How to Sheathe Weapons in Crimson Desert (Unarmed)

Players have an option to sheathe their weapons and become unarmed in Crimson Desert to avoid scaring off friendly NPCs. Running around with your sword in hand can have repercussions. At best, NPCs offering quests may refuse to talk to you; at worst, you'll accidentally put a bounty on Kliff's head and force the guards to attack you. Some activities, like mini-games in Crimson Desert, also require you to become unarmed before starting them, so here's how you can do it.

How to Put Away (Sheathe) Weapons in Crimson Desert

Crimson Desert reveals the Performance, Balance, and Quality settings that PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X/S console players can select from.

While visiting Hernand City or any other friendly settlement in Crimson Desert, you may have noticed that NPCs, especially the guards, observe you closely if you have your weapon or even a bow equipped.

While simply having your weapons out won't trigger anything in the game, you're an accidental click away from trouble. Swinging your weapon at an NPC or environmental object will cause a huge red circle to appear around your location. This red circle indicates the search area for Kliff, as there will be a bounty placed on his head, which will increase in value if you do further damage to an NPC or environment.

To avoid this from happening, here's how players can sheathe or put away their weapons in Crimson Desert.

Platform	Button Prompt
PC (Keyboard)	Press the "T" Key.
Controllers	Press the "D-Pad Left" Button.
