Giving Virginia a Weapon in Sons of the Forest

In order to give Virginia a weapon you will have to find the pistol on the map and also be associated/be friends with her first. This can be done by making sure you have your weapons holstered and out of sight near her. As long as you continue not doing anything which might be seen as hostile near her she will approach you.

After this, you will notice that she may start to wander within your base a lot more which is a great sign you have successfully got her around for both of you to help each other. Now you can hold the E key when near Virginia to open your backpack in front of her — from there you can transfer your pistol over to your new companion and she will be able to utilize it on the field.

Once you give over your weapon you will be able to get it back. In order to do this you just need to simply go up to Virginia and hold the E key again to start the transferring process again.
