Can I swap weapons mid-run?

May be outdated. Players reported it, or a patch since Beta 1 (wipe 1) touched it. An editor will re-check it.

Only at refit terminals inside the breach, and you can be attacked while there.

Find a refit terminal. Only some breach maps have them.
Tether to it with the harpoon and wait out the hack, which takes 8 seconds. Once authorised, tethering again skips the hack.
Swap modules. Only idle ones can be removed: no target, not cycling, cooling down or reloading.

Good to know

Attacking another player breaks your tether and locks you out of the terminal for 30 seconds.
You also can't refit while one of your modules is active on another ship, or theirs on you.

Tip

The terminal also repairs, paid in ORE from your ship's cargo: 5 per 100 armor, 10 per 100 hull.
