I have my dweller, Billy Grant, equipped with Tactical Junk Jet (15-19) exploring the wasteland. Along the way, he found a Plasma Rifle (17-18) and equip it himself --putting aside his TJJ. I wonder what is the logic for weapon preference? As I have always thought, it is the maximum number of damage.

A Dweller will automatically equip a weapon with a higher damage output.
Comparing the two weapons:
- TJJ: 15-19 = 17 average
- Plasma Rifle: 17-18 = 17.5 average
Hence the strange choice of weaponry

The average damage is what is used during exploration, so it won't hurt you. In Quest Zones, you want the Plasma Rifle because it is 3 shots vs the single big damage shot from the Junk Jet.– NelsonNov 1, 2016 at 1:23
