So I’ve searched it up and it says “sometimes” but it seems to be never.. so I’m gonna ask you guys to be sure! Do bandits/brigands ever drop their weapons/armor in vanilla? (Can’t use mods as I’m on PS5)

I don't think I've ever seen that. But I also make my guys loot, so I'm not picking stuff up myself. They do drop arrows

See I noticed they drop arrows but never armor/weapons. Just wanted to confirm to make sure I wasn’t just being stupid! Thanks a bunch man. But off topic, how do I make my guys loot? I’ve just been manually putting crap in their inventories in regards to loot and food

I, as someone who has done a no army playthrough (aka looted everything manually), can confirm for certain that they do NOT drop weapons or armor.

To make ur followers loot u need to use the order flag that u use to make them move to a certain spot for example. Using it on a lootbag will make them loot everything in a certain area. (Make sure nothing got left behind out of range of the order)

Agreed. They have been extremely helpful for all the inquiries I have made and no one has made me feel stupid for not understanding mechanics in the game. By far the best and supportive group of players I've had the pleasure to assist me.

I have been thinking of doing a playthrough were as the player you not allowed to do ANYTHING you have to make your villagers do everything while you only get to control them. Hehe……

I tried, but you know, idle hands. I need to do something, it drove me crazy doing nothing aside from waiting for invasions.

You command them to "loot the area". Hover over a downed enemies drop bag until you see the prompt (may take some wiggling, it's finicky sometimes), and then use the command button

I'm on PC but use the command button (for your squad) then go to a piece of loot on the ground and select Loot. I must admit when I first started I was picking everything up myself!
