Sort of.
On my alt, weapons are re-equipped. Every time, without fail.
Getting up after the filth wave from Shub stunned me and I lose the rocket launcher ? Weapons re-equipped.
Delivering the stolen corn and losing the spade ? Weapons re-equipped (and then replaced by fists for …)
Beating up Thato ? Weapons re-equipped.
Cleaned the 4th hut and losing the broom ? Weapons re-equipped.
Even after leaving the gym, my weapons are put back in.
However, on my main I have to do it manually. Also each and every time.
I’m still drawing a blank as to why. I went through the settings, played with various weapons, tried to check if displaying weapons mattered or not … I cannot find anything that would explain the difference.
And no, inventory space is never an issue for me.
