# Talk:Swap weapons
Does swapping weapons use a turn? In a critical situation, what's better: getting in a hit with the weapon already wielded, or swapping to a badder one? Netzhack (talk) 20:14, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Hitting x repeatedly to switch weapons does make the turn counter rise. This makes sense realistically, but I think some variants like SLEX have done away with it. --Phol ende wodan (talk) 20:18, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
