Fallout – Where is the Rock-It Launcher

I think this may be a bug. I have Veronica and gave her the Q-35. She was doing fine until I saw her shooting her stock 10mm at a giant radscorpion. I look in her inventory, no Q-35. I use a console code to give myself another one, and give it back to her (items are created with full CND). She did not equip nor drop it, I checked her inventory again and... no Q-35.

I loaded from before I gave it back to her, generated another one and put it in her inventory, saw it sitting there before I closed it, transferred it back to me and her a couple times, and now it seems like it's staying there. For now, anyway.

This is definitely sounding like a bug though, unless I'm missing something.

The single most important thing to remember is that you do not need most of this junk. And I'm not even talking about the 300 year old Blamco Mac & Cheese or enough liquor to drown the Strip.

I'm talking all those Merc _____ Outfits, the 7 Metal Armors those raiders were wearing, the 9 Tire Irons... you don't need them, and they don't sell for enough caps to make the trip back to town worth your time.

Once you get to the Strip and clean out a few Casinos, you'll never need caps again, and you can focus your looting on things which are useful and hard to buy - rare weapons, Ammo, chems, crafting components (that you actually use), and things which may as well be cash like Pre-War Money, Cigarettes, and other high value, low weight commodities.

Other tricks include: using companions as pack mules, and using Mojave Express drop boxes to ship all your junk to one location (I'm fond of Primm) for later pickup and resale.
