🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This cosmetic mod replaces the Bear Claw and Raven Claw talismans in Red Dead Redemption 2 with the RDR1 Rifle Holster, giving your character a classic western look. It's a simple visual swap for players who want to ditch the animal claws for something more authentic to the original game.

✨ Key Features

Replaces the Bear Claw talisman with the RDR1 Rifle Holster for coats.
Replaces the Raven Claw talisman with the RDR1 Rifle Holster for vests or shirts.
Cosmetic only, no gameplay changes.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Simple and effective visual swap—if you're tired of the claw talismans, this gives you a clean rifle holster instead.
  • Works for both coat and vest slots, so you can use it with most outfits.
  • Decent community support with 79 endorsements and over 9k downloads.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects two talismans—if you want more holster options or different styles, this won't cover it.
  • Cosmetic only, so if you're looking for gameplay changes, this isn't for you.
  • Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter the same talisman models.
🎯 Is This For You?
For RDR2 players who want a more classic western look and prefer the rifle holster over the default claw talismans. It's perfect for roleplayers or anyone doing a John Marston-style playthrough. Skip if you're not interested in cosmetic changes or if you use mods that already replace those talismans.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to place the files in the correct game directory (usually lml or mods folder) to avoid conflicts.
  • If you're using a mod manager, preview the holster in-game to see how it looks with your current outfit before committing.
  • This mod replaces both talismans, so if you want to keep one of them, you'll need to edit the files or use a different mod.
