If you also give them a good melee weapon but don't specifically equip it they will sometimes use that in close quarters. Then finally when all the ammo is gone they revert to their default gun. If you give them a couple of guns they usually swap them to suit the conditions or fall back to the lesser of the two when one runs out of ammo. I make sure not to use the same calibre weapons that they use.Īlso to save on ammo you might consider equipping them with a modded legendary melee weapon. I usually give them a couple of good guns that use different ammo types and the associated ammo, buying them more to keep them stocked. If you do that and it doesn't work then it's a bug. So if you want them to use that gun you have to give them heaps of ammo and also press the appropriate key/button on your gaming device whilst looking at their inventory that equips that weapon. They will go through a 1000 rounds and more in no time. If you give a companion a weapon and specifically equip it you also have to give them enough ammo so that they can waste it while they accompany you.
