Mounts & Sights

Description
This mod introduces new weapon mounts and sights that are seamlessly compatible with the vanilla ones. The implementation aims to stay true to the original game experience and design, making it suitable for most servers.

    Hint: it's possible to configure weapons to spawn with mounts already attached.

Features

Mounts
  • Universal Pistol Mount: allows the attachment of a flashlight along with various short-range sighting devices to pistols with a flashlight rail.
  • MRDS Mount: allows to attach the vanilla pistol red dot to any weapon with a rail.
  • Kochetov Mount (a.k.a. Mosin Mount): allows the use of western scopes on weapons with the Kochetov rail system, e.g., Mosins and SKSs.
  • Warsaw Mount (a.k.a. AK Mount): allows the use of western scopes on AK variants and other soviet era weapons. It also accepts a pistol flashlight on the side rail so weapons like the "Vaiga" or the "Vikhr" can be used to battle in low light environments.
  • CR, Blaze and Tundra mounts: allows the use of western scopes on the vanilla bolt and break action rifles.

Sights
  • G43 Magnifier: it gives 3x magnification for unmagnified sights, e.g., magnifier + vanilla red dot. The magnification can be switched on and off without leaving the ADS position using the zoom in/out bindings (default is mouse wheel), providing a smooth experience.
  • Mark 3HD: same zoom levels and reticle as the trusty vanilla Hunting Scope, but with a rail base compatible with weapons and mounts that feature a rail (e.g., VS89, Mosin Mount, etc.).
  • SpecterDR 1.5-6x: dual purpose scope that allows its user to quickly flip between 1.5x and 6x magnification. It can receive the pistol red dot as an attachment and its reticle can be illuminated.
  • Pilad 4x32: fixed 4x scope with a rail base.
  • OKP-77: eastern compact red dot featuring a wide field of view and two reticle colors.
  • EXPS2: a popular holographic red dot.

Quality of Life
  • Sights are combined with the mounts like any other interaction that involves weapon attachments in the unmodified game.
  • The attachments UI is tweaked to give access to more attachments of attachments slots, making it easier to interact with larger attachment hierarchies.
  • The last used aiming mode (iron sights vs optics) for a given weapon is restored after switching away from it and back. This become a vanilla feature in DayZ 1.27.
  • Small file size, thus fast downloads.

@jacobjames1129, thanks for the kind words!

Since both the original game and the mod already include reflex sights (a.k.a. red dot sights), that category is covered, so adding more of the same isn’t a top priority at the moment. That said, I’ve got ideas for the next CQC sight and other categories, though you’ll have to wait to see what they are. ;)

The updates mainly focus on quality over quantity; the aim is to avoid redundant content or anything that feels out of place with the game’s original time period or theme.

First off want to say thank you for making such a great mod! My only question is will more red dots such as a aimpoint or any other sights be added? tried finding a discord to see if it has your updates but had no luck. Any who thanks for the mod again love it!

@anders120375, sorry, your message is unclear to me. I believe there might be an issue on your end; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many subscribers and servers currently using the mod.

@Tantris, that optic isn't available. For more details, check out the Change Notes in version 0.0.9. I'll update the guide accordingly, thanks for the heads up.

Great mod!
One question - rails not compatible with marksman scope? At guide it listed in class names (like Akol_MosinMount_MK4Optic), but in game not work and not appear in admin panel
Akol  [author] 18 Sep @ 10:42am 
Hey @Cline West, both mods will work fine together, but there aren't any sGunplay config settings tied to the items in this mod. If you want to change the default settings, you'll either need to create a simple config mod or update an existing one to add the customizations you want.
