Secondary Weapons in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt are Weapons that do not fall under the Swords classification. These include Axes, Maces, Hammers and other miscellaneous objects. While these weapons can prove effective early in the game and may give way to some interesting playstyles, they are quickly outclassed by your main weapons due to various limitations. Secondary Weapons take up the Steel Swords slot when equipped. Unlike Steel Swords, they cannot benefit from Witcher Oils and Runestones, and they have no synergy with your Witcher Skills. Secondary Weapons can be obtained through various means including random drops from defeated opponents, found in treasure chests and purchased from merchants.
