Unequip Those Weapons!

[VforValence]

This is something that's always bugged me. I've found several mods that let me take armor off or "remove" a companion's weapons, but they always end up re-equipping a copy or something.

 

The worst offender is Veronica with her big clunky power fist that looks wrong on most of her armors, at least Boon's rifle can be replaced with something less clippy and conspicuous.

I feel like Death The Kid here (neurotic OCD) is there any way to make NPC's not show their weapons while they're holstered or take off the default ones permanently? I'd personally like to throw Veronica's power fist into the BoS bunker and blow the whole place up.

I've thought about this too, I wonder if there's a mod like this.

I don't know. I always give Veronica a Super Sledge instead, and she'll use it unless it gets disarmed by a lucky shot. I know I have on that lets me take their weapons away, because it also allows them to use normal ammo instead of companion brand, but I'm not sure which one it is.

Yeah I think so, let me put together a mod for you to try. Back in a few....

OK did this just for Veronica first to test. Everything should be removable and usable by the player, commented out the equip for her powerfist from here script. Let me know if it works and if you'd like it for other companions. It's here.

you can use console commands for this

 

just empty out your companions inventory of your items

 

bring up the console then click on them

 

then type "removeallitems" without the quotation marks

that will get rid of their gear and let you put on your own

 

NPC's AI tells them to put on the armor with the highest DR

so if you want them to wear something specific just increase its DR

in the geck

Actually because at the developers always assumed the characters would have their special weapons there is/are script(s) that can restore them. One example is the VNPCFollowersQuestSCRIPT. It's why VforValence said;

That seems to work for Veronica, for the first time ever she'll use spiked knuckles instead of that eyesore of a powerfist, finally she doesn't need Recon Armor to look right (that's about the only armor that seems to look right with a power fist, IMO)

 

A mod like this for all the NPC's would be great, I'd definitely endorse it if I knew about it.

No problem, I'll start to work on it, amigo.
