In S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, you can customize your weapons by adding attachments like scopes, silencers, and magazines. Here’s how you can equip attachments to get the most out of your gear.

Step 1: Find or Buy Attachments

Looting: Attachments can be found in the world by searching enemy bodies, stashes, or crates.
Trading: You can buy attachments from traders in the game. Look for weapon specialists or general merchants who sell equipment.

Step 2: Open Your Inventory

Press the Inventory key (I by detault) to open your inventory screen.
Find the weapon you want to modify. Your equipped weapons are usually at the top of your inventory.

Step 3: Check Weapon Compatibility

Hover over the weapon to see its stats and available attachment slots. Some weapons only support certain types of attachments, like specific scopes or silencers.
Compare the attachment you want to equip with the weapon’s compatibility list. The game will usually highlight compatible attachments.

Step 4: Equip the Attachment

Drag and drop the attachment onto the weapon’s slot. For example:
- Drag a scope to the weapon’s optics slot.
- Drag a silencer to the muzzle slot.
Once the attachment is placed, you’ll see it appear on the weapon icon in your inventory.

Step 5: Test Your Weapon

After equipping an attachment, exit the inventory and test the weapon to ensure it works as expected.
Scopes can be activated by aiming down sights (Right Mouse Button).
Silencers will make your shots quieter, reducing the chance of alerting enemies.

Tips for Using Attachments

Carry a Variety: Different missions need different tools. Keep a selection of scopes, silencers, and magazines to adapt to changing situations.
Save Rare Attachments: Some high-quality attachments are hard to find. Use them wisely and repair them if they get damaged.
Check Traders Regularly: Merchants often restock attachments, so check back frequently for new upgrades.
