ED-E

Eyebot (Duraframe) – Subject E, or ED-E for short, is a 6 year old shop security robot at Primm. His armor and weapons are more advanced than standard eyebots.

Background
ED-E comes from the East Coast ; he was built by Whitley, an Enclave scientist at Adams Air Force Base. ED-E is a highly customized "duraframe" model with hardened armor and specialized weapons. It was an eyebot on an incredible journey, first going to Navarro for upgrades, then carrying an enormous amount of valuable data when it was badly damaged and taken in by a Primm shop owner: the Nash Residence. Though ED-E still retains all of its data and an understanding of its mission, its internal positioning hardware is badly damaged. The only reason it has not been seized by interested parties is because ED-E has not communicated its special mission to anyone. ED-E is seen trying to fulfill its mission in the trailer video, where it is shot twice by an unseen shooter, and then it heads towards the New Vegas skyline in a heavily damaged but still functioning state. To fix him requires a 65 repair skill, or 35 with 55 science skill, or he can be repaired with 3 scrap metals, 2 sensor modules and 1 scrap electronics. After he is repaired he can become your companion. A good place to find the parts needed to repair would be the Novac gas station garage.

Bugs

 * Completing the quest ED-E My Love by giving him to the Followers may result in him teleporting to a location near red rock canyon(shown by quest marker) and then exploding on approach, removing him from the game as a companion.


 * It would seem if you bring ED-E into the White Glove Society's kitchen, he will stop moving and just float in place. You can still interact with him, but he will not follow you. This can be avoided by telling him to wait outside the kitchen area and then going back to get him after you're done in there.


 * When told to stay, he can appear to you soon after even though you clearly told it to wait there.


 * After rescuing Primm's deputy all Primm citizens may became hostile to ED-E.


 * After chatting to the commanding officer at Ranger Station Charlie, the officer may become hostile to ED-E


 * The Legion members inside Cottonwood HQ may become hostile to ED-E at random.


 * NCR troops at Camp McCarran may become hostile to ED-E at random.


 * Completing the quest "ED-E My Love" by giving him to the Brotherhood may result in ED-E no longer moving or shooting anybody. It will still fast travel with you and zone with you, but will stay where you spawn.  Changing him from follow to stay, and then back to follow fixes this problem, but he still won't attack enemies. Also reported to happen if you side with the Followers of the Apocalypse at the end.


 * Giving ED-E a suit of Brotherhood T-51b power armor to hold onto will result in the armor disappearing from ED-E's inventory with no way to retrieve it or he will drop it.


 * When completing the quest ED-E My Love, you're given a chance to upgrade the robot either by giving him to the Brotherhood of Steel, or the Followers. To achieve this upgrade, the entity is swapped out with an entirely different base ID, without making the inventory persistent.  The effect of which is destroying any items in ED-E's inventory.
 * To fix this issue on the PC, you can spawn the standard ED-E at your location using the console. Take your belongings from it, then destroy the temporarily spawned entity.


 * When trying to pass under the floor of BoS underground base in hidden valley, ED-E may get stuck in the low floor when trying to follow you.


 * While entering vault 34 ED-E may get stuck and leave your party and return to primm. When you return to primm, ED-E will begin to attack you with no chance of stopping the attacks. (360)


 * Sometimes ED-E may be randomly attacked if the player interacts with people. (360)
 * Having ED-E wait anywhere until he returns to Primm may result in him becoming hostile to everyone, including your character. You may be able to retrieve your gear from him by pickpocketing.
 * ED-E will disappear if you enter the Lucky 38 Casino. But cannot recruit Rex as It appears ED-E is still following you.


 * ED-E will completely disappear and will not be at Primm or the Lucky 38. (360)


 * Several staircases (with roofs/walkway covers) can cause ED-E to become immobile and/or phase through the bottom of the level (Confirmed PS3)
