Forum:... in the year 2282 glitch?

So, I celebrated the "New Year" on the Strip, right? Wrong. The Strip's gate is locked & now requires a key I don't have (& I really would prefer to not kill Securitrons). In the mean time, searching the Vault for a resolution, I came across the timeline page, which informed me:

''2282
 * Fallout: New Vegas ends - In the Second Battle of Hoover Dam, the Courier who had cheated death in the cemetery outside Goodsprings cheats death once again, and the Mojave wasteland is forever changed.''

& so, my in-game date is 01-01-82. Aside from an annoying glitch, do you think the locked Strip has anything to do with the date? Like the game trying to tell me to hurry up? Hurry up and head to Hoover Dam? Does FO:New Vegas have any sort of time restrictions? Or am I reading too much into this?

Iv never heard of this glitch. You make it sound like you've beaten the game before knowing the end game dialogue. But then it seems obvious that you haven't gone through the last mission on the playthrough you're referring to. So I guess I'm just wondering what you're playing on and if

If you've already gotten into the strip through paying the 2000 caps, getting the passport, etc, you can just pick off a securitron silently and they have the key. you can then pass through the gate with it and the others wont be hostile (as long as they didnt see you kill it). I've had this happen to me before too. If that fails just take the monorail or use commands if you are on PC. --Battlecattle 05:39, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

Ummm no I think my original characters timeline reached 83 before I even killed benny

NCR uniform + Camp McC tram = strip access. going to the strip this way sometimes fixes the strip lockout bug. Your game is probably not the canonical game and the timeline may not apply to your game. 75.67.224.12 06:31, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Its just a glitch, I have games that go years past that date. ReapTheChaos 07:09, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
