Now that Anthem is out, players are gearing up and jump into their adventure in Bastion. While there is so much that the game explains to you, there is no explanation of how to switch weapons in Anthem. This may seem like a really strange thing to get stuck on but it can certainly happen. It sucks because this is so important to the game.
Knowing how to switch weapons is something almost universally the same in shooters. Well, Anthem is a little different in this regard. In addition, you can experiment for a bit and still not know how to switch weapons in Anthem. Thankfully, that’s where we come in. We are going to let you know what you need to do in order to do this.
How to Switch Weapons in Anthem
First and foremost, you need to unlock a second weapon slot. At the beginning of the game, you can only equip one weapon at at time. As you level up, you will quickly gain access to a second weapon slot. You can equip this in the Forge if you’re having issues with that.
Now, onto how to switch weapons in Anthem. We had trouble with this as well but it’s actually simple. We checked the controls in the settings and found out all you need to do is hold down the reload button. For us on PS4, that button is the square button. So, just make sure to hold down your respective reload button and you’ll be good to go.
If you need to switch back to your initial weapon, all you need to do is hold down the reload button again. For more guides like this for Anthem, be sure to check out the day one patch notes and how to get the Legion of Dawn armor.
