Weapon Trickery is novel in thought, but actually quite stressful due to the time limit. It would do you well to learn which order your weapons get switched in, as planning is paramount. You need to rack kills as quickly as you can, so if there is a tough beast, wait until you get a powerful weapon. If there is a crowd of Marionettes, then wait till you get a crowd-control weapon.
