If your intelligence is 3 or lower it should become a melee weapon.

For those who didn't read the full bug list: "If you use items from the aid section fast enough, you can "eat" your radio."

[MahDryBread]

You call a Ranger and you get nothing. You call a supply drop and got a Ranger. This truly is the New Vegas experience!

[LAZERAKV]

Ranger who gives you the radio: "You're not alone out there. The NCR has your back."

Ranger who spawns in: "Adios."

Alternate title: Can You Beat Fallout New Vegas using only Conjuration spells

Using the NCR Emergency Radio as a challenge almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

It's very easy to tell that obsidian never expected anyone to use the radio in any situation at all.

A small glitch that is easily repeatable, as you seen there with the one ranger, is that if the ranger doesn't talk to you they will respawn indefinitely until they do. So if you summon one in a fight and they engage combat before talking to you, they will instantly respawn on the spot they die.

So in theory, you could get one to fight the legate, and they would eventually win, if they never talk to you.

Hey if I remember correctly the ranger cant kill those ants because they did something that made npc's scared of them so a wandering caravan wouldn't be able to accidentally kill them while you're not there

New run idea: Can you beat Fallout New Vegas while being chased by the NCR Ranger that brings you the radio?

[Estranged]

Technically speaking, you DID finish the run with the radio. Just because it didn't work most of the time, you still had it, still used it, and when it worked, it worked. You did what you were supposed to do.

For those who wonder why the ranger wouldn't use the sniper rifle anymore: its value was shown as "--" which means that it had a durability of 0, making it unusable. The centurion probably hit it with his super sledge a few too many times.

One run that I always found fun in my own time is named items only. This means that any equipment you use cannot be generic, so you must use your fists as they are yours until you find, buy, or gain from a quest a unique named item. The hardest part of this challenge tends to be not being able to use most healing items in most games.
Fallout 4 is the easiest for this because some enemies will drop named weapons and armor. NV works for this as well as most weapon types have a named versions with several options for weapons from the start. Skyrim has lots of named weapons and armor this isn't too hard to get a hold of. The last game I did this in my own time was Cyberpunk 2077 with all of the iconic weapons/cloths that are just laying around.

It honestly would have been cool if the Legion had a different kind of the radio like a Legion war horn that summons 4 recruit legionaries and a decanus or if you cured Caesar then 3 veteran legionaries and a centurion.

[metroidhunter]

I was visiting Nelson on my Legion character and was brought into Dead Sea’s barracks. The ranger ran all the way into Nelson and into the barracks to give me the radio. Naturally, both parties opened fire on each other and the Ranger brought two recruits to Hell with him.

[AirboundTheMadlad]

This should've been a luck based run because the Mysterious Ranger made so many appearances at the best times

[pogarmor]

This is certainly a “out of NCR operational range, enter range and repeat signal” moment.

[ozone-xvhk]

I want to see a play through where nerbit has the mod that nukes you whenever there’s the “patrolling the Mojave” line

[VioletParagon]

This is the Fallout equivalent of calling the cops on GTA V only for them to do nothing as you get chased down and brutally murdered.

Edit: Proud of all my fellow Matto watchers

10:28 The man just casually hit the hardest line ever and thought we wouldn't notice
