📋 About This Mod
No AUTO Horse Equip
This mod disables the automatic equipping of weapons when getting off horse before/during a mission where a shootout is about to take place, as in these cases the game forces 2 longarm weapons at you. Personally I find it very annoying, as frequently there is no time to holster them back... so here is a solution! I hope you enjoy!And yes the mod is compatible with No Auto Horse Holstering!
As always if you find any issues, please let me know in the comments and the bugs section!
Installation
Extract the archive and put NoAutoEquip.asi and scripthook rdr2 into the game folder.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community approval (2,216 endorsements) and over 91k downloads—this is a must-have for RDR2 players tired of the auto-equip nonsense.
- Directly fixes an annoying mechanic without altering other gameplay elements.
- Lightweight script mod that won't impact performance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2023—might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so check before installing.
- Only affects the auto-equip on dismount; doesn't address other forced weapon changes.
- Potential conflicts with other script mods that alter weapon behavior or mission logic.
For RDR2 players who hate when the game auto-equips your weapons after dismounting, especially before shootouts. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who wants full control over your loadout, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't mind the auto-equip or rarely do missions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install this mod after any other script mods to avoid overwriting files.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod last to ensure it takes priority.
- Test in a mission with a shootout to confirm the auto-equip is gone.
