    Specifically I got that from checking Garland Tools; if something's not attainable, they list it as 'Custom'. But that's any level of custom, so they wouldn't be able to recognize it if it were, say, an existing model but textured differently, which I think is what happened here.

    Marsak's weapon actually looks to be a mashup of the Molybdenum and Nabaath gunblades, which share the same model but different textures; one has a dark blade but colored hilt, the other a dark hilt but a colored blade. Marsak looks to have a version with both a dark hilt and blade. Bajsaljen's Prester I can't really tell, but that might be because all my footage of Bajsaljen with his staff is pretty low-light.

    EDIT: Cross-referencing with Gamerescape, it looks like Garland Tools might be getting confused by these two having a weird situation of having weapons but their default appearance not having one, because Gamerescape just lists Prester and the Molybdenum Gunblade. Regardless, neither of them are wielding any of the resistance weapons!

    Good point on that, which made me think to check the "alternate instances" tab for the characters.

    So it seems that this version of Bajsaljen for example does simply have Prester equipped, and Marsak has the Molybdenum Gunblade.

    I'm not sure why they have custom weapons and offhand weapons in the other scenes, though; NPCs without weapons normally just don't have one equipped. Perhaps these characters are still set up as battle NPCs even in non-battle scenes where they don't have weapons visible, but the system needs something in the slot?
