When you pick up your first weapon in Starfield, the game doesn’t tell you how to holster it so you don’t accidentally shoot some poor unsuspecting NPC or waste some precious ammo. Sometimes, it’s best to put your gun away so no one can see it, too.

Fortunately, too, holstering your weapon in Bethesda’s massive space RPG is very simple – hidden only behind holding one button down for half a second.

To holster your weapon in Starfield, simply press and hold the reload button. By default, the reload button on the Xbox controller is ‘X’ and on PC using mouse and keyboard is ‘R’.
Just hold the reload button down for half a second or so and you will put your gun away. Press the reload, shoot, or aim button again to quickly bring back up the last weapon you were holding.
Why the game doesn’t tell you how to holster your weapon, we’ll never know, but now you know how to put whatever you’re holding away, at least.
It’s worth noting that the majority of NPCs do not care if they see you holding a weapon. You can happily carry a gun around for as long as you like for the most part.
