Weapon Swap Mechanics Explained

This build truly shines when using Weapon Swap passives, a powerful feature in Path of Exile 2.

How Weapon Swap Works

You earn Weapon Set Passive Skill Points from Books of Path of Exile 2 Currency Specialisation
You gain 24 total points throughout the campaign
Each weapon set can have a completely different passive layout

To assign them:

1. Open the Passive Skill Tree
2. Look for Weapon Set I and II in the upper-right corner
3. Assign passives independently for each weapon

Optimal Setup

Weapon Set I (Red Nodes): Explosive Shot utility-Evasion, Movement Speed, Deflection
Weapon Set II (Green Nodes): Totem and Grenade damage for Mortar Cannon

Each skill automatically swaps to its assigned weapon set when used.

Best Gear and Itemization

If you're using Weapon Swap, equip two Crossbows. Ideally, they should be similar, but prioritize higher damage on POE 2 Divine Orbs for sale the Mortar Cannon weapon.
