# Weapon Swapping

The quick weapon switch order is Mega Ball -&gt; Flash Bomb -&gt; Thunder Claw -&gt; Tornado Hold -&gt; Water Balloon -&gt; Flame Sword -&gt; Homing Sniper -&gt; Astro Crush.

Remember you can always press L+R to return to Mega Buster.

Mega Man 8 is unique in that quick weapon switching while a weapon is on screen does not cancel the existing weapon. You can take advantage of this to combine several weapons together and ease platforming.
