Trust me: you want to know how to holster your weapons in Cyberpunk 2077. Turns out, folks aren't particularly if you stroll the streets of Night City with your killing tool of choice on display.

We've got more details on how to put your weapon away in Cyberpunk 2077 below.

You can avoid that by putting your gun away and holstering it with a double tap of the button you use to cycle between weapons - so Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox and left alt on PC.

Just make sure it's a proper double tap or you'll just start cycling weapons if you're too slow.

It's a simple thing but, as we mentioned, it's easy to miss. I spent an embarrassing amount of time using the radial wheel to put away weapons, knowing it wasn't right but unable to remember what the other options mentioned were. I didn't then find out how to actually do it until I finally got the Cyberpunk 2077 Mantis Blades and got an extra little mini tutorial explaining how to put those away.
