I plan to multiclass from Wizard to Artificer at some point in a campaign, but simple weapon proficiency is not obtained.
To use Lightning Launcher proficiently do I need Simple weapon Proficiency? DDB character sheet still counts the attack of the LL with proficiency, but DDB is not that accurate in a few things, Artificer being one of them.
Yeah, you'd need Simple Weapon proficiency. Due to system limitations the LL is implemented as an Action, not a Weapon, so they're just going off the assumption that an Artificer would have the proficiency. You can customize the Lightning Launcher action(s) to give a minus-proficiency To Hit Bonus.

That’s RAW, but it’s pretty weird that a multiclassing Wizard would learn to use a shield but not learn to use a lightning launcher and thunder gauntlets they create. Might be worth talking to your DM about that, especially if you are willing to give up learning shield proficiency in return.

Thank you for the quick response.
