Forum:Followers equipping weapons.

I would like to know which followers can equip which weapons. I can't seem to get certain ones (Jericho for instance.) to equip a weapon like the Death Claw Gauntlet. (I know Unarmed isn't his forte.) I've played the games numerous times, but I still can't get them to use certain weapons. Another example: Fawkes won't use a laser pistol I gave him. Don't bother saying something like, "Did you give him ammo." Because who would give someone an empty gun?


 * Followers won't equip weapons if they already have a better one in thier inventory. Fawkes' Gatling Laser is way better than a Laser Pistol. Nitty Tok. 03:16, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I forgot about that part, with the better weapons. But it still doesn't explain why Jericho's crappy ass CAR will be used. Even if I gave him a nice Gauntlet.

I'm not for sure, but I don't think that followers can use created weapons. I would look at Jericho's page and see if there are any restrictions._ Airraid232

I checked out his page, and it said nothing about that restriction. But, on Butch's page, it said it is best to give him the DCG.

Seeing as Jericho is poor in unarmed, but decent in small guns the Gauntlets going to be weaker than his CAR. - RASICTalk 05:49, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Did you tell him to use a melee weapon. Talk to him and choose "change your tactics" and select "Use a melee weapon". Sheepbiter 12:07, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
