How to hotkey Dual wielding


kaelling

Recommended Posts

First you have to favorite them by pressing F in the items/spells menus. Then you press Q in game to bring up the favorites menu.

Now I love dual wielding so I'm going to L-click and R-click on the sword to put on in each hand, then while I still have the sword selected if I press 1 that assigns that combo to 1 key any time I press it I'm now dual wielding swords.

Now comes the tricky part the sword is labeled with a 1 so I can't assign another key to it, but if I put my shield (or any other weapon) in my left hand and press 2 (while that item is highlighted) it will give me a sword/shield combo when ever I press the 2.

I can continue this by equipping the heal and pressing 3 and then fire by pressing 4 (while keeping that item highlighted). Want to add a great sword or bow select it and press your desired key.

 

Thx to majorjunk0 from reddit for this info:)

I have assigned 1 to sword and 2 to axe. But when I press the keys it replaces what weapon I have in my right hand. It works fine when I choose a spell, but a weapon simpy replaces the right hand. Is there anyway to fix this? It's kinda slow to go into the favorite menu everytime I want to dual wield two different weapons.

here is what i do, 1=bow 2=dagger but i dual wield daggers, so i do this instead, get my dagger out, press Q add the other dagger so i have 2, then press 1 for my bow, when i am ready to get back to my daggers i press 2 and they both stay, will keep that way till i remove 1 or use a spell if i wanted..then have to repeat the process

Nice, that worked. Although I don't use bow that often, I switch between dual wielding magic and dual wielding weapons. Edited by Ondsk

This is the only way i think. Hope Bethesda let us use more favorited combo setups after patch:)

It would be nice if hotkeyed weapons worked somewhat like hotkeyed spells...

 

Press the hotkey first time, goes in your main/right hand.

Press same key again, moves that weapon to your off/left hand.

Press again, with weapon in your off/left hand, unequips that weapon.

 

-OR-

 

Allow us to assign a hotkey to a specific weapon/spell combo. For example, press 1 and it equips my sword in right and fire spell in left, press 2 equips sword in right with axe in left, etc
