InWo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s initial tutorial level, players will eventually get taught how to perform a Deflect to block an enemy’s Critical Blow. Right after that guard is done for, there’s a shack on the left side of the path that houses a chest with players' first alternate weapon: thePolearm Podao. This is considered a melee weapon inWo Long, and players can equip two of them simultaneously, and they can be switched on the fly, even duringcombat and boss scenarios.
How to Equip Other Weapons in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
OnceWo Long: Fallen Dynastyplayers have acquired a new melee weapon, go ahead and open the menu with the pause button. Tab over to theEquipmentsection, which is the one on the far left next to Inventory. Players should immediately see a red exclamation mark over the melee weapon slots, signifying a new weapon is available to equip. Choose the second slot and equip the new polearm (or any other weapon you want on your person).

How to Switch Equipped Melee Weapon
ForWo Longplayerswondering how to go about switching between the two weapons in combat, there are two ways to do so. The first way is to simplyhold RT or R2 and then press the up/down d-pad button.
The other way to change weapons is a little more involved but helps players deflect an attack while delivering a powerful blow.By pressing RB (R1) and the deflect button (B or O), players can perform a Deflect Counterattack.
Not only does the move quickly change the equipped melee weapon, but it can recover players' negative spirit if timed to match up with an incoming attack from an enemy. Of course, pulling off deflects will take some getting used to, just like otherSouls-like games.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynastyplayers will eventually meet the Blacksmith that can upgrade weapons and armor; however, they’ll require resources from the player to do so.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynastyis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
