Equip a Weapon in Only Your Offhand in Baldurs Gate 3 (Make Op Tavern Brawler Monk)

Greetings, in this Baldurs Gate 3 tutorial we shall be looking at how to wield a weapon in only your offhand. This can be great if you want to use unarmed strikes while holding the club of hill giant strength in your offhand so you can get the tavern brawler damage bonus.

This tutorial will show you that equipping weapons as off hand only is possible in Baldur's Gate 3. This will allow you to use unarmed attacks with a weapon equipped in your offhand.

Getting a weapon in your offhand while having no weapon equiped in your main hand in Baldur's Gate 3 is simple.

Equip any old weapon in your hand and have the club of hill giant strength (or whatever offhand weapon you want) equipped in your offhand.

Then go to a companion, give them a main weapon and a shield in their offhand. Click on your compainion's main weapon and via the menu that pops up, select the main hand weapon your character has. This will give that weapon to your companion and remove it from your main hand! The great part is, your offhand weapon remains in your offhand. So now you can do unarmed strikes while still having the club of hill giant strength equipped.

You will notice that your character is now wielding the weapon in their off-hand, leaving the main-hand slot empty. This setup allows monks to punch without any restrictions, enabling you to add extra weapon passives to your build for additional bonuses and optimization.

This tutorial is mostly aimed at helping make the monk class OP in Baldur's Gate 3.

You can still wield a weapon in only your offhand in patch 7.
