Weapons Improvements

• You can now equip 2 weapons at once, this will allow you to adapt depending of the situation. For example if you cannot get close to an enemy, switch for a ranged weapon to keep attacking!
  
  
  This also changes a lot of things for Weapon Passives as you can have both passives at once but you need the right weapon to use them. For example if you get stacks for your weapon when killing enemies, you can kill them with your other weapon and still get the stacks but you will need to switch to the right weapon to consume them!
  
  
  
  
• The weapons are also always visible now, it was a lot of work to do as all animations are done frame by frame but this gives more personality to weapons and allows you to better understand which weapon you have now that you can have 2 at once.
