The Red Dot Sight is an optic that fits onto a pistol or a rifle. It increases the firearm's aiming speed, so the gun is ready to fire sooner. It weighs 0.4, and fitting it adds that weight to the gun.

The sight suits a gun used at close or middle range, where a quick aim matters most. A screwdriver fits it onto any compatible firearm. It is found almost only in gun caches. The Police Officer is the best occupation for weapon parts. It starts with the most Aiming skill. The Veteran also starts with some Aiming skill.

Uses


Once fitted, the Red Dot Sight speeds up aiming with the firearm. The part fits the B-F Pistol, the M1911 Pistol and the M9 Pistol. It also fits the M16 Assault Rifle, the M1A Rifle, the MSR7T Tactical Rifle and the Trapper Carbine. To fit it, choose Upgrade from the menu of the weapon or the sight. A screwdriver is needed for the job.

Locations


The Red Dot Sight is an uncommon find tied to gun stashes. Gun caches give the best odds, most often on the counter. The gun box, duffel bags and the plank stash in a gun cache hold one at a lower rate. Rifle cases found inside bags hold one only rarely.

Notes


  • The same Red Dot Sight fits pistols and rifles alike, so one part serves any gun on the list.
  • Gun caches are the place to search, most of all their counters.
  • Keep a screwdriver in the bag, since the part goes on only with one.
