What is the antonym of the verb "equip"?

Solution 1:

Video games usually say unequip.

unequip (v) - 1. To remove equipment. 2. (video games) In role-playing video games, to deactivate an item being carried by a player.

Solution 2:

Disarm

verb (used with object)

to deprive of a weapon or weapons.

verb (used without object)

to lay down one's weapons.

Solution 3:

If the weapon currently being equipped is being returned to a holder that the individual is wearing, then depending on the weapon type we have a few choices:

• If it's a firearm you would holster it.
• If it's a blade, then you'd sheathe it.

If you're putting it into a more general storage location, such as a backpack, then you could be said to stow it.

If you're simply dropping it to the ground, well, I'd say drop is as good a word as any.
