How do you equip multiple weapons off the ground?

[=яενєηąŋŧ=]

Example, I have a squad of two snipers with the standard .300WM rifle, and there are two Barrets dropped on the ground. I want to equip them both with the Barrets, but only one unit will do the pick up action, which results in one sniper keeping the .300WM and the other just swapping between the two Barrets. Tried moving the squad so the model with the .300 is closer, but no luck.

I know I've re-equipped an RPG squad with two SMAWs in the past, so I don't know what I'm missing here.

I sometimes have the same problem. For me it was an rpg squad which didn't pick up both smaws.
This seems to be a bug in the game.

Move your squad, so the closest unit to the weapon it is the one that didn't get the sniper rifle.
Took me some time to understand that the weapon that is going to take it, is the closest to it.

Been trying this and no luck. It's always the model with the unit icon over its head, even if I screw around to get them 20 feet away while the un-equipped member is literally standing on top of the gun, they still run the whole way over.

Most Squads (there are exepctions) can only equip one weapon of a kind. Snipersquads for example have at least one guy with a .300WM rifle and one with a "special" sniper, You can get past this by leveling them up to have more than 3 guys for the movement snipers.

You can equip them with two Barrets, Laser Snipers, etc. in the squad screen between missions manually, same with RPG teams and SMAWs. I've also *definitely* gotten one to equip a second slot weapon before somehow, but can't replicate it at all.

Side note: A team of three Sharpshooters fully-equipped with Laser Rifles is *devastating*, I have one already lol.

I cannot equip more then one weapon in the squad screen unless i upgrade the sice beforehand. The second slot is always greyed out for me.

The is one team in the first "real" mission that starts with two equipped, but they are special.

The 'greyed out' icon just means that its the default weapon. You absolutely can replace it with another Barrett or Laser Rifle in the squad screen, I've done that from Post Abiquiu onward.

Yeah, you just need to drag the weapon from your inventory to the default weapon you want to replace.

Maybe it is some kind of UI Bug then. I also have a problems adding infantry squads on the far right of the monitor at the start of a mission.
