Normal - Guards will not equip basic melee weapons

I’m trying to have my guards be melee only, but can’t seem to find the right combination of settings that would allow it. And in doing so, I think I’ve discovered some bugs with the Guard Spawner Device:

  • If I set the Item List to only a Basic Hammer or Basic Sword, the guards still spawn with guns.
  • If I set the Item List to only a special melee weapon like the Shockwave Hammer, the guards again still spawn with guns.
  • If I set the Item List to only an Impulse Grenade, the guards spawn with a pickaxe. But then they only throw the grenades and barely melee attack unless you are standing on them.

How do I make guards only equip and attack with a basic melee weapon?
