So I've got my hotkeys set up so that 1 and 2 are both axes, (Not the same one) I want to dual wield them, but when I press 1 and 2 they both appear in the same hand, and not one in the left hand and one in the right hand. What am I doing wrong?

Open your inventory, find the first weapon. Depending on your platform you should get a tooltip/instruction in the bottom left saying which buttons/keys to press to equip the weapons.

PC default is left mouse button for the right hand.

Then find the second weapon in the inventory. PC default is right mouse button to equip in the left hand.

Shields can only be equipped in the left hand.

Hello, yes I know how to equip the weapons, thank you. But I need to know how to set it so that when I keybind each axe to a key, I don't just end up with one weapon sheathed and one weapon in my main hand.

Bump?
