Virtual Holsters is back!! The mod has been re-written from the ground up in C++ to fix the limitations of Papryus which was used for pre-3.0 versions of the mod.
Inspired by the excellent VR Custom Quickslots mod by frazaman, Virtual Holsters provides an alternate take on the virtual weapon management mod concept in Fallout 4 VR. Aiming for a more realistic approach, Virtual Holsters now shows visible holstered weapons on the players body, supports end user created weapon sheaths, can handle multiple configurations of the same weapon type and provides the same holstering functionality that we have all come to expect in modern VR games.
Virtual Holsters provides the player with 7 holster interaction zones which can be repositioned / resized in game via the mods brand new 'Configuration Mode'. These interaction zones are placed in the following locations:
- Holster 1: Right Shoulder
- Holster 2: Left Shoulder
- Holster 3: Right Chest
- Holster 4: Left Chest
- Holster 5: Right Hip
- Holster 6: Left Hip (slightly toward the stomach area for easy access)
- Holster 7: Lower Back
Another advantage of Virtual Holsters is its unique weapon storage solution which ensures that the player equips the exact weapon they have stored in a holster everytime they equip from it and not a random weapon from your inventory of the same type. This system ensures that if you store a modified silenced pistol in your left hip holster, this would be the exact weapon you draw when equipping from that holster and not the unmodded pistol you just picked up off a dead raider thus allowing you to implement a more tactical loadout.
- Install the mods requirements & then install this mod
Note: The mod ships with its 'Holster Interaction Button' configured to be the games primary 'Activate' button.
- Remove the mod as normal via your mod manager.
After such a massive overhaul it is very important that you upgrade to the new version correctly in order to avoid weapon loss and also to ensure that the new holsters are configured correctly. Following the below steps will ensure a smooth transition to the latest version of Virtual Holsters:
- Load your game with your current version of the mod installed
- Remove any weapons you have stored in holsters so they are once again shown in your inventory.
- Save your game and exit
- Remove Virtual Holsters via your mod manager
- Reload your game with no version of Virtual Holsters installed
- Reload your save game, create a new save and then exit the game
- Install the new version of Virtual Holsters

- Frazaman: For his excellent port of VRTools + PapyrusVR to Fallout 4 VR. Honestly, another key modding tools we'd be lost without!
