Hirelings switching more often to a worse weapon?
I know it's already in the bug report, but has anybody found a way to prevent the hireling from switching to their worse weapon? Say i have a hireling equipped with FN59 and a Bullpup rifle, why does the hireling seems to shoot the FN59 more? The hireling usually rapidly switches between weapons as if they can't decide which to use, and for some reason they choose the FN59 more? Anybody else noticing this? Could just be me seeing things.

It's probably just you seeing things, alongside confirmation bias, negativity bias, etc etc.

The swapping behaviour of a Hireling works on a short timer. When the timer finishes, they make a decision. Their decision on whether or not to swap checks if an enemy is in melee range (I think the range for that is 3 if memory serves) and if the Hireling is holding a ranged weapon. If the answers to both are the same, they swap. Then, it starts the timer again and repeats.

I see, thanks for responding, it was probably just me. Played tinker that playthrough and decked out the guns, probably added an attachment somewhere. Guess my biggest problem is when i gave my hirelings massive/huge weapons, and then they keep switching back and forth. Never really looked into the ai of the hirelings so maybe this just happens normally. Have a nice day.
