Female footstep sound missing when sprinting with sheathed shield

Game mode: Online official and Single-player
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: All
Mods?: No
Edition: Steam

Bug Description:

With the option ‘show sheathed weapons’ switched on, female characters have a different sprinting animation when a shield is equipped and sheathed on their back (presumably to avoid the elbows clipping through the shield) but that animation doesn’t have any footstep sound in my game. With shields on their back every female sprints absolutely silently. The bug only affects female characters in the Exiled Lands and on Siptah, both single player and in various online modes.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a new game, select a female character and start
  2. Open Admin Panel spawn a shield
  3. Make sure to have the option for sheathed weapons activated
  4. Equip shield, sheathe it to your back and sprint

Tested on flotsam wood foundations (easier to hear footstep ‘thumps’)

Normal jog
no shield: footsteps
with shield: footsteps

Sprint
no shield: footsteps
with shield: no footsteps

Truly an odd interaction there.
