Set “crossbow” as their weapon
Start game

Guards shoots a crossbow

Observed Result

Guard will shoot with an assault rifle. This was not said anywhere in UEFN

someone on Reddit said that if you search for weapons with the “Guard” filter ticked then it displays the weapons that can be used by guards

i don’t think you can change the guard weapon via the creative/edit interface but if you find the gun you want you can then go back to UEFN and set the guard weapon, it’s working for me so far

Yes that’s the current workaround, that’s why I said in the OP “UEFN”, cause you need to open live edit and see the list. Would be nice to know in UEFN as well.
