Weapon Rack

The  is a miscellaneous item found in.

Summary
Weapon Racks are interactable objects found in various locations throughout Skyrim.

Activating a Weapon Rack will Store your currently Equipped Weapon in the rack, and you can retrieve the weapon at any time. It is also possible to store Quest-related weapons that are not normally disposable (such as Delvin's Bow) in Weapon Racks.

Bugs

 * Sometimes the weapon rack will cease to function, and the option to place items on the rack will not appear when you look at it.
 * If the option to use the weapon rack won't appear, it's possible to fix it by punching it with fists. another way to fix this is to upgrade all of the possible things in you house before you go in.
 * Still the option may not appear, in which case there is no fix.*
 * If you have a weapon that is a quest item equipped it is possible to put it on the weapon rack.
 * Some weapons placed on a rack will fall off when you leave your home. This seems to happen most often to greatswords, such as a Dwarven Greatsword or Glass Greatsword, and the Ebony Blade.
 * Sometimes when you put weapons on the weapon rack they just float in mid-air not even attached to it.
 * Sometimes when you place a weapon on the rack it disappears and cannot be retrieved.
 * Sometimes the improvement on a weapon will dissapear.

* I think I figured out how to fix this issue. This fix involves lots of console commands, so it will only work on the PC. Also, it is not a permanent fix, so don’t rehang your newly appropriated Ghost Blade. So, I made the mistake of putting my Ghost Blade on one of the weapon racks, and now it is MIA. That is OK, as I can get a new one using the console. What I can’t live with is the broken weapon rack or plaque. It is all about the aesthetics people, and I got tired of moving. Anyway, this is what I know. The weapon racks have two parts. The first part is the graphic you see, and second an invisible activator. When you activate a weapon rack or plaque, the activator is disabled until you remove the weapon. So you need to re-enable the Activator, but first you need to find the activator.

A) Get in front of the broken weapon rack so it is centered in view.

B) Open the console with tilde (~)

C) Select the broken weapon rack with the mouse by clicking on it.

D) Type “showvars” and press Enter. Use the Page Up and Down keys to scroll.

E) You need to know the name of the “Trigger” var. Mine was “HasBeenTriggered_var”

F) You also need the number for the Activator under “ActivatorDef_var”

G) Type “SETPV False”. Mine was “SETPV HasBeenTriggered_var False”

H) Type “Prid ” and hit enter. Mine was “Prid 0006D95F”

I) Type “Enable” and press enter J) Exit the console, look away from the Rack, then look back

I hope this helps you, and spares you hours of going through Skyrim Papyrus code. If you enjoy that kind of masochistic behavior, this is the web site that gave me most of the information: http://www.creationkit.com/Dissecting_the_Scripts_for_Weapon_Racks
