Once you have reached level 16 and unlocked Weapon Binding, it can be a little tricky to access. Open the main menu and navigate to the Abilities tab. From there, look at the bottom of the screen and look for the Skill Assignment button, it’s L3 on PlayStation & Xbox. This brings up a box that shows all of your skills.
From there, find the kill you want to change and look for the “Cycle Weapon” option. If that skill allows you to assign a weapon to it, it will cycle through your available weapons. Simply stop on the one you want and that weapon will be used whenever the Barbarian uses that skill in the future.
