40.40 Introduced issue where guards can no longer equip Arc-Lightning Gun

Summary

Since the 40.40 update, guards cannot equip the Arc-Lightning Gun. They run around with empty hands as if they have no weapon. This was tested on an Npc Definition who uses the default guard behavior and the solo item in their inventory is the Arc-Lightning Gun (L4 and L5 are both effected). This issue might have been caused by the bug fix for the Arc-Lightning gun UI that is mentioned in the 40.40 patch notes.
