Weapon Slots

[Blxz]

Currently a bit confused about weapon slots on the characters. As far as I can tell the character seems to always favour the second weapon slot (which is only big enough for a katana). In order to make my character use the cleaver I have equipped in slot 1 I must unequip the smaller slot 2 weapon. Is there a toggle somewhere that I am missing? Or is this somehting that is planned to be incorporated in the future? ie. confined spaces requiring the katana while open spaces can use the larger weapon?

slot 1 is for the weapon your character wields on his back, while slot2 is for the weapon he wields at his side.
I dont know if a feature to change your weapon on the go will be implemented but for now and until otherwise stated:

he will automatically choose the higher quality katana

meaning the one who does most damage

So purely cosmetic then. I had a bigger sword on my guy's back. But his skill in that was lower; probably why he selected the katana instead. Since I wanted him to train in that new weapon class I had to remove the katana. At least i know my other character can have the cosmetic look of multiple weapons and he will choose the better weapon.

If Chris hasn't changed it since about month ago, then the game uses the overall stats of your weapons to decide which to use, so it does NOT take into account how good your chara is with the different types of blades.
But it may have been updated so as to take weapon skills into account...

Also in the future if you bust your right arm (stronger arm) your chara will have to use the smaller/lighter 2nd-slot katana. (not yet implemented as far as i know)
