While it has been out for a while on PC, Dauntless is finally available as a free to play title on consoles. Here’s everything you need to know about how to change weapons and equip armor in Dauntless.

How to Equip Armor Change Weapons in Dauntless

As in other monster hunting type games, like, um, Monster Hunter, in Dauntless, you have an arsenal of weapon types to choose from each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and play styles. For example, you can opt for the Sword, which is a balance between speed and power and is an easy weapon for newcomers to try out.

There’s the War Pike which is great for creating weak points and assisting with breaking behemoths. And also, if you like slow and powerful weapons, there’s the Hammer which, while being clumsy but devastatingly powerful, has a shotgun attachment feature as well. Pretty neat!

While you’ll quickly develop your favorites as you play, you might be wondering how to change weapons in case you change your mind, or just want to try something new depending on the behemoth your fighting and your team’s strategy.
