How to Change Arsenal Selection in Diablo 4

Unlike the other classes in Diablo 4, the Barbarian can make use of the Arsenal Selection system to cycle through various weapons at a moment’s notice. However, the skills on your hotbar can dictate which weapons are allowed for use in the Arsenal, and I’m here to explain the full system.

Arsenal Weapon Selection Explained in Diablo 4

To change your Arsenal selection in Diablo 4, press X/Square on a controller over your skill, or press the middle mouse button. However, you need to check the skill requirements of your active abilities. Each of the active abilities for the Barbarian will list specific weapon types, such as slashing or bludgeoning. Some abilities only allow one weapon, while others allow all four weapons to be used.

Because you can have four different weapons equipped on the Barbarian in Diablo 4, you don’t need to worry about using the skill itself to swap weapons. With the auto-select system, your Barbarian will simply select the weapon that works with a skill such as Whirlwind and apply your most powerful weapon as well.

How to Change Arsenal Weapons in Diablo 4:

• Hover over your Active Skill and check the required weapon types.
• Tap X on an Xbox Controller
• Tap Square on a PlayStation Controller
• Tap the Middle Mouse Button on Keyboard and Mouse

Going beyond the Arsenal Selection system in Diablo 4, there is also an expertise system that is unique to the Barbarian alone. This allows you to specialize in the weapons that are integral to your active skills. I recommend getting used to this as fast as possible so you can make the most of your warrior within Sanctuary.
