Artful Pocketer

Artful Pocketer is an achievement in Fallout: New Vegas which is awarded for successfully picking 50 pockets.

This achievement can be attained by pickpocketing 50 items on a single character. In order to count toward the achievement, items must be selected and removed individually, and the inventory has to be closed after each theft. It should also be noted that pickpocketing items that have no value (such as bullet cases) will not count towards the challenge or achievement.

Reverse pickpocketing does not contribute to this achievement.

 * Walter Phebus on the New Vegas Strip has a brahmin steak and a bottle of whiskey in his inventory which can be pickpocketed over and over again.

Behind the scenes

 * 'Artful Pocketer' may be a reference to The Artful Dodger, a skilled pickpocket in Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist.
