Oddly enough, swapping between your equipped weapons in Bayonetta 3 isn’t really explained very well in the game. While playing as Bayonetta, you can have up to two weapons equipped at any point in time, and you can switch between them just by pressing the L button.

The switch is pretty much instantaneous, which can result in some fun combos as well, depending on your loadout.

As you progress through the game, you’ll also start to collect a number of new and interesting weapons to play around with.

To equip them, bring up the menu with the – button while you’re in a level, then press L or R to tab over to your weapons tab. From here, select a weapon slot by pressing A, then select the weapon you want to equip in that slot.
