Hey there fellow gamers! Have you ever noticed that characters in Baldur’s Gate 3 always sheath their weapons to the back, regardless of the type? Well, it seems like it’s becoming a big pet peeve for some players out there. In this article, we will take a closer look at how weapons should be carried according to real history and whether Baldur’s Gate 3 got it right. So, grab your weapons, and let’s dive into this debate together!
How Can I Sheath a Weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3?
To sheath a weapon in Baldur’s Gate 3, there are two methods. First, players can switch to a bow and press the “U” key. The other option is to open the inventory and drag the equipped weapon to the appropriate sheath slot on the character’s paper doll.
The default way for sheathing weapons in Baldur’s Gate 3 is on the back, but some players have expressed concern that this may not be historically accurate for certain weapon types. It’s worth noting that some players have criticized the oversized appearance of some weapons in the game.
Toggle Weapon Mode or How It Works in Baldur’s Gate 3
To toggle between weapon sets in Baldur’s Gate 3, you can use the “Toggle Weapon Set” switch located under the weapon attacks. If you equip two melee weapons, you can switch between “One-Handed” and “Dual Wield” modes. Using “One Handed” lets you attack with your main hand only, while “Dual Wield” allows you to attack with both weapons using your action and bonus action. However, you can still manually attack with both hands using your main and offhand attacks. It’s not possible to have more than a melee and ranged weapon set. But, you can change weapons at any time, even during combat.
How Many Times Can I Switch My Weapons?
Players are currently allowed to switch their weapons back and forth as many times as they like in Baldur’s Gate 3. However, some players have expressed concern that this gives too much of an advantage, such as being able to equip a shield after hitting with a two-handed weapon or gaining an extra 2 AC by switching to a shield or a different weapon set. To balance this out, some players have suggested limiting weapon switching to one per turn or locking the weapons once an action or bonus action has been used. It is important to note that switching weapons in 5e is not a free action and requires the “Dual Wielder” feat to stow or draw two weapons at once.

How Can I Dual-Wield Melee Weapons in Baldur’s Gate 3?
To equip two weapons in Baldur’s Gate 3, don’t drag and drop gear into slots. Instead, left-click the gear slot in the equipment menu. For weapons, start with the top button for your main hand, then left-click the lower one. You’ll see a list of what you can equip that accounts for what’s in your other hand, such as a blade you can dual wield within your offhand or a shield that may change the versatile options of whatever’s in your main hand. This is a foolproof method that can prevent mistakes, such as equipping a short sword instead of a long sword. With this method, you can easily equip two weapons and switch between them as needed during combat.
In conclusion, equipping and managing weapons in Baldur’s Gate 3 can be tricky, but there are a few methods to make it easier. Players can sheath their weapons on their back by opening the inventory and dragging the equipped weapon to the appropriate sheath slot. Additionally, players can toggle between one-handed and dual-wield modes by equipping two melee weapons and then clicking on the appropriate button. It’s important to note that players can switch their weapons as many times as they want in a turn, but once they take an action or bonus action, their weapons will be locked until their next turn. With these tips, you should be well on your way to mastering weapon management in Baldur’s Gate 3.
