Hey man, I think I found a fix. I was having the same issue in my game and I found a mod that handles a bunch of weapon bug fixes. I also updated all my unofficial patches to the latest version 2.0.8. The mod I found is called Weapon and Armor Fixes Remade on the nexus. I did all this at once so I'm not sure which of the changes fixed it, but the point is that it appears to be fixed. I am only in Whiterun, and so far the guards only have imperial swords and iron axes, none of the immersive weapons mod stuff, but I'm also using Skyre so that could be affecting it as well. Even so, much better than just daggers right? Let me know if this works for you and I keep will keep you updated on my progress with the other holds as well. Good luck and happy gaming.

So when I start a new game, all the guards only equip steel daggers. They have other weapons in their inventory (when killed or pick pocketed) but will not equip them, even when attacked. The only exception seems to be that they will equip ranged weapons. All other NPCs seem to be fine, this issue is limited to guards and occasionally soldiers. I have tried removing all weapons mods and that has not fixed the problem, so it has to be something else. This also only happens in new games, the oldest continuing save game I have is unaffected, even when accessing Solstheim for the first time a few weeks ago (All Redoran Guards equip proper weapons). This is driving me crazy and help is greatly appreciated. Here is my load order, I use BOSS. Have at it.

Any of you ever resolve this issue?

Was this ever resolved for you?

No one?

So I have this issue where soldiers and guards only will equip daggers when I start a new game. My old games are fine, everyone equips weapons (vanilla or modded) just fine. This only happens at the start of a new game. Bandits and follower NPCs seem to be fine, only a problem with hold guards and soldiers. I've been able to find very little info on this problem, only that a few other people have it, but there doesn't seem to be a fix yet. Here is my mod list and load order. Thanks for any help.

I have this same problem. I think it has something to do with a conflict between aMidianBorn and immersive weapons. I also have a problem where the Companions wearing the aMedianBorn Wolf Armor do not have any weapons equipped (Skjor, Farkas, Vilkas). I would suggest uninstalling immersive weapons OR aMidianBorn and starting a new game (personally would choose immersive weapons, as cool as they were, I never really found myself using any of them except the Falkreath Sword), as that fixed the issue with the guards and soldiers for me. Companions and a few other characters still refuse to equip weapons unless attacked. The problem only started for me after I installed aMidianBorn Book of Scilence.
