Curie doesn't use laser rifle. Always punches things instead. HELP!

[Andrius227]

How do i fix this. Her default weapon is a laser rifle, but she rarely uses it, instead she punches things with her fists or uses other melee weapons from her inventory.

[Khloros]

its a bug with her AI, although she turns into a syth which should use the human AI combat, she still uses the mr handy combat AI, which is to melee most of the time if she can.

Best was to get around this, what i found, give her a weapon whos ammo type you hardly ever use. I gave her a plasma infused assault rifle and like 3k rounds. Only way to fix it that i know of.

Ammo?

Curie still has her Miss Nanny AI. So if enemies get too close she will often use hand to hand combat. Being there is no way to tell your Companions to use "Range" "Close Combat" AI unlike NV, they just do it automatically. Instead of using Melee attacks with her range weapon she switches to fist, and often doesn't stop using fist for a while. It is annoying but that is what happens when you get a Companion that changes "Race." Someone will likely fix this in the future hopefully.

Best bet is just give he a good melee weapon, and range weapon, if she gets into a situation that she switches to melee she will use that melee weapon, if you want her to go back to range just talk to her and force her to use range again through the trade window.

Open the console, target Curie and type

I have found if you give her a really good ranged weapon, she wont melee, IE i gave her a decked out Assault rifle, and she never picks up another weapon or uses melee, they alwasy tend to use the strongest weapon avalible.

I give her a decked out laser rifle often. Guardian Combat Rifle works well to. lol

don't lisen to all fools that use console commands for everything like nabs and then come back crying their game is broken.

it appears curie has no default melee weapon. If you give her a melee weapon like a legendary baseball bat or something, she won't fight fist anymore. Don't force her to use it, just put in her inventory.
Then she will start to use her default laser rifle when range combat and the melee weapon you gave her in melee combat.

Yeah, but i dont think OP wants her meleeing at all, which is why if you just give her a reallly strong ranged weapon she wont ever melee.

She DOES have a default laser rifle, i saw her use it for a while. But then she quickly switches to fists or other melee weapon from her inventory.

I dont really want to give her a different ranged weapon because then she would need ammo and i cant quite afford that.

[Syntax Error]

I had her using Pickman's knife and it was fun watching her tear stuff up with it. But then I got my hands on a Neverending Institute Rifle (unlimited ammo), tricked it up and gave it to her and she hasn't used melee since. So she WILL use ranged weapons if they're superior.

Honestly IMO, use dogmeat until you can afford the ammo for her then.

Just become a water baron, and buy all the ammo you need, also get scrounger.

[Killzone]

She likes using a board when I bring her along, she picked it up somewhere and uses it often, even when I give her a better melee weapon... lol

Wow, you say don't listen to fools, and then post a bunch off inaccurate and completely WRONG things about Curie.

Curie DOES have a default weapon, her laser rifle, the console command I posted just makes her EQUIP HER OWN LASER RIFLE.

I gave her a tricked-out assault rifle and she rarely melees. When she does, she uses the sword I gave her.
