This wasn't really an issue in DOS2 as weapon type was linked to your "class"/specialization. You would specialize or be horribly sub-optimal. Swapping weapons was prohibitively expensive in terms of action points unless you were playing "lone-wolf"/solo who were overcompensated with more action points (to the point of making solo-play easier than playing a full team).
