How to Holster Weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 – Keep Your Guns Out of Sight

Walking around Night City with a weapon in hand might seem cool, but trust me, it can cause more trouble than you think. NPCs panic, security gets aggressive, and accidental misfires can turn a peaceful moment into chaos. Thankfully, putting away your weapon in Cyberpunk 2077 is quick and easy if you know the right trick.

How to Put Your Gun Away in Cyberpunk 2077

To holster your weapon, simply double-tap the button used to cycle between weapons. Here’s what you need to press on your platform:

  • PlayStation: Triangle
  • Xbox: Y
  • PC: Left Alt

If you’re too slow with the double tap, you’ll start cycling through weapons instead of holstering. Holding the button brings up the weapon wheel, letting you manually select an unarmed state, but the fastest way is always a double tap.

Why Holstering Matters

Keeping your weapon out in public can have real consequences. Pointing a gun at NPCs repeatedly may count as a crime, attracting the attention of law enforcement. In high-security areas, simply having a weapon visible can trigger panic. To avoid unnecessary trouble, holster your gun when you’re not in combat.

It might seem like a minor detail, but many players overlook this mechanic until they receive a tutorial for Cyberware like the Mantis Blades. Now that you know how to do it, you can move through Night City without unnecessary confrontations—until you want one.
