📋 About This Mod

Visible Weapons You. Keep your weapons where I can see 'em.

First things first - I want to be upfront on a few things.

This mod won't work alone.

You need weapon models as apparel items for the weapons that you want to see on your back / hip / holster.

Where can you get them?

Just Holstered Weapons by friffy

(for many vanilla weapons!)

Armorsmith Extended Nanosuit Accessories

WOBA - Weapons on Back Addon (for the combat shotgun)

These are a small selection of mods that I've personally used. There may certainly be more that I've missed!

If your mod provides weapon models / holsters as apparel items, let me know - I'm happy to link to them.

Works great with Armorsmith Extended's Sniper Rifle on Back, Katana Belt, and Pistol Harness. Nanosuit Accessories' Pistol Holster is also compatible.

Weaponsmith Extended (coming soon) will soon include wearable weapons for all included mods!

Can also be used with Outfit Switcher to change your loadout when drawing or holstering your weapon.

MOD AUTHORS:

You can now have your weapons visible out-of-the-box without adding any external dependencies. See the Mod Authors' section below.


There hasn't been much incentive before for mod authors to have a weapon model in apparel form, but now that you can actually use them, this might change.

If you have a beautiful custom weapon that you'd like to see on you, make a request to your favorite mod author to include the weapon model as an apparel item!


About

Weapons as apparel on your back and in holsters have been around for a while now. But so far, they've been mostly useful for screenshots because they aren't actually usable! They stay on your back all the time, and nothing kills immersion more than seeing them stay static on your back when you draw that exact weapon. They clutter up your inventory too.

Visible Weapons lets you link up weapon and weapon model. Once linked, they function as one item. When inactive, weapon models won't show in your Apparel inventory.

That's right! Once you equip a linked weapon it shows up on your body!


Usage
