Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Help Tips & Tricks Easy way to switch between melee/ranged?

Hi everyone,

Playing with a controller, and steam deck here. Is there an easy way to swap between held melee weapon and ranged weapon? Not only for cosmetic looks, (I like to keep my sword equipped) but I keep derping when I got to dip my weapon, and it dips the crossbow instead. The only way I know how to do this, is to pull open the action will and click on the sword or the crossbow. This works but feels a little clunky. And you can't do it at the end of a turn because the options are grayed out.

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I'm not playing with a controller, so this may not be relevant, but just clicking on which weapon you want to equip in the main interface (bottom, next to the round character portrait) should swap to it. There's no cost for swapping between ranged and melee or vice versa, so go wild.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, that interface doesn't exist for controller users.
