I’m not sure if they’ve fixed it yet, but there was a glitch that let you get an infinite number of her gun, provided you work with her and get the gun by way of the holotape from her dad. Just talk to her over and over. ---

True, but it’s a lvl 30 perk. Meaning you get to play through 80% of the game with crummy stats before you do get it… that, and Nuclear Man is much more fun a lvl 30 perk anyway 😃 ---

> [@Martini\_Enfield](#): > > The first two DLCs (_Operation: Anchorage_ and _The Pitt_) have been released on DVD for standalone sale; at least here in Australia the cost to buy them on DVD is exactly the same (or near enough as to make no real difference) as downloading them. I don’t get it, actually. This site > **[Gaming and Video Game News & Reviews | Engadget](https://www.engadget.com/gaming/)** > > Find in-depth gaming news and hands-on reviews of the latest video games, video consoles and accessories. says that the PS3 dlc won’t be available until the end of Sept. But they already have the software available on DVD? That seems crazy to me. If they have it available on DVD, why such a long wait for its downloadable version? I am mystified. ---

I was referring to the PC DVD version of the DLCs; no idea what the story with the PS3 version is as I’m not a console gamer. I just wish they’d hurry up and get the remaining DLCs out on DVDs- it’s not that hard! ---

Oh, I see. My mistake, I thought you were talking about PS3 DLC. Its not fair to set a release date of “end of June”, and then in July tell you “end of September”. I wish they worked for me so I could fire them! /jk [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fallout-3-starting-tips/501564.md?page=7)
