Switch Weapons in Elden Ring Nightreign

Weapons are the most integral part of the game. One of the most crucial systems is the weight aspect. The mobility of your character highly depends on the weight you are carrying in terms of armor, gear, and weapons. This can vary based on your playstyle. You could choose to play a faster, attack-based game with light weapons or a slower, defensive one with heavier weapons. Let us now look at how you can switch weapons.

First, enter the pause menu, using the input buttons as per your platform.
Go to the Equipment menu.
In this menu, you will be able to see a list of all the weapons you have.
Choose the weapon you wish to wield.

You can hold up to three different weapons in each hand. Once you have selected three weapons, you can cycle between them in-game for quick access during tight situations. This mechanic works with weapons, shields, and armor.

Button Input to Cycle between weapons:

Platform	Left Weapon	Right Weapon
PS4/PS5	Left D-Pad Button	Right D-Pad Button
Xbox	Left D-Pad Button	Right D-Pad Button
PC	Mouse Wheel Up	Mouse Wheel Down

Switch Weapon Stance in Elden Ring Nightreign

In Elden Ring Nightreign, you have the option to change your stance. As seen earlier, weapon weights are an important factor to keep in mind. They affect how you move and how you swing. That being said, you can choose which weapons work best in either arm to maximize damage and minimize effort. You could have two light weapons, one in each arm, a combination of a light and a heavy one, or just one weapon altogether.

Button Input to switch weapon stance:

Platform	Left Hand	Right Hand
PS4/PS5	Hold Triangle + ‘L1’	Hold Triangle + ‘R1’
Xbox	Hold ‘Y’ + ‘LB’	Hold ‘Y’ + ‘RB’
PC	Hold ‘E’ + ‘LMB’	Hold ‘E’ + ‘RMB’
