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.

Known issue: OKP-77 hiding overlays (e.g. gas mask, NVGs, etc) while aiming down sights.

@Aelieus, I couldn't reproduce the issue, and the UPM has been out for 6 months without any complaints. It seems like the issue might be specific to your setup. Also, it’s possible that the issue only occurs under very specific conditions. If that’s the case, please help me by providing more details about it.

CZ75 with the universal pistol mount crashes my server.

The mod has just been updated. Make sure to update your local mods. Using the official launcher is recommended (Mods > Right-click > Repair). Also, remind the server owners to update the mod if they haven't already.

@Cpt. Sauna, I'm aware. That fix is shipping alongside with the fix to the previous report.

the new eotech optic shows the reticle even when no battery is being used. there is no difference between wether a battery is attached or not

@Cpt. Sauna, thank you for your report, I'll be addressing the issue soon. If there are further topics to discuss, you will know where to find me.

Great mod! Is Workshop Discussion only place for bug reports?

@Collier, the Mark 3HD is still available just as before the 1.28 update.

Will the Mark 3HD continue to function as normal as a replacement? I believe the server I play on doesn't spawn the Mark 3HD since the Marksman Scope released
