Casino Trouble; Guns

[Terit]

So all of us veteran fallout nv players know that when we enter a casino and leave, they have all our guns. I gave boone my anti-materiale rifle and when we left, he didn't have it. Neither did ed-e. So I went through a door, fast traveled, asked boone to switch weapons and the rifle is still gone. I need to find out how to get the anti materiale rifle back because I got banned from a casino to earn back the money. I also am doing the Bleed Me Dry quest so I need it to kill the deathclaws. So...

1. If I enable console, will I not be able to gain any steam achievements? Will I need to exit from nv and start it up again to get the achievements or are they banned for life?
   
2. How do i rebind my console key because I accidently bound it to auto move and my console is not on automove's default any more?
   
3. How can I get the rifle back into the game without using console, is there a way I can glitch it back in by editing the files and not corrupting my save whilst keeping steam achievements?
   
4. How do i kill deathclaws effieciently, Im level 22-23 and I want to kill deathclaws in the most effiecient way i can without using fatmans, stealth boys, power armor, and archimedies oribital laser strikes.

I don't think you can call yourself a veteran when you're unaware that you should either take the weapons of companions, or not bring them inside at all.

Snarkiness aside:
1: just for that session, restarting the game enables achievements again. If you don't want to deal with the hassle or make sure, get this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/59133/?
2: no clue
3a: storm the casino, weapons taken from players and companions are stored in a box next to the cashier. Kill them all, and take the gun(s) back from the box. If you already banned, there's not much love lost anyway.
3b: try to steal the rifle back, though that's going to take a couple of stealth boys and 100(?) lockskill.
3c: buy/find another rifle
3d: load an old save before you lost the rifle
4: Anti-material rifle :p with upgrades and AP ammo fired from stealth for the crit bonus, use drugs to increase dmg/crit.

Sorta funny, I did the exact same thing. I couldnt afford another AMR to give Boone, so I gave him the Gobi sniper rifle. After a few encounters, I realized he was using his own rifle again. He had lost the Gobi rifle!

Lesson learned: Do not ever give any valuable weapon to a follower. They will lose it.

The console key cannot be rebinded* and no other actions can be bound to it, so would like to know how you managed to bind it to auto move.

* My Console Rebind mod allows you to define a shortcut to the console key and optionally disable the original, but it's not a true rebind. The shortcut simply fakes a press on the original key. nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/61365

What usually causes a follower to "lose" a weapon is that they run out of ammunition for that weapon and then drop it. If you give a weapon to Boone you must check him now and then to make sure he has enough ammo for that weapon and that it has not degraded to the point that it is in such poor condition that he will drop it.

Boone has been using some of my weapons for years, he seems to be using his own scoped rifle and never runs out of ammo.

Yeah, I was obese from that 20 pound gun so I gave it to boone, robbed some traveling merchants, dealt with the gun runner guards that spawned back and forgot to take the gun when I went into the casino, it was the first time he lost an item and i didn't expect him to lose it either. Ed-e is like my mobile refridgerator, so he clearly didn't carry it either, i checked him just in case.

Console = ~/`. I had my auto move on default (y?) and pressed the tilde to rebind it. Now when I press ~ i automove and when i press y nothing happens.

I play solo sneak characters that can sufficiently hold their grounds when spotted. Melee use Super Slam to ♥♥♥♥ deathclaws. Just try to maintain height advantage and make your location hard to get to.

Go for their legs, explosives help a lot.

[Insano-Man]

Wherever you shoot a deathclaw, commit to that body part. Every time you cripple a limb, they'll be stunned, so if you happen to notice that their arm is looking a little weak or their torso was worn down somewhere along the way, focus fire there. You might not get the luxury to switch limbs if you're playing with a weak character or a high lethality mod.

Satchel charges can also come in handy if you get the jump on one. Their nigh-instant detonation delay means that the deathclaw's speed won't help it if it runs over one and the damage is almost guaranteed to cripple a limb in the process. They're pretty easy to craft, too.

Only happened to me in Gammorah.
Give your companion/s all of your non holdout weapons and tell them to meet you in the lucky 38. This won't make the weapons disappear

Merchant inventories aren't static, but reseed twice a week.

You're on PC, you have the console. I think you know what to do

I don't have the console: "Console = ~/`. I had my auto move on default (y?) and pressed the tilde to rebind it. Now when I press ~ i automove and when i press y nothing happens."
