CLEARLY have multiple weapons prepared for immediate use!

I agree that adding additional weapon slots would be great as a QoL improvement to the hot bar, in fact I think hot bar should be a lot wider, even wide enough cover the entire bottom of the screen so we don't have to pick and choose what things to put in it. In any case that spear/shield thing is not something you'd actually ever use, it would be awkward and basically useless, so I wouldn't consider it a ready weapon. It looks like the artist took a traditional Zulu shield and added a spear point because it looked cool but historically no one ever used a shield like it's depicted. The closest you'll get are warriors holding an extra spear or a javelin or two in their shield hand but even then you'd still have to sheath or drop your main hand weapon to use it.
