Being Visibly Armed,Holsters and Trunks
Too many open world games have the character pulling weapons out of their ass.
DE:HR,Skyrim,GTA,Mafia II a lot of others. I'm not saying that every protagonist should have every weapon in their inventory visible on their character otherwise they'd look like this.
but everything that we will use in combat should be visible on the player character.
Max Payne 3 did this well with Max holding stuff that he didn't have a holster for then dropping it if he wanted to dual wield his pistols. Assassins Creed is also a good example of how every weapon being used is visualy on the character. A bad example would be Fallout NV where you use 5 weapons for the same battle and they all come out of nowhere.
If you don't like not carrying only one weapon you can always buy a sling or maybe the weapon already has one. The cool thing I noticed when I first saw a screen of Witcher 2 was that Geralt had a scabbard I just found it so cool because not a lot of games do that. I think the same can be said for slings on assault rifles and shotguns.
Obviously you can't carry Assault Rifles and Shotguns while walking around Night City that would unnerve some people so we should have the option of putting our weapons in the trunk.
The picture above is from a vendor in GTAIV which you could call up and he'd drive over to sell you weapons which is real cool.
