We will soon have access to the Diablo 4 open beta, which is dropping later this week on March 24. However, those who received early access to the beta have now been playing since Friday, and it’s been running about as smoothly as we would expect.
Blizzard Entertainment has brought some new features to the table with Diablo 4, available now in the early access beta. However, some players have had a bit of trouble navigating the game’s controls and mechanics, particularly those relating to combat and weaponry.
Here’s how to switch your weapons in Diablo 4.
How Do You Switch Weapons in Diablo IV?
A handful of new gameplay features have been introduced to the franchise with the drop of Diablo 4’s open beta, many of which have affected in-game combat. Among these new features is the weapon-switching system.
Switching your weapons in the new installment seems to relate to the skills and abilities of your own character, meaning you will not be able to use certain weapons if your character is currently unable to do so based on their skillset.

How to Switch Your Character’s Weapons:
