So i was messing around and shot a mini at the ammo and guns guy (forgot his name) and he is completely dead, waited and hes still dead, i dont have any mod installed.

Well, thats what happens when you kill someone. They die. They don't suddenly get better some time later.

Generic NPCs will respawn, but named ones don't.

You will be waiting until the end of the game. I'm surprised all of Diamond City hasn't attack you.

Best solution: Reload a previous saved game.

Wait do you mean Arturo? The actual gun shop guy? Or do you mean the sidequest dude with chems and whatnot outside of DC?

If you've killed your shopkeeper you NEED to go back to a prior save, because lol. you can't revive him if you've killed a vital npc like that.

Open up the Console, click on the corpse and type "resurrect" into the console. It's a real fidgety command though, so if that doesn't work, your going to have to rely on an old save, or just deal with the fact that he's permanently dead.

It's not a super big deal if he stays dead. I don't think he has any quests attached, and Cricket is an NPC that wanders the area in front of Diamond City frequently, and often stops at the front gates or in front of the cave to Vault 81. She's not too hard to find.

There's also always Trudy, though it's a bit of a walk to the Northwest of Diamond City, although you'll have to go that way eventually to check on Sanctuary and what not. If you didn't side with her during the argument with the drug dealer, I think her prices suck though.

Resurrect is not recommended. Spawning a new version is NOT recommended. The only For sure fire solution is load a save before it happened.

Yeah resurrecting a dead NAMED npc is *not* gonna work the way you'd expect... Their entire setup requires them to be alive, and once they're tagged as dead that's all - their discussions cannot be triggered, they don't have their purpose in the game. They would be the equivalent of putting a drone on a dead cat.

Resurrect has enough trouble even with nameless NPCs.

resurrect, recycleactor, openactorcontainer 1, reeuip him with his most important posessions.

arturo and some others will return to do what they did...
