow this down a bit. We really don't need a reference to every movie or whatnot that had a similar item. If it had that item for the purpose of slavery than great. If it just featured one but no one knew what it was for than it needs to be removed.--Kingclyde 17:09, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * Couldn't we just keep the earliest one and claim the others were based on that original? Spoon Leave me a freakin' message 17:11, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * We should just remove all the batshit fucking worthless ones and put them here and leave the decnent Trivia tidbits in there. HOLD! RELEASETIME! 17:12, September 16, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with you all, so how about something like, "Exploding collars are frequently used as plot devices in fiction entertainment. The earliest known use of an exploding collar was in the Starchild Trilogy, a trio of novels published between 1964 and 1969."  --GuildKnightTalk2me 18:23, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent.I vote we use it. 18:25, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

How do you use the thing?
Maybe I'm just an idiot, but I can't figure out how to put a collar on to an NPC. I try mezzing them and then using the collar, but I can't figure out how to "use" it.


 * Use dialog, the option will come up to add a necklace or something similar.--Kingclyde 01:29, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * also make sure they are dialouge mezzed, if they are aggresive mezzed you can't use it - RASIC 01:35, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, thanks. I guess that I should have read the mesmetron page first.  I seem to have just gotten angry people with exploding heads so far, I'll keep playing with it.


 * No problem, remember aggresive is the neutral karma way of murdering someone (if they don't see you doing it of course) - RASICTalk 01:49, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

The capital 'C' in 'Slave Collar'.
I've noticed that the article's title capitalizes the 'C' in 'Collar', despite the fact that the word 'Collar' is the second word in the title. Is there a reason for this (such as the item's name in-game), or is this an accident or something? --M.C.Tales 23:05, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the ingame spelling of the item's name. -- Porter21 (talk) 23:42, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Unable to remove Slave Collar
Hi, I used console commands to give me 65 points in the Science skill and spoken to Grouse to know about the Slave Collar (and about mezzing). But I am still unable to remove the collars from any slave and got these reactions from them instead.

Default Slaves (eg. Btreadbox, Break): Can only tell them to run out of the place (and get killed by Slavers if I did not intervene)

Slaves I Mezzed: Kept fleeing from me, unable to talk to them

Did I miss anything out? Thanks!

 * Freeing slaves like that only works with generic NPC slaves (usually as part of a random encounter). I think the named slaves have to be freed by other means, and I haven't tried using the Mesmetron at all.

Game freezes everytime i remove the collar
I'm enslaving to make a "city" so to set everyone to the same faction removing the collars sets them to permanatly on your side but every time i take the collar off they thank me then the game freezes. every time even with different npc's. any suggestions? on a xbox 360

where is the slave collar?
i spawned a slave collar to my inventory using the command player.equipitem 0002F563

but where is it i can t find it anywhere! is it non-viewable? it would be very appreciated if somebody answersFrizstyler 14:46, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

i spawned a slave collar in my inventory
and cant find it just like the above person


 * To answer both of you: that command doesn't spawn anything. You'll want to use instead of.
 * no,that doesn 't work,did you try it your own?it doesn 't do anythingFrizstyler 14:46, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Fallout: New Vegas
Can anyone confirm of deny the presence of Slave Collars in Fallout: New Vegas? I know the Legion keeps Slaves but am unsure if they use collars, and if they do are they the same as this item?

Can't remove collar from inventory
I got the quest from Grouse so that I could have the Mesmetron as a trophy item, then killed all the slavers in Paradise Falls. Now I have a stupid Slave Collar quest item in my inventory that the game won't let me remove, but is taking up 1 WG. Should this be listed as a bug? I'm going to try player.removeitem 00022ff0 to see if that gets rid of it. --HunterZ 03:38, April 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Update: That worked. Also, someone just updated the article to claim that on XBox360 it weighs 0 WG if you kill Grouse; is that really true? On PC it takes up 1 WG no matter what. --HunterZ 06:23, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Success' chance for usage on enemies
Is one able to do that neckband also on enemies, as for example Raider apply? I am sure that yesterday I had tested and observed with how a Raider had a stiff neck, one saw it in his position! Alessio79 12:07, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
