Mod Part Schematic “4x Scope” (internal name modGunScopeMediumSchematic) is a schematic item used to learn the recipe for the “4x Scope” firearm mod part. Reading it lets you craft the corresponding mod part yourself.
What Is It?
The 4x Scope is an optical sight mod part in the medium-magnification range. Attaching it to a gun magnifies your view while aiming, making it easier to target distant enemies. The higher magnification tends to come at the cost of close-range handling, so think of it as an option suited to a more sniper-oriented playstyle.
How to Obtain and Craft It
Schematics are items you’re meant to find from trader stock, various loot, loot boxes, and the like. Once read, the knowledge stays with you permanently, and from then on you can craft the mod part itself at a workbench or similar station whenever you have the materials. In some cases you can also directly loot or purchase the mod part itself without reading the schematic.
When to Use It
This is a great fit for guns you run at medium to long range, such as rifles and marksman rifles. For melee-oriented weapons, a low-magnification sight can sometimes be easier to handle, so it’s best to switch between them according to your gear’s role. Getting hold of one early makes base defense and picking off enemies at range during a Blood Moon much easier.
*The specific numbers for magnification and bonuses may vary depending on the version or settings. Please check the actual effects in-game.
