Empty Weapons is a compact gameplay mod that makes handgun slides stay locked back when the magazine is empty.

Last updated in 2019, it may not be compatible with newer game versions.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 505 endorsements and 12k downloads — clearly fills a niche.
- Tiny mod that does exactly one thing: no feature creep, just the slide lock.
- Great for immersion — you'll always know when you're dry without checking ammo count.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — likely broken with current game patches, so check before installing.
- Author account deleted — no support or future updates coming.
- Only affects handguns; if you want this for rifles or SMGs, you're out of luck.
For immersion-focused players who want that extra bit of realism in gunplay. Also great for anyone who likes visual feedback over UI numbers. Skip if you're on the latest game version or want broader weapon coverage.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2019, test it on a save you don't care about first to avoid crashes.
- If you use a mod manager, install manually to a temp folder and copy files over to see what you're dealing with.
- Check the mod's comments section on Nexus for user reports about compatibility with your game version.
