# WeaponHolsterOverhaul

A simple mod that makes your character look cooler and more badass and lets you auto equip shield.

## Installation (manual)

  • extract WeaponHolsterOverhaul.dll file to your BepInEx\Plugins\ folder

## Features

  • Instead of unequipping a weapon when you equip another weapon, it will just stay on your back or waist while another weapon is currently equipped giving you a more warrior like viking vibe.
  • You can switch between weapons on back/waist and currently equipped by pressing the hide/show weapon hotkey which is the default vanilla R key.
  • If you equip any one handed weapon except axe (configurable) the shield with the best block power will be auto equip.
  • Lets you swap/equip/unequip weapons while moving.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
