Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Technical & Gameplay Problems [BUG] Patch#3: Animate dead skeleton has no weapon

After patch#3, animate dead skeleton has no weapon (only fist to deal 1 damage). It cannot pick and/or equip any weapon too.

I'm having the same issue.
Even if I try to animate a corpse with a weapon on them them, there is no weapon when the skeleton or zombie is animated.

Same thing happening to me. Skeletons are completely useless now.

I switched to zombies only to discovery another game crippling bug. Zombies will inflict a debuff on anyone they successfully hit in combat that will cause them to come back as a newborn zombie. These zombies slowly die as soon as you leave combat. Turns out that if they die anywhere near a friendly NPC, it immediately turns all the nearby friendly NPCs hostile. I have already had to reload the game twice because of this.

We are now 2 for 2 on necromancy being broken in the current patch. Can't we at least get a hotfix the undoes whatever broke the skeletons?

I honestly thought that's how the spell worked, I feel ridiculously dumb now It was the first time I used animate the dead (skeleton) and it said it was unequipped and dealt 1 damage.
