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 it 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.

Quests

 * ED-E My Love

Appearances
ED-E appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs

 * It would seem using ED-E to carry stuff for you would be a bad idea, items given to ED-E seem to disappear over time.


 * 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


 * 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.


 * Completing the quest "ED-E My Love" by giving him to the Brotherhood will teleport it back to Primm but without any of the items you had stored previously in it. So, if you don't want to lose your items, give them to another companion or sell them. Not sure if this is a bug but there was no warning whatsoever. After awhile your items in ED-E will come back or not.
