Use Holster Mode for Speed and Survival
When to Holster Your Weapons
Holster Mode (activated by pressing H) puts your weapons away and increases your movement speed. This is useful for exploration, escaping danger, or traveling between combat zones without slowing down.
Holster Mode Limitations and Benefits
1. Speed boost: You run noticeably faster with weapons holstered, making traversal more efficient.
2. Combat restriction: You cannot attack or hold items in your hands while holstered. You must unholster to fight or interact with your inventory.
3. Escape tool: Use Holster Mode when surrounded by enemies you can't defeat—sprint away to safety, then unholster when you've created distance.
4. Travel mode: Activate it during long journeys to reach destinations faster.
5. Tactical repositioning: Holster mid-fight to escape a bad engagement, reposition, and unholster when ready to re-engage.
Quick Toggle
Remember that pressing H again will unholster your weapons instantly. Plan your positioning carefully before unholstering, since you'll be vulnerable during the transition back to combat readiness.
