Bugs

 * is possibly bugged; after you remove it from the Vegas Strip, you may experience crashes upon returning to the Strip in which the screen goes black and non-responsive, and music continues to play. This may be because it counts as a quest item that is surrendered upon completion. Getting an "old cowboy hat" from either the Crimson Caravan or Mick's store and wearing it upon entering seems to fix the problem, allowing you to return to the Vegas Strip. NOTE: This does seem to temporarily fix the bug, however short of keeping the 'old cowboy hat' in your inventory there seems to be a permanent risk of the problem reoccurring.
 * This bug can also corrupt your autosave, so be sure when entering and exiting New Vegas locations to have a recent hard save.
 * Some reports of crashing while zoning from Mick & Ralph's to Freeside.


 * Caleb McCaffery's Hat can be worn with many helmets. It is yet to be seen if it can be worn with a power armor helmet.
