I assume if you picked a character with a weapon he should still have it when one respawns. Or are you referring second weapon placed under him at spawn? You can also give the character a custom weapon outlined in the "Official Guide" page-255.
Just a thought, when you build/test your MP-game are you using
"random" start markers or the "designated" start marker for
your character? Thinking that if you do use "random" start
your second weapon of course wont be under you when you spawn.
