Crimson Desert finally added a highly requested feature in Patch 1.03.00. You can now hide weapons and shields that appear on your character’s back. This update improves visual customization and lets your armor design stand out without bulky gear blocking it.
Earlier, players had no option to remove back equipment without mods. Now, everything works directly through in-game settings.
How to Hide Weapons and Shields in Crimson Desert
The process is simple and takes less than a minute. Follow these steps carefully:
Step-by-Step Guide

Does Hiding Weapons Affect Gameplay?
No, hiding weapons does not affect your performance.
- You still keep all stats and buffs
- Equipment remains fully active
- Combat works exactly the same
This feature is purely visual. It improves immersion without changing mechanics.
Known Limitations
While the feature works well, there are a few minor issues:
- Some weapons may still clip through cloaks while running
- Full invisibility requires careful setting combinations
- Certain gear setups may still show partial elements
These are visual issues only and do not affect gameplay.
As future updates arrive, expect even more customization options. For now, this feature already solves one of the biggest visual complaints in the game. Play Now!
