Can we have a possibility to equip weapons to companions?

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.
