PSA: Holstering your sidearm

Recommended Posts

Most people are aware of how to holster your primary. However, there has been a lot of interest in being able to holster your sidearm or put it in an non-aggressive posture. Turns out you can :D

Holstering a primary:

-Double-tap control (default)

(Your character lowers their primary weapon)

Holstering a secondary:

-Draw secondary

-Double-tap control (default)

-Switch to primary

(Your character draws their primary, draws their secondary, then puts the secondary in a non-aggressive posture)

Drawing your secondary again requires the character to cycle some animations, so it takes much longer to raise a secondary than a primary. Your character might play the draw-rocket-launcher animation, but you don't really have a launcher.

You might also want to remap your holster bindings to something more intuitive than a double-tap. I've got mine to Control + R. While you're at it, go ahead and rebind double-tap W to sprint. You'll thank me later.
