- Description
- -----------
This mod allows you to give your companions armor, and weapons from your inventory that will be force equipped on them. That means they will not change to another outfit/weapon no matter what they have in their inventory.
Can be used to \"truly\" force a companion into melee or ranged combat by giving them that type of weapon. Not like the vanilla selection that never really works.
- ------------------
- How to use the mod
- ------------------
Go up to any player teammate and press and hold the zoom button,(typically right mouse button) then press whichever button you have to activate things (open containers, talk to NPC.. typically 'E')
Select an option from the menu
Lock Gear- Move the armor and weapon you want your companion to equip into the container then press exit. Locked gear can only be removed from your companions inventory by using the unlock gear option. When locking gear it\'s best to do one object at a time unless you understand the equipment slots of the items. Trying to add 2 armor items that use the same slot will result in only one of those items being equipped.
Unlock Gear- Removes the nounequip flag from your companions equipped items so you can remove or change them.
Exit- Exits...
