Holster
The Holster is a very rare clothing attachment in DayZ used to carry a pistol on a Plate Carrier, Belt, or Tactical Belt. It has no armor protection, can be repaired with a Leather Sewing Kit, and is different from the standalone Chest Holster.
Quick item summary
Quick answer
The Holster is an attachable pistol storage item for certain vests and belts. It can be combined with the Plate Carrier, Belt, or Tactical Belt to add a dedicated handgun slot without taking normal inventory space. It cannot be attached to the Rope Belt, and it should not be confused with the Chest Holster, which is a separate wearable vest-slot item.
