The Outer World: can you protect your gun?

Are you endlessly wandering the beautiful surroundings of The Outer Worlds, Wondering when is the right time to save up and move on another day? That's the secret to Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG title. There is too much fun in finding the perfect time to put it down. Getting sucked into The Outer Worlds is easy. Because it's an RPG title, players run around towns and talk to NPCs. During this time, the player characters are holding their weapons. Is it possible to holster them?

Can you put holster weapons in the outer worlds?

There is no prompt to tell players that they have a choice to put their weapon away. Someone could go through the whole game and still pull out their gun, ready for the next fight, and hit him from the opposite angle. For those who are immersing themselves in their RPG games, it's a bit tedious and it breaks that level of fun. Fortunately, there is a way to do it. You can store your weapon in the game.

To do this, simply hold down the reload button for a few seconds. If your gun needs ammo, it will immediately put more bullets in it. After that, hold it again, and you should find that your weapon is hidden away from view. The small dot in the middle of the screen always indicates your character's goal. But you lose the threat of having the weapon and wielding any NPCs you come across.

It's a simple little thing. Not all characters like to see the weapon everywhere they go. It doesn't make sense that their character has the weapon ready to settle in the middle of a peaceful town, unless they're already ready to stir up trouble. For most players, this is not the case.

Now you know how to put your gun away in the game and you can roam the cities in The Outer Worlds freely without getting weird looks. For players who are genuinely getting into the role-playing title, it only makes sense to have a weapon when they explore or engage in combat. Otherwise, it feels weird.
