This is straight from the Original mod page Fallout 4 Wheel Menu by devpieron:
Q: I want to switch the weapons from the menu! A: Weapons are not displayed by default in the menu for all presets (except vanilla) due to various problems and technical limitations. However you can enable basic support, add to Interface/WHEEL_MENU/conf.xml: <menu icon="w_rifle" name="Weapons" type="right"> <pattern kind="category" value="RangedWeapons" /> <pattern kind="category" value="MeleeWeapons" /> </menu>
If you enable them, you'll encounter following problems with weapons: 1) Only basic weapon names will be displayed, ignoring sorting name (and icon) and without taking account the installed weapon mods 2) If you have 2 or more instances of the same weapon, but with different installed weapon mods, they'll be still displayed as one weapon entry in the menu 2.1) Equipping such weapon will equip randomly weapon from the available weapon instances.
My own advise is to use your favorite bar to switch weapons!
As others have said, I REALLY wish this had a menu for weapons! The best part of a menu wheel is its ability to provide inventory access without breaking flow of gameplay. Never is this more needed then in the middle of combat.
Are you not supposed to be able to hot swap weapons with the wheel ui in Horizon? My only options are the 2 different field kits. I can swap throwables, have chems, food, drinks, but can't swap melee or ranged weapons.

I advise that you use the stndard favorite bar to switch your weapons
My mod overwrites this loose file.
no adjustments needed
don't forget to bind a key in the mcm menu to activate the wheel menu
