Revision 5

Hide Back Weapons is a Crimson Desert display feature that conceals weapons attached to the character's back outside of combat. A first pass shipped with Patch 1.03.00 on April 9, 2026 as part of the new Weapon Display system. Broader control over mounted-weapon visuals is part of the Developer Roadmap: April to June 2026.

How to Use It

The setting lives at Others > Settings > Languages and Gameplay under the Display Melee Weapons and Display Ranged Weapons options.

Setting Display Melee Weapons to Selected Only and Display Ranged Weapons to Only When Used produces a clean silhouette in which most back-mounted gear disappears until the weapon is drawn.

How to Reach the Setting

• Console (PS5 / Xbox): hold Options or the equivalent menu button, choose Others, then Settings, then the Languages and Gameplay tab.

• PC: press ESC to open the main menu, choose Others, then Settings, then the Languages and Gameplay tab.

Why it Matters

• Players who collect multiple weapon types can build a show set without the character becoming visually cluttered.

• Photo mode and cinematic scenes look less busy when only the active weapon is on display.

• Some armor and cosmetic sets were designed around a clean back; the new setting makes those sets viable without giving up utility.

• The setting is purely cosmetic and has no effect on damage, defense, or any gameplay stat.

Roadmap Notes

The Developer Roadmap: April to June 2026 lists additional work on weapon display and similar cosmetic options throughout the April-June 2026 window, alongside more New Outfits (Roadmap) and cosmetic customization.
