Fawkes won't equip his weapons, he just uses his fists.

Only the list on the far right "wins" and is the list used, that should be the one in your merge patch.

This is vital information for resolving such problems. ;)

You're welcome.

I'm having the same problem but I don't even have WMX installed (or even know what that mod is). Same issue. MOST super mutants will refuse to use their weapons (a few of them do), but mainly Fawkes will not equip his gatling laser.

Does he have ammo? NPCs/companions won't equip weapons they don't have ammo for. You can give Fawkes a gatling laser, but unless you also give him at least one electron charge pack, he'll never use it. Note that the standard setting for followers is they don't use ammo, so they only need ONE unit of ammo that will never get used. If you change their setting to use ammo, they'll use up ammo like you do and eventually run out.

You are using both AWOP mods but not both compatibility patches. You are missing the TTW-AWOPNV.esp file in your load order.
From the page of the patch:

If you are just using AWOP for New Vegas you need only the New Vegas patch.
If you are using both AWOP for New Vegas and TTW AWOP for Fallout 3 you need both patches.
