I need to switch my weapon out for a different one in my backpack. This, apparently, is a problem. The help thingy says nothing about switching weapons.

How do I do this?

[d]rop your current weapon, [r]emove the weapon you want to use from your backpack, and [g]et or [p]ut your previous weapon back in the backpack if you want to keep it.

Ahhh. Perhaps it should say something about that in the help...

Yeah, it is a bit confusing. It's probably on the wiki somewhere.

There is no explicit equipment command. Instead, they are automatically equipped when you either get them from the ground or remove them from your backpack - provided the hand that would wield them is free. So in order to change weapons or Shields you would need to put your equipped weapon into your backpack and then removing your new desired weapon. You do not need to drop weapons and equip new ones etc.

When you try to put a weapon in your backpack, you may get the following message: "You don't have a suitable container.". To swap your weapons easily you need to wear a second backpack. The game stores automatic all the stuff you grab from the ground in one of the backpacks. So the other Backpack is for putting all your weapons into. (A bin may also do the work.)

Quivers also work for all weapons (not at the same time, of course).
