At the start of your journey in The Outer Worlds 2, you can only carry two weapons at a time. You can switch between these two weapons in an instant. These two weapons can be of any type and of your choice. However, there are times when you want to change any one of these for other weapons. To do this, you need to access the Inventory and make a manual adjustment. This can feel a bit inconvenient during fights, when you need to switch quickly. Luckily, there is a way to unlock additional weapon equipment slots, allowing you to swap between several weapons instantly. In this The Outer Worlds 2 Weapon Slots Guide, we will see how we can unlock additional weapon slots and equip more weapons at the same time.
Weapon Slots Guide – The Outer Worlds 2
There are two ways to increase your weapon slots: by using armor mods or by unlocking a Commando perk.
Use the Extra Holster Armor Mod
As the name suggests, this mod lets you carry one extra weapon, giving you more flexibility in battle.
You can get the Extra Holster mod in a few different ways:
- Buy it: You can purchase it from a vendor in Paradise.
- Steal it: If you do not want to buy it or have no money, you can head into the room on the vendor’s right, close the door, and steal the mod from the bottom shelf inside.
- Craft it: If you can’t find it, you can make it yourself. Crafting the Extra Holster mod requires 25 Cloth and can be done at any workbench, or by using your companion Nile’s Field Tinkering ability.
Once you have the mod, here’s how you can use it:
- Go to a Workbench.
- Choose the Mods option.
- Select the armor piece you want to apply the mod to.
- Pick the Extra Holster mod from the right-hand menu and equip it.
One disadvantage of armor mods is that once you equip them with any gear, you can not remove the gear without losing the armor mod. Once you remove the gear, you will also lose an extra slot.
Unlock the Commando Perk
There is another, but faster method to gain an extra weapon slot. You can do it by unlocking the Commando perk. It permanently gives you one extra weapon slot, letting you always carry an additional weapon.
To unlock it, you only need to invest one stat point into either the Melee or Guns skill. Once you do that, the perk becomes available.
The Outer Worlds 2 allows you to unlock two extra weapon slots in total, meaning you can eventually carry four weapons at once. To do that, you will need to combine both methods: the Commando perk and Extra Holster mods to your armor.
