Suppressed weapons that companions can use?

[communistbacon]

As someone who is currently playing through with a semi-stealthy character, I realized that whenever you give your companion a modded weapon (in my case Boone) he

equips the un-modded version of said weapon, which completely negates any stealthy benefits that the weapon has.

 

I realize that there is Christine's Co S silencer rifle, however I'd rather not use it because my character and I are currently fully loaded out with modern weapons / armor so I'd very much

prefer to use one of the modded sniper rifles that fits in with the rest of the equipment. And yes I realize that I am being quite picky with this, so I just want to know if there is a quick fix / solution for this.

 

Thanks in advance.

Any weapon modification you add to weapons wont take effect when equipped by followers. That means they will only use a suppressed weapon if it's suppressed by default... your best choice would be unique weapons like the ratslayer or the Christine's sniper rifle you mentioned. But keep in mind that a few mods actually change the weapon mods in the unique weapons, so they would ended up unsuppressed anyway. LOL

If you want to pick the look, then maybe you should try weapon mods that add suppressed weapons already, in this case an sniper rifle already suppressed by default without the option to equip/unequip the silencer

Well noted, I'll look into some modded rifles that are already pre-suppressed.
