Crimson Desert How to Sheathe Weapon Guide
Running around with your weapon out nonstop gets old fast, especially when you are just trying to loot or talk to NPCs. The game does not clearly tell you how to put it away, so it feels like you are stuck in combat mode forever until you figure it out.
How To Sheathe Weapons In Crimson Desert
Press left on the D pad on controller, or press T on PC to sheathe your weapon.
That instantly puts your weapon away and lets you move around normally again.
Controller And PC (Keyboard) Sheathe Controls Explained
On controller, it is simple once you know it.
Tap left on the D pad to put your weapon away
Tap it again to draw your weapon back out
On PC, the default keybind is just as easy.
Press T to sheathe your weapon
Press T again to pull it back out
You might also notice that tools behave a bit differently. For example, some tools can be put away using a different key like Q, so if something feels off, you may not actually be holding a weapon.
Why Sheathing Your Sword Sometimes Does Not Work
If you are pressing the button and nothing happens, there is usually a reason.
You are mid animation or attacking
You are still considered in combat
Steam Input or controller settings are overriding inputs
Give it a second after combat ends, then try again. The game can be a little stubborn with inputs.
Shield And Weapon Visibility Explained
A lot of players also notice the shield sticking on your back.
You cannot fully remove it through a setting. It stays equipped visually unless your weapon setup changes.
Using dual weapons can remove the shield visually
Standard sword and shield keeps it on your back
So if you are trying to clean up your character look, it comes down to your loadout.
Final Blurb
Sheathing your weapon in Crimson Desert is quick once you know the button, but the game never really explains it. One tap and you go from combat ready to actually able to interact with the world without looking like you are about to start a fight with a merchant.
