How do you switch the hand your weapon is in?

Before you'd press B and the weapon would switch hands now all that does is set you on fire

I think the switching of hands is automated now, so no button press is necessary. If you want to change the handedness of a character you can do that in its properties.

Organising your sheathed weapons when you had for example two knives and a sword was much easier with B switching hands. By deciding which weapon you put in the right and left holster you easily could make sure to get out the right one when it counts.

It's a tiny thing that doesn't play into the gameplay in most levels, but when you do get a bunch of stuff, it can make life a bit more convenient. And just feels nice for some reason to play around with the weapon by juggling it from hand to hand. AND it feels nice to deliberately hold a weapon in the off hand to knock someone out instead of killing them.
Bit of a reaching point; deliberately using a weapon in the off hand could be used to change to a blunt damage move set for bladed weapons, for when you want to go for no kill run.

Good food for thought. Thanks!
