How do I equip attachments to my weapons/tools?

Info

FPS weapons and hand tools come with a variety of attachments to improve or modify their function, such as scopes & suppressors for guns and the functional attachments for the Pyro multi-tool.

Attachments can be customised directly, via the loot HUD, or attached in the inventory view. You must have weapons or tools equipped to your character or carried in their hands to modify attachments.

In Customise View

Note: In the Customise view, you will only have access to attachments in your character's personal inventory, e.g. stored in your core, leg or backpack inventory.

  1. Draw the weapon or tool to modify. Note that FPS weapons cannot be drawn in armistice, so you may need to travel to a hangar or away from cities or stations to do this.

  2. Press J to open the Customise view. You can also hold F, then RMB on the weapon/tool and select Customise.

Via Loot HUD
