## About

This patch prevents traders from auto-equipping the best weapons.

Previously that rendered them inaccessible during trading.

When NPCs are out of sight and at midnight, they automatically re-equip their best melee and ranged weapons.

When the player had traded them a better weapon, they would equip it making it unavailable for trading.

The patch intercepts the automatic weapon equipping and prevents NPCs from equipping the best melee and ranged weapons, if they already have another equipped.

Note, that NPCs merely do no longer *re-equip* their best melee and ranged weapon.

However, unrelated to the fix, if an NPC did *not yet have a weapon* of that type equipped, they will still do so.

This is an important mechanic of the game.

Without it, it may happen that NPCs fight with their fists as the game did not let them equip any weapon at all when they spawned.
