Game is awesome but is there a way to hide the weapon?

[trueplayer]

First of all, I'm having TON of fun with this game, it's a really underrated gem!

I wonder if there is a way to holster your weapon? SW has a great potential for screenarchery - vistas are beautiful but I'd prefer to hide my weapon when I'm taking a screenshot...

Unfortunately, no. The only time the weapon is holstered is when opening doors.

Yes you can! Well, not holster your weapon, but hide it...
CTRL + ~ (opens the console)
r_draw_weapon 0 (hide weapon)
r_draw_weapon 1 (show weapon)
r_draw_hud 0 (hide HUD)
r_draw_hud 1 (show HUD)

You can also use bind to create a macro, I haven't played with that yet, but you can bind the commands to F3 and F4 for example.

Nice and here I've been swapping weapons and just snapping a quick screenshot before he draws the revolver. Thanks for the info.

You can put commands in binds.cfg - which for me is in
My Documents\Shadow Warrior\profiles\4evertoolate

I'll look into it more later, but that file should be safe, I don't think the game will over-write that one.

Great, thank you for the answer!

Binds work flawlessly :) I added the following to my binds.cfg:

bind +page_up "r_draw_weapon 1"
bind +page_down "r_draw_weapon 0"

Totally agree. It's like my 10th weapon is a camera. Maybe some needs to make a mod SW: Beyond Good and Evil.

I added the following to Documents\Shadow Warrior\profiles\0_zero_0\binds.cfg:

bind +f10 "r_draw_weapon 0" 
bind -f10 "r_draw_weapon 1"
bind +f11 "r_draw_hud 0"
bind -f11 "r_draw_hud 1"

In game

1. Hold F10 and F11 to hide the weapon and HUD.
   
2. Press F12 to take a screenshot.
   
3. Release F10 and F11 to unhide.
