How to use Deadlock Weapon items?

Most of the Weapon items in Deadlock do not require any key bind. Once purchased, they automatically apply the Weapon damage increase and a few other stats that are specific to that item. Additionally, a few items offer passive stat boosts and other effects.

There are, however, some items with the ‘Active’ tag that require you to set a key bind and manually activate them.
