Getting Bravo to use secondary weapons?

[MOAB]

The only valid commands for Bravo should be:

1) Sit

2) Follow

3) Give me your ammo and other weapons

4) Hold Fire

Bravo doesn't use handguns unless they run out of bullets. I know this because i experimented by telling them to cover an area with a guy inside the building and when they ran out of bullets they eventually switched to their handguns. You wouldn't guess what they did next. When they ran out of handgun bullets they actually went and looked for a body and took the gun off of them.

We have all been killed by Jester and messed up a good mission due to Bravo not carrying out orders. I love reading the stories of everybodys misfortune with this cast of misfits; some are down right funny and others aggarvatting. I posted one myself yesterday but there are 2 realitys of this (A) Zipper must do better next time and (B) meanwhile you must beat the missions and baby sit at the same time... EXAMPLE-yesterday after Jesters screw up I darn not let him out of site in a fire at will mode and when holding fire I still keep him close and with ample cover; Bravo has been not much but a little more trusting.

That's pretty crazy that they actually know to go get a gun off a body.

I've never had them use pistols or anything so far, although I should try and find a spot so I can also see the body thing.

I do remember that in Socom 2 if you gave them like an M79 or other grenade launcher they would run around with their pistol, and then you could order to deploy "Frag 2", at which point they would fire a grenade at where you were pointing.

I know that in Deep Strike they will pop their AT-4's when they see the trucks, but I haven't really bothered giving them M203/GL/Airburst yet so I'm not sure. The few times I have I don't think they've used them.

When I was playing deep strike yesterday I didn't take the AT-4 so I could take the .50 cal rifle instead so I could just pick of the drivers of the trucks. When the runaway truck came through I missed and it almost got away, but I had Killjoy equipped with an AT-4 and he actually managed to take it out just before it got out of visual range.

Jester can sometimes be stupid with the AT-4 and blow up the whole team, but at least he is not as bad as Boomer from the first SOCOM. Boomer never listened to any commands you gave him. Whenever you have Jester with a AT-4 make sure you always have hold fire on, unless many enemies come to rush you.

They will rarely use them but if u consisnently watch them ull notice the use them every once in a while, however jester almost always used his hand gun for close up enemys in Brewing Chaos

Grenade launchers must have that grenade eqipped in the menu before you continue with the mission. You can then order Bravo and Able teams to fire that particular grenade from the launcher. When the teams are eqipped with AT-4s and RPGs, you must give the order "Clear Area", place the crosshairs a few feet from a tank, the ZSU, or any other item that needs to be destroyed,yet, this item must be indicated on the TACMAP, if not your team will do nothing and insult you.

[TaiChiChuan]

You can get Able (Jester) and Bravo Teams to use the AT-4s and RPGs by pointing the crosshairs at or just shooting at a distance from technicals, tanks, and the ZSU. However, they will have to get on one knee to shoot it and this will lead them to get runned over. So be quick at your commands. AI teams will not use their secondary weapons at all. I've tried many times with weapon equipped variations with no success. Grenade launchers work just issue the correct command for that grenade.

I started using my pistol and one of my other guys pulled his out... maybe it was timing maybe he was copying me...
