## Weapon Swap Mode
| ***Commonly featured under*** ***Settings in Shooter**-**style GAMEPACKs**,* "**Weapon Swap Mode**" covers managing Weapon M.O.D.s (Macros On Demand) through **8** Weapon Slots, and swapping between slots during gameplay. | |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
Weapon Swap Mode determines the arrangement of the 8 Weapon Slots on the Dashboard. Each slot can be fully customized to meet your needs, but only one slot can be **ACTIVE** at a time. It is important to be aware of this to avoid unintentionally applying the wrong M.O.D.s to the wrong weapon. Fortunately, RGB LED indication on the STRIKEPACK™, and indication in the app will help you to keep track of the current position and exactly what is being applied.

### Options
Instructions
Image
Tap the GEAR icon at the top-right of the Dashboard to go to the "Settings" area, then find the "Weapon Swap Mode" setting.
There are ***usually*** **4** options to select from; **Automatic**, **Manual**, **Direct**, and **Hybrid**. If any of these options are deemed unsuitable for a specific game, its GAMEPACK may feature fewer options, or even **NO** Weapon Swap Mode setting.

| ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
"**Automatic**" & "**Hybrid**" Swap are designed for games employing the standard two-weapon system, consisting of / . Either option will track your Switch Weapon button (default:) presses, enabling synchronization with in-game weapon switching:

You have probably already noticed the LED swap between  / .
{% endhint %}
Frequently, it is necessary to resynchronize this feature with your game:

Switch to your in-game Primary Weapon, ⚠️DO NOT hold left trigger⚠️, then while HOLDINGACTIVATOR,TAP to sync...
Automatic has four selectable tracking Loadouts, whereas Hybrid has one tracking Loadout and six spare slots. "**Manual**" Swap is structurally identical to Automatic, but without the Switch Weapon button tracking. "**Direct**" Swap supports almost every shooter, with eight numbered Weapon Slots for you to **manually** swap between, and assign as you see fit.
{% hint style="info" %}
We know it is a lot to take in. Automatic is the default option for most GAMEPACKs and if you are comfortable with it "as is", you can skip to [**Weapon Setup**](#weapon-setup-next).
{% endhint %}
***
### Extended Options
Certain GAMEPACKs such as **Shooter GAMEPACK**, have options that are designed for games that switch between a larger number of weapons.
***
"**Cycle**" Swap is designed for games that enable you to carry & cycle through multiple weapons, often through a weapon bar that expands as you pick up more weapons. It is adjustable up to **8** Cycle Slots, and supports Switch Weapon button layouts such as Switch (default:), Bumpers, Triggers (Flipped), and D-Pad cycling.
{% hint style="info" %}
This type of inventory layout has been spotted in some Battle Royale games :wink:...
{% endhint %}
***
"**Select**" Swap is designed for games that assign weapons to the D-Pad .
***
"**Third**" Swap is designed for games where holding your Switch Weapon button (default:) will switch to your Third Weapon. It assumes that switching back will always switch to your Primary Weapon.
{% hint style="info" %}
This type of weapon system has been spotted in some Looter Shooter games :wink:...
{% endhint %}

See the links below for a full breakdown of each option, then after making your selection, tap the back-arrow at the top-left to return to the Dashboard and observe the Weapon Slot layout.
