Can we have a possibility to equip weapons to companions?

At difficulty beyond normal (hardcore or whatever in English) i'd like to equip specific weapons to companions like we could do it in ME3. Or may be I can but I can't figure out how? The problem is...

The lack of customization for companions is one of the biggest disappointments in this game. And not just customization, their AI in combat seems rather lacking as well. A lot of the time they don't bother with taking cover or anything, they just more or less stand out in the open and shot (and miss) and (miss)use their powers. My peebee keep wasting her biotic powers on shielded enemies even though there are plenty of non-shielded ones available. It seems like they compensated for this with the extremely high health and shields that companions get, at least compared to my engineering Ryder.

I would love to be able to choose weapons, or maybe just add mods, for my companions. And it would be awesome with alternative outfits like in ME2...

    What I really do not understand is why do we have the ability to craft tens of weapons and armors which no one will use. In my current game I crafted a Black Widow (now level 5) and now I am triyng N7 Valiant (lvl 5 as well). That is all. I have no need to craft any other weapon. The same goes with armor. I tried Pathfinder at lvl 3 and now have Maverick Deadeye at lvl 5. Again, no need to craft other. If we could give weapons and armor to companions, I would bother to collect resources and to craft them. I really wonder who made this decision not to be able to do it...

      Well, what weapon and armour you want to use is kind of dependent on which abilities you use and your playstyle, so there is a need for different weapons and stuff. Then there's also the feel of the gun. I love the predator just because how it handles, even though it might not be the best pistol out there.

      But, I agree that a lot of the stuff feel superfluous... and that it would be so much more meaningful to craft different types of gear if you could equip your companions.

        I would love to equip my squad with my special elite gear. Also, being able to give them some custom outfits would be fun as well!😉
