Published on October 7, 2021

The time has come for you to play your part in the Yaran revolution! Ubisoft‘s Far Cry 6 is now available, and while it is always fun to shoot soldiers or experience the island life, there are just some instances where you are better off keeping calm than brandishing your weapons. If you have been wondering about how to holster your weapon in Far Cry 6, you are in the right spot.

How To Holster Your Weapon in Far Cry 6

In order to keep your weapons out of sight in Far Cry 6, simply hold down the left bumper (L1 on PlayStation and LB on Xbox) and use your right analog stick to select the holster weapon option on the right.

You might think a guerrilla will be unsafe not holding their weapons, but in Far Cry 6, keeping weapons away is a great way of not drawing attention. Soldiers are less likely to notice you, while double agents can then be approached to buy some information. It is also a great way to close the distance with your target before you start firing!

How to holster weapon Far Cry 6

Putting your gun away in Far Cry 6 has some advantages, sometimes. Here’s how to holster your weapon.

Not having a gun in front of you in a first-person shooter might feel a bit alien, but there’s often a good reason for putting your weapon away in Far Cry 6. It helps you sneak past enemies without being as noticeable, for instance. And occasionally, approaching enemy guards without a weapon will give you the chance to bribe them for information. Run at them with a gun and they’re just going to shoot. But how do you holster your weapon in Far Cry 6?

To holster your weapon, hold your left shoulder button (L1/LB) to bring up the weapon wheel. On the right-hand side, you’ll see an icon of a holster. Select that, and Dani will put away their weapon.

Without a weapon, you have the chance to be more stealthy, though it’s probably not long before you need to arm yourself again. Don’t worry; simply pressing the right trigger (R2/RT) will quickly pull out your weapon again, and you’re ready to fire.

The tip screen came up and implied there is a way to quick holster weapons without the weapon wheel. I must of missed how to do it, anyone else figure it out?

Hold L1, choose the holster on the far right of the wheel

@jeffdmaples You can assign a control to holster under System > Options > Controller (I think) > ON FOOT. Scroll down to underneath pre-assigned controls. I made it double-click R3.

However, I did have an issue with crouching for some reason after assigning quick holster to R3. Pressing circle for crouch would not work unless I un-holstered or holstered a gun. I reverted the changes I made under Controller menu, restarted, and set quick holster back to R3 double press and it seems to be working correctly now.

I meant to say I did double-press L3. R3 I figured would interfere with melee attacks.
And it is under System > Options > Controls > ON FOOT.

I went in and assigned mine to holding the down arrow to holster the gun, but for some reason it keeps randomly unassigning itself. Kind of pissing me off.

There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one for every 12 people on the planet. The only question is: how do we arm the other 11?

How do you carry more weapons in Far Cry 6?

By defeating a set number of these enemies, players will then be able to get access to whatever weapon the chest was protecting. After that, players can open their inventory and go to the Arsenal tab where they will be able to equip the weapons they carry to their various weapon slots.

How do you holster your weapon in Far Cry 3?

You can't. It will automatically lower in safe areas, but thats it. That's why it is a good tip to have one high mobility weapon with you always.

How do I use guns I bought in Far Cry 6?

Weapons you have purchased or located in-game are available in the Arsenal tab of the in-game menu. You can customise your weapons to make use of any weapon skins you unlock.
