## Overview
This section covers "**Direct**" Swap, featured in our **Rust** GAMEPACK for the **STRIKEPACK HORIZON**™ controller adapter & powered by the **STRIKEPACK CENTRAL**™ smartphone app.
{% hint style="danger" %}
Before continuing, please ensure that you have completed [**GAMEPACK Setup**](/horizon/manuals/rust/gamepacksetup.md) & matched your in-game settings!
{% endhint %}
"**Direct**" Swap covers managing Weapon M.O.D.s (Macros On Demand) through **8** Weapon Slots & swapping between slots during gameplay.
***
To fully take advantage of the powerful customization on offer, such as per Weapon Slot Fire Modes, Optimized Anti-Recoil, & Quick Edit Adjustments, you will **definitely** need to be aware of which Weapon Slot is **ACTIVE** within the moment to avoid unintentionally applying the wrong M.O.D.s to the wrong weapon.
***
Fortunately, in addition to RGB LED indication on the STRIKEPACK™ itself, the app provides clear indication of the GAMEPACK's current position & exactly what is being applied.
## Direct Swap
"**Direct**" Swap utilizes manual swapping with all 8 numbered Weapon Slots displayed on the Dashboard at once.
* Assign slots to your **favourite** weapons as you see fit.
* You will have to directly manage all swapping yourself via the app or **Controller Shortcuts**. This works out best if you seek out **specific** weapons during gameplay, & **rarely** ever switch your weapon during combat.

| While ***ACTIVATOR*** is ***HELD***, :warning: **DO NOT** hold left trigger :warning:, then your controller's ***FACE*** buttons can be ***TAPPED*** to swap between the following slots: |

|
Weapon 1
Weapon 2
Weapon 3
Weapon 4

| See the other tab for Weapon Slots **5**-**8**. On the **Dashboard**, you can cycle through **Active Weapon**, or tap a slot **once** to swap to it. Repeated taps will cycle the slot between its currently assigned Fire Mode, Regular Fire, & Rapid Fire. |
| Check which slot is **ACTIVE** via the Dashboard highlight, or RGB LED. |
| :warning: If ***ACTIVATOR*** is ***RELEASED QUICKLY*** or ***HELD LONG**,* it will pass through to your game*.* Use the **Controller Shortcut** before an in-game menu pops up. |
