Followers change primary weapon

[Josh Olson]

Followers with natural weapons like baboons that can bite will reset to their natural weapon. Seems to happen when you give them a piece of equipment.

Maybe because the penetration is higher than weapons on a legendary baboon so an automated check ranks it as the best? I don’t think I can get a higher PV to test this theory on baboon so I will have to wait until I get a stinger on a companion.

Can scratch my theory. Set zetachrome hammer on a companion with a tail. changed rooms a couple times and checked again and it was back to the tail. far less pen and damage. Also didn’t give the companion any items.

Fired up a new game with the latest not beta and this is still an issue. It would be nice to be able to lock the primary weapon on companions. It definitely changes when you give them gear they equip. If need be I can do some more testing and try to find other times, but I’m guessing it’s already known when they “true up“ their gear.
