Equip 2 has your follower equip weapons immediately as they are given to them. If they are using a combat style that supports dual wield, they are using a single handed weapon and their left hand is open, the next single handed weapon given will be equipped to the left hand for dual wield.

Vanilla behavior has companions take/pickup weapons and equip the best ones in their inventory at the time of combat. If their combat style is dual wield, they would only equip both weapons at the time of a fight. If you just have them draw their weapon, they would only draw one outside of combat.

I originally made this mod for Nether's Follower Framework by Netherworks. However, this script could easily be applied to other follower mods. Please let me know in the comments which one you use (if not already listed in the Files section) and I'll see about implementing it.
