Talk:Tumbleweeds

Stuck Tumbleweeds
On the Xbox 360, I have encountered a bug in which I occasionally find tumbleweeds permanently frozen in place, often in the middle of roads, or sometimes even in mid-air. They won't budge, and they don't ever seem to go away. Bumping against them, shooting them, or grabbing and moving them manually do not work. Jumping on top of them yields a metallic sound, like that of jumping on top of a car. It seems I've only to found them around places I visit frequently, such as Novac and Mojave Outpost, but that isn't to say tumbleweeds elsewhere haven't been afflicted. I still encounter tumbleweeds in other locations moving freely.

Has anyone else encountered this, and does anyone know the causes/solutions, or if it has any other potential consequences beyond frozen pieces of the environment? Science-Doer 16:40, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

I have encountered this as well (Xbox 360 version), particularly around Novac.--75.72.124.142 14:09, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

"I have found that the tumbleweeds' frozen state isn't necessarily permanent. After many in-game days, perhaps even weeks, I returned to Novac to find the frozen tumbleweed I had become so familiar with had vanished. I then found another one in another part of Novac. Then, however, after quite a few in-game days, I returned to Novac to find that the frozen tumbleweeds were gone, and there were now perfectly mobile ones rolling about.

 * I've just encountered this issue as well on the PC version. I've seen stuck tumbleweeds in Goodsprings and Novac. It's a shame there's no way to delete them. --MattyDienhoff  «talk » 05:49, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
