Dual Wielding is a combat system in Remixed Pixel Dungeon that allows players to equip weapons in both the main hand and off-hand (left hand) slots.

The game features a left hand slot (Belongings.Slot.LEFT_HAND) that allows players to equip a second weapon for dual wielding, though it's not specifically labeled as “dual wielding” in the game code.

• Slots: Uses both the main weapon slot and the left hand slot
• Combat: Each equipped weapon can be used in combat, but the game doesn't have a special dual wielding attack system
• Weapon Requirements: Generally works with weapons that can be equipped in the left hand slot
• Strategy: Increases offensive potential but reduces defensive options

To use both weapon slots:

• Weapons that can be equipped in the left hand slot (not all weapons can be)
• Free left hand slot (cannot dual wield if using a shield or two-handed weapon in main hand)
• Sufficient strength to wield both weapons effectively

Using both weapon slots changes the combat approach:

• Offense: Higher potential damage output by having more weapons available
• Defense: Reduced defensive capabilities compared to using a shield
• Versatility: Ability to switch between different weapon types quickly
• Tactics: Allows carrying multiple weapon types for different situations

Not all weapons can be equipped in the left hand slot:

• Many one-handed weapons can be equipped in the left hand slot
• Two-handed weapons like War Hammer, Quarterstaff, Long Sword, Battle Axe, Polearm, and Claymore cannot be used together with another weapon in the left hand
• Bows (KindOfBow) are designed to use the left hand slot
• Wands also use the left hand slot
• The left hand slot is a general secondary equipment slot, not specifically for dual wielding
