Game mode: [Online] Problem: [Bug | Misc] Region: [America official server 2506] * * * So I recently ran into the problem, which has never been an issue, that my thrall, when given a truncheon (with their weapon taken from them) they will equip it and get into battle stance but never swing/ knock out thralls. I recently got a Cimm Bessemer brand new, she kills fine, I took her sword and handed her a truncheon and she won’t help me knock out anything. * * * Steps on how to reproduce issue: 1.Give follower truncheon 2.take all other weapon away 3. Enter combat/ attack a thrall 4. Wait for follower to help bludgeon said thrall with a truncheon to knock out…except you’re stuck waiting and get mauled while follower watches with their truncheon out staring at the enemy. ---

Switching weapons out can cause thralls to become “confused” and they won’t attack. This has been a known problem for a very, very long time that Funcom has yet to resolve. Sometimes if you put a 2-H weapon back in their hand, they’ll work again, but sometimes not and you have to wait for a server reset. Right now, I just use a dedicated thrall who only knocks people out and nothing else. If all they have is a truncheon in their inventory since the server restarts, then they’re fine. Just never swap it for something else or you’re back in the same mess. ---

Thanks. I will safeguard and designate a Volcano thrall and have him be my partner in enslaving… 🤭 Er knocking out entire capitols so I can cherry pick my victims. Thanks. ---

They’re not your victims, you are their benefactor, saving them from a life of misery and giving them purpose. 😏 ---

Sometimes if you place the truncheon on their head until it sticks in their hand (yes you read that right), it will cure the problem. ---

I never take it off, but I’ve heard some people say it helps to remove a piece of armor sometimes. ---

Hello @xNoviaX, as it has been mentioned the team is aware and looking into this. The issue seems to occur more frequently when changing from a one handed weapon to a two handed one, or vice-versa. Please refer to the following video for a few workarounds around the issue: ---
