More specifically, it seems that those who want to steal things in the game, but don't want to get a karma penalty nor the disapproval of non playabale characters (alongside their attacks, of course), can use a glitch that will allow them to get all the things they need, ranging from ammo to guns.
As you will see in the video below, it seems that if you have a bucket or a pot, you can take all of the things you want to steal and place them in the bucket.
You can do so by using the Z button (on the PC) to grab things and then drop them in the bucket or the right thumb stick on the consoles.
When the pot or bucket are full of useful things, you then need to grab it by using the same Z button and then carefully take it somewhere where no NPC can see you.
This may be a bit troublesome, thanks to the game's dodgy grabbing system, but it is well worth it.
When you are out of sight, you just put the bucket down and start taking the things you just stole.
It seems that the game won't penalize the karma of your character so you're free to do this trick as many times as you want and with as many buckets or pots as you want.
Those that think this is a bit too complicated can just use a stealth boy to turn invisible and then steal everything, but if you want to keep those devices for when you really need them, just follow the steps mentioned above and displayed in the video below.
Fallout: New Vegas has just been launched for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and while it is definitely an impressive RPG, it still suffers from a lot of glitches and problems.
Its developer, Obsidian, and its publisher, Bethesda, are trying to smooth out the kinks by releasing multiple patches for all of the platforms, but players are still experiencing a lot of problems when playing the post apocalyptic role playing game.
Check out the new stealing trick from Fallout: New Vegas in the video below.
also, I assume you are using this to show that you recieve no karma penalty from stealing items in this way? That's the wrong place to do it, you don't recieve a karma penalty from stealing items in the silver rush anyway, as the characters are bad. you will make people hostile in this area if caught, but that's nothing special, it's been around since 3 and it was even easier in oblivion with the telekenesis spell
another glitch here, when you recieve your shack from the followers of the apocolypse, the two fridges will replenish after taking all the items, usually about 2-3 items of varying amounts. A good way to get plants and food to save "prospecting" for them!
