Changes: Attachments

Latest revision as of 19:46, 18 May 2012

Overview[]

Attachments provide a means to functionally and visually enhance a given Weapon. There are a maximum of four Attachment slots for most Weapons, though some have less or none.

While some Attachments are available from the beginning of the game, most will need to be unlocked through completing specific Challenges. All Attachments are usable by both the Security and the Resistance and there is no restriction on equipping them other than only allowing one for each slot.

Top[]

Top Attachments alter the sighting for Weapons, providing an enhanced view when aiming. Usually they offer an exposed aiming point in exchange for a slower equip speed.

Adjusted Iron Sights	Remove Peripheral Zoom	None
COGA Scope	Increased Zoom	Decreased Equip Speed
Snoop-R Scope	Increased Zoom	Decreased Equip Speed
Greeneye Scope	Increased Zoom	Decreased Equip Speed
D-Flex Red Dot Sight	Exposed Aiming Point	Decreased Equip Speed
C-U-Gone Red Dot Sight	Exposed Aiming Point	Decreased Equip Speed
YeoTek Red Dot Sight	Exposed Aiming Point	Decreased Equip Speed

Front[]

Front Attachments alter firing behaviour, generally making it easier and safer to fire. Usually they offer increased stability in exchange for lower range.

Name	Pro	Con
Silencer	Hides Firing Location	Decreased Damage
Muzzle Brakes	Increased Stability	Decreased Range

Magazine[]

Magazine Attachments alter reloading behaviour, generally making reloading less risky or frequent. Usually they offer increased magazine capacity in exchange for a lower accuracy and decreased equip and reload speeds.

Name	Pro	Con
High-Capacity Magazine	Increased Magazine Capacity	Decreased Accuracy, Equip & Reload Speed
Duct-Taped Magazine	Increased Reload Speed	Decreased Accuracy & Equip Speed
Drum Magazine	Increased Magazine Capacity	Decreased Accuracy, Equip & Reload Speed
Rapid Fire	Increased Fire Rate	Decreased Stability

Bottom[]

Bottom Attachments alter miscellaneous statistics, with some adding new functionality. Usually they cause a slower equip speed, but can improve the weapon in various ways.

Name	Pro	Con
Speed Sling	Increased Equip Speed	Decreased Stability
Speed Holster	Increased Equip Speed	Decreased Stability
Underslung Grenade Launcher	Contact-Detonated Grenades	Decreased Accuracy & Equip Speed
Front Grip	Increased Stability	Decreased Equip Speed

-Attachments are part of the [[Weapon Customization]] system in Brink. They provide a means to visually and functionally enhance a given weapon. While some attachments are available from the beginning of the game, most will need to be unlocked through gaining and spending [[Level Credits]], completing specific challenges, and through general game progression. Some examples are listed below.
-==Scopes==
+==Overview==
+'''Attachments''' provide a means to functionally and visually enhance a given [[Weapons |Weapon]]. There are a maximum of four Attachment slots for most [[Weapons]], though some have less or none.
-Scopes allow the operator to receive an ehanced view of the battlefield through a zoom. Weapons equipped with scope attachments are more potent at longer ranges; however, these attachments are often heavy, slowing down draw speed, and are a hindrance when aiming down the sights at close range.
-*[[COGA Scope]]
-''A medium-sized scope that allows for a slight zoom.''
-*[[Snoop-R Scope]]
-''A massive sniper scope that has the highest magnification setting possible.''
-*[[Greeneye Scope]]
-''A miniature scope, presumably a mix between a red dot sight and a scope (reflex sight). This scope is presumably available only through the'' ''[[Spec Ops Pack]].''
+While some Attachments are available from the beginning of the game, most will need to be unlocked through completing specific [[Challenges]]. All Attachments are usable by both the [[Security]] and the [[Resistance]] and there is no restriction on equipping them other than only allowing one for each slot.
-==Sights==
-Sights are top attachments that provide a better reticule for aiming. Though they lack the enhanced magnification that scopes provide, sights are lighter and are highly useful in close ranges.
-*Adjusted Iron Sights
-''This upgrade improves the standard iron sights for easier use without increased weight.''
-*[[YeoTek Red Dot Sight]]
-''An improved red dot sight in the shape of a square.''
-*[[D-Flex_Red_Dot_Sight|D-Flex Red Dot Sight]]
-''A simple sight with an arch shaped aperture and a dot in the middle.''
-*[[C-U-Gone Red Dot Sight]]
-''A circular sight with a dot in the middle.''
-==Magazine Attachments==
-Magazine Attachments are a type of Weapon Attachment in Brink, and can be outfitted to a weapon through the Weapon Customization menu. Improved magazines have increased ammunition capacity, which allow operators to last longer in combat without a resupply. Some specialize in decreasing reload times, while others specialize in massive ammunition counts. Unfortunately, all magazine attachments increase the time it takes to reload a weapon.

-==Silencers==
-Silencers reduce damage and range in return for decreasing the weapon's firing volume and muzzle flash. When using a silencer, the operator will not appear on the minimaps of enemy forces regardless of whether or not the operator is successfully hitting his or her target.

-''Two silencers available to the Resistance and the Security, respectively, through The Psycho pre-order pack''.
-==Muzzle Brakes==
-Vented muzzle breaks allow for improved recoil control in exchange for reduced weapon damage. These front attachments are useful in open warfare because accuracy while firing is easier to maintain.

-''A muzzle brake that simply gives a different flash than the four vent muzzle brake.''*[[Four-Vent Muzzle Break]]
-''A simple muzzle brake that slightly reduces recoil.''
