The Evil Within 2 Guide › Basics

Using the Arsenal Menu

Hold or press (depending on your control scheme) the Arsenal button to open your Arsenal Menu. Here you can do or view the following:

  • Select an active Weapon or piece of Equipment including medical items or a Bottle if you have any.
  • Assign Weapons and/or Equipment to each of the four Shortcut slots. This lets you switch weapons or select equipment rapidly. Using the mouse/keyboard setup on PC gives the player 8 shortcut slots.
  • View your stores of Green Gel, Red Gel, Weapon Parts, and High-Grade Weapon Parts on the right side of the screen.
  • View your Health and Stamina bars, your currently equipped ranged weapon or equipment, and your currently equipped melee weapon (Knife or Axe) in the upper left corner of the screen.
  • Select the Field Crafting option, which lets you craft ammo or health items without using a Workbench. (For more on Field Crafting, see the next section.)
