The Duct Tape Holster is a rough handgun holster made by wrapping Duct Tape around a pistol. It is worn in the Belt Extra slot. It gives a quick way to carry a sidearm on the hip.
Its main strength is how cheap and easy it is to make. Three rolls of Duct Tape and a handgun are all it takes. Its job is the extra hotbar slot it adds, so a pistol can be drawn without opening the bag.
The holster can be crafted with Tailoring at level 1. Survivor safehouses also hold one now and then. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The holster sits in the Belt Extra slot and adds one hotbar slot, Holster Right. That slot takes items made to fit a holster or a small holster, which covers handguns. A pistol in the slot can be drawn straight into the hand.
The holster weighs very little. It changes nothing about warmth, speed or comfort. It is a carrying aid rather than clothing.
Tailoring
Researching the holster with Research Craft teaches the Sew Holster recipe. That recipe leads to a proper sewn holster.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Duct Tape Holster and teaches the recipes below.
