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 from 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.

Bugs

 * Sarah Weintraub in Vault 21 has a pack of bubblegum and a beer in her inventory which can be pickpocketed over and over again. Recommended high level in sneak incase you get caught!

Behind the scenes

 * 'Artful Pocketer' is most likely a nod to The Artful Dodger, a skilled pickpocket in Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist.
