How to Holster Weapons in Starfield

Holstering your weapon is something our dear friend Todd has stopped explaining ever since he enjoyed climbing mountains too much. Who knows, maybe it was a mechanic that was never really explained in the first place.

But you’re here now, and you want to walk around without your guns or hands blocking your view. To rid yourself of this obstruction simply press and hold “R” whenever you have a weapon out.

It’s just like magic! If you’re on the Xbox, hold down “X” instead. If you’re not warming up to this specific keybinding you can always make the changes needed by going to your settings. You’ll see the option to Reload or Sheathe your weapon without even having to scroll down.

There might be some places in Starfield where you won’t be allowed to walk freely with your weapon in hand. But hey, at least now you know how to put it away when you don’t need it! Check out our Cover System guide as well if you don’t like the idea of getting shot at.
