[[OpenXcom]] Extended (OXCE) allows to manually set or toggle the preferred hand by right-click on the hand item slot. The preferred hand is marked with yellow dot. This preference persists (e.g. if you remove a pistol to use a two-handed item, then equip it again), but matters only if some weapon that can be used for reaction (melee when in reach, gun that is not out of ammunition) is in this hand.

=Reaction Fire Weapon Preference=

If a soldier is carrying a weapon in each hand, the soldier will react with the active weapon. If the active weapon runs out of ammunition, the soldier will move on to the other weapon, assuming it contains ammunition as well.

The active weapon will be the weapon that is currently visible on your soldier's sprite, or the last weapon you fired with.

To set your active weapon, you only have to fire the weapon, or open the weapon's fire mode menu and cancel the attack.
