To make your weapons show in Rivals, open the lobby, go to Inventory , open the Weapons tab, pick the weapon skin you want, and choose Equip/Display in lobby so it appears there. A recent guide also says some players may need to go back to the lobby after equipping for it to update correctly.

Quick steps

  1. Enter the lobby.
  2. Open Inventory.
  3. Select the Weapons tab.
  4. Choose your gun skin.
  5. Tap Equip/Display in lobby.
  6. Return to the lobby and check again.

If it still does not show

  • Make sure the weapon is actually equipped, not just owned.
  • Try leaving and rejoining the lobby.
  • If you are on PC, some Rivals weapon actions and loadout changes are handled differently during matches, so checking the lobby first is safest.

Small note

Some posts and videos also mention weapon inspect animations, which are separate from showing the weapon in the lobby, so don’t confuse the two.
