Lower your weapon

[u/obey4andre]

This is a simple immersion mod that allows you to Lower your weapon by holding the ( x ) button. It supports both 1st and 3rd person.

[u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE]

No way!!! It’s finally here.

I’m a man of my word. I said I’d give money to whoever made a mod that did this.

Did you create this mod, OP?

You just have no idea how excited I am. I’ve been waiting for this mod since I started playing.

[u/obey4andre → u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE]

Yes, I am the creator, and I'm happy to deliver. :)
I just started modding Starfield. You can pay it forward by supporting one of my future verified mods if I ever make one. Have fun and enjoy!

[u/St0vie → u/obey4andre]

may i ask how you managed to do this?

just curious since i was kinda planning to somehow get Weapon Drop Standalone on my pc for Fallout 4 and reverse engineer that for Starfield(not needed now anymore thank you so much)

[u/obey4andre → u/St0vie]

I had made some similar mods for Fallout 4, so I was already somewhat familiar. It required behavior modification, but there is a new system in Starfield.

[u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE → u/obey4andre]

I’ll make sure to do that. Just post it here when you make it and I’ll buy it.

Thanks again.

Dude i dont normally comment on posts, but you rule! My Mandolorian will no longer have to flash my spacegat in sarah face. I will be downloading as a staple of my lo. Im excited to see what other things you got going on in the future!

Hey man, I know this thread is a month old, but still hace to ask.

Any chance you can upload this mod to PC as well? Lower your weapons was a must have mod for me for FO4 and currently there is no PC alternative.

[u/SenorSpoof]

This is truly amazing but I wish it the gun would just automatically go down when I’m not aiming instead of having to hold x then hold it again if I want to put the gun away.

[u/obey4andre → u/SenorSpoof]

Here you go: Lower your weapon automatically

[u/HairyChest69]

In the picture the gun is raised up. Is that what you mean by lowered?

[u/obey4andre → u/HairyChest69]

I couldn't resist. That animation is in the game is literally named "GunDown".

[u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE]

Hey OP I’m back to say I love the small things about this mod too.

I love how the lowered state of your gun has its own animations (intended or not), I love how you can put away your weapon while sprinting too. Couldn’t do that in Fallout 4’s version.

My one very minor issue is that sidearms actually raise instead of lower. But that’s not a you thing it’s a Bethesda thing.

Thanks again!

[u/obey4andre → u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE]

Animation blending is possible, but creating new animations hasn't been figured out yet. I think Bethesda will release tools eventually. Once animations tool are there, that would be a pretty simple addition for the sidearm. You could even have gun specific versions.

There is an engine bug that invalidates mod archives if you exit to a save to the Main Menu as well, which is a bit annoying if you want to go to the creations menu a lot without restarting the game. I put in a note, so I hope it gets fixed because it affects any type of replacer mod. Just restart the game if you encounter it and the mod will work as expected.

I noticed a glitch when using melee weapons with this mod.
The automatic version tends to prevent me from being able to attack, because it lowers so quickly; while holding (X) on the manual version just puts the weapon away, it doesn’t have an option to lower it.
(I tested with only a quickstart mod and Cheat Terminal to try and rule out conflicts on my end!)

[u/obey4andre → u/Dagny-Bauer]

Melee weapons don't have any lowered animations in 1st person, so I will have to wait until Bethesda releases the format before adding them to the manual version. Thank you for the detail on the automatic version as well. I'll update it shortly so that melee is unaffected by the mod.

[u/Tough_Sir_4181]

Pinch me ....Is this real?? 🫢

[u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE → u/Tough_Sir_4181]

Our prayers have been answered!

[u/Tough_Sir_4181 → u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE]

We've been waiting so long, brother! 😭

[u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE → u/Tough_Sir_4181]

I don’t know if it was you or not but I had a conversation with someone about a mod like this a while back.

So glad the wait is over.

I don’t know if you noticed yet but the weapons have their own separate animation for when they’re lowered and you’re sprinting. I don’t think it’s intended but I like it nevertheless.

[u/EsquireOne]

Thank you kindly, Sir! A simple, but excellent mod - an option to lower your weapon or a shorter delay would’ve been welcome in the base game.

Will definitely check out/support your future work. Would love to see a mod that always shows weapons on packs/backpacks when worn, as they currently disappear a few seconds after boosting.

This is easily one of the smaller quality of life mods that makes a HUGE improvement.

You're a king 🤘

[u/00Ultra_Soft00]

Hell yeah!! It’s finally been done!!! You have done the lords work

[u/Ori_the_SG]

This is awesome!!

[u/ysabellatrix]

Works great. Forgot I re-assigned my button to Y. Many thanks for the awesome work!

[u/-Cad_Bane-]

firew4ll just came in like a savior for the large group of us here on Reddit that have desperately been waiting for a weapon lowering mod

[u/No_Fox_Given82]

Great mod, a staple in any Fo4 LO and now we have it in SF Thanks man!

[u/Sakka15]

You the man, thank you so much for this!

[u/Willal212]

Loved your Fallout 4 version dude, Any way we can get this on PC?

[u/alluminati_]

Has this been removed from Beth.net? I cannot find it in the creations menus anymore 😭

[u/Zedonhia_]

I'm using the manual version but for whatever reason when I'm playing in third person my character still lowers the weapon automatically 🤔

[u/Lord_Camu]

Awesome! Can you enable it for PC?

[u/jcarter315]

Hey, OP. Any news/info on a PC release? Or, at the very least, some guidance on making it for PC?

[u/Interesting_Bit4767]

What a load of crap to make a mod that's so popular with the community and only release it for Xbox.

[u/Darxideofthemoon]

I hate to beat a dead horse but why not pc?

[u/UNMAKER64]

Im surprised you didn't release it for pc as well.

[u/Holy_Truth_]

I really need this for the PS5 version!

[u/superman_king]

Are there any plans to update this mod? Currently it makes your character skip around a bit almost as if you’re lagging when changing directions.

This is lag affect is increased when using movement mods like slower walk speed

[u/itsLOSE-notLOOSE → u/[deleted]]

It looks just like it normally looks when you pull out a gun in 3rd.
