Destiny 2: How to Equip Heavy Weapon

HOW TO EQUIP YOUR POWER WEAPON IN DESTINY 2

As anyone that played the first game will know, Destiny 2 is a first-person shooter that will see you take on aliens from other planets or other Guardians in the Crucible. Loot is also an important part and you’ll be consistently changing your loadout to work out which weapons are best for you. You have three slots to fill and you can switch between them on the fly.

To change weapons in Destiny 2 you’ll need to press the Triangle/Y button. Pressing the button will switch between your kinetic and energy weapon slot (which used to be called primary and secondary). To equip your power weapon, Destiny 2’s major heavy hitters, you’ll need to hold the button down.

When it comes to equipping different weapons in each slot and which power weapon you have at your disposal, you’ll need to actually go into the character menu to do so. You can carry nine extra weapons of each type and you change them by hovering the selector over the one you want to equip and pressing X/A. Now, when you hit Triangle/Y while playing, you’ll be able to equip the new weapon or alternate power weapon you just selected.

That is all there is to equipping power weapons in Destiny 2. You’ll be finding many new power weapons, so be sure to switch them up regularly to work out which is your favorite.
