Weapon Racks DO NOT Work : V

» Wed May 16, 2012 10:42 am

I have tried with 1h, 2h, 1h with nothing else equipped, staves, shields, all variations of different weapons equipped, sheathed, and unsheathed. Absolutely nothing works as far as getting my mounts to work.

House is in Whiterun, I own the Xbox 360 version. If I organize stuff in my house, exit, and re-enter the stuff is where I originally dropped it.

This makes it impossible for me to do jack [censored] in my house, and it's really irritating. Does anyone else know if this is a common bug? Will it be fixed soon if so?

Thanks guys.. And gals..

Strange. PC-version here and they work as intended.

I've actually found some other posts on the internet about people having the same problem. I wonder if Bethesda is aware?

If you're using a mount, why are you dropping items?

ON the 360 and mine works fine. It holds weapons when I put them there. Am I missing something?

I have the xbox version and it works. Equip the weapon you want to put there and use x to store it.

yeah 360 here and it works fine
but I'm not sure you're using them right because you say you drop stuff?

the weapon racks just take whatever weapon you have equipped when activating them
equip weapon you want to place in rack (put it in your hand) and use the weapon rack (press A when prompted)
I did lose this really cool butterfly in a jar when upgrading my house but I geuss that sort of makes sense and is my own fault

Equip weapon into your hands, walk up to weapon rack and press the interact button. At least that's how it works for my house in Whiterun on the Ps3 version. 2 open spots directly to your right as you walk in the front door. One directly over the front door and a 2 weapon+Shield spot above your bed.

Dropping items in regards to decorating manually. Such as tables and dressers with gems on top of them. The weapon racks still won't work. I am not even given a prompt to do so.

PC version - works just fine for me. I have two staves in my rack in Whiterun and my potion "closet" has troll skulls and embalming tools right where I placed them. Swords and shield on the mounts upstairs too.

Weapon mounts work fine for me. I'm betting this is user error.

You don't drop them on the weapon rack. =/

1. Equip a weapon.
2. Hold it in your hand.
3. Use the weapon rack. It will fill from left to right.

Are you trying to drop it into the mount by carrying it with holding A? You have to have the weapon equipped and you just press A to activate the weapon rack.

No, lol. I have done it exactly like you said. I explained two problems I am having.

1st: I equip a weapon, approach the rack, press a and x, and nothing happens. At all, whatsoever.

2nd: When I put things on my tables, they reappear on the ground when I re-enter my home. In order to put things on your tables, you must first drop it, correct? Okay, what I am telling you is that once I pick the item up and place it on my table, exit the house, and re-enter, the item(s) are exactly where I dropped them instead of being placed neatly on the table where I put them.

Does that make more sense? I am not trying to drop the weapons into a rack, lol.

It seems to work fine with one handed weapons, and most two handed weapons with an obvious 'grip.'

It fails HORRIBLY with staff type weapons, or anything else with an unusual model. Wabbajack and the Vaermina Skull thing are two that spring to mind which will fall out of the rack upon enter/exit.

Bethesda is aware of the flubber items/floating frozen items/return to original spot items. It may or may not be fixed in the upcoming patch. We'd all like to see it fixed.

XBOX version and it works just fine for me

I had some NPC in my house when I went in there the other day. Amren, I think. Maybe he is trolling around your house when you are gone and knocking all your stuff over.

I think Amren wants his ass kicked then.

360 here, and I am having the SAME problem with the weapon rack/plaques. the only one that works like it should is the in the upstairs common area of Breezehome. The rack downstairs doesn't show a prompt even if I am holding the weapon. Neither do the plaque above the front door, or the one over the bed upstairs(even after I take the swords/shield down). So far I haven't tried dropping random items to decorate yet, so no clue on whether or not the other issue is happening.

There is a possible xbox fix for the whiterun home.
