To do so, simply press the Y button while you’re in the game’s menu to hot-key it. Not only will this wee shortcut save you a ton of time, but you’ll likely use more of your weapons by virtue of how easy it is to swap to-and-fro between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game may not tell you how to do this, but trust us: it’s a bit of a game-changer once you’ve got your favorite weapons hot-keyed to the D-pad as your preferred guns are merely a button press away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
