Artful Pocketer Trophy - Fallout: New Vegas Guide

Guide by Warren Woodhouse

Related Challenges: Artful Pocketer

The quickest and easiest way to unlock this trophy is by picking 50 pockets repeatedly by stealing items from Sarah or the residents at Vault 21 on The Strip. Because the NPC pockets respawn or glitch out, you can farm all 50 attempts in about 10 minutes or less.

You will need a relatively high Sneak Skill to ensure you don’t get caught stealing.

Items like useless keys and ammo that have 0 weight points do not count in the trophy stats so only pick items like bubblegum.

Vault 21 is located on The Strip opposite the NCR Embassy.

Save your game before attempting this, in case you get caught and need to start over.

Crouch, ensure you are hidden and then open their inventory to take a cheap item like bubblegum, ammunition or a key.

You must back out of the inventory screen for the theft to count. Taking multiple items in one menu view only counts as a single pickpocket.

Keep stealing the same repeatedly available items, saving your game often. If you are detected, simply reload your save game and try again.

You need to get banned from all of the main casinos on The Strip in New Vegas. Ensure you have been officially banned from gambling at The Vikki & Vance Museum (Vikki & Vance Earnings: 3,000), The Atomic Wrangler (Atomic Wrangler Earnings: 5,000), Gomorrah (Gomorrah Earnings: 9,000), The Tops (The Tops Earnings: 10,000) and The Ultra-Luxe (The Ultra-Luxe Earnings: 15,000).

The Vikki & Vance Museum doesn’t count towards the trophy/achievement, I’ve added it to the guide for posterity.

If you reach the winning limits on slots too quickly, the floor manager may not be able to walk up to you to hand out gifts. Slow down your wagers (example: play Blackjack) and ensure you receive all of their warning gifts.

Apparently there is a known bug in the game, especially if you’ve killed Benny too early in the game or in a way that turns the casino hostile before they ban you, it can break the script. You may need to revert to a save made earlier before confronting him in The Tops.

Though it’s not strictly required for the trophy, some gamers have reported getting banned from all of the casinos including the Atomic Wrangler, forces the game's script to register the progress.

If you hit all the limits and still get no trophy pop-up confirmation, your save is likely bugged. The only known workaround is to load a save from before you started gambling and do it over.
