"Weapon swap" is a keybind that allows characters to switch from 2 different sets of weapons, shields, quivers and unarmed attacks.

Mechanics

  • Characters can switch weapon sets at any time in the fight.
  • Weapons that characters use the majority of the time are called primary weapons. Weapons that characters use the minority of the time are called secondary weapons.
  • Gems placed in a weapon slot that is not being used will still gain experience.
  • You can store vaal souls on your weapon swap when they get full and gain souls on a separate vaal skill.
  • The most common use for swapping weapons is to gain the benefits of snapshot on your secondary weapon.
