Companions refuse to use armors?

Like, i give them the set of armor, and they only use it when we are exploring the ground, never when we are inside enemy ships and stations

Aren't they immortal anyway?

when looking at their inventory use the Equip button. You should see it in the bottom right somewhere.

I haven't had a companion refusing to use armour but I had them changing weapons.
I gave Sara a new gun and she insisted on using her fists for some reason.
I don't know if she just bugged out or what but I had to take off her all the weapons and just give and equip that one gun for her to start using it.

Later on I think she swapped to one of the modified versions of another gun.

I wouldn't expect the AI to be that smart in Bethesda game but I remember Lidia in Skyrim used to change weapons as well when you gave her a better version than she had.

there is a option. but they are wearing armor it is just because they are in a area where they can breath, so in the option they are just wearing their cloths. anyway it doesn't really matter to a point. also they will pick what gun they want even though you pick for them, so if you want them to use something make sure that is only what they have in their inventory.

I had this happen as well, but once I started giving her 1 unit of ammo for the gun I wanted her to use, she stopped using her fists.

You need to give them at least 1 Ammo that fits the gun as well. And remember to actually equip the item as well.

They are YOLOists. They don't fear death
