📋 About This Mod
Grants the ability to change the unremovable scopes from weapons like Ol' Reliable, Lexington X-MOD2, Breakthrough, Borzaya, Overwatch, O'Five, Sparky, Ambition, Headsman.
Some scopes have no icon. Some scopes are named after the weapon they are coming from because they have no name otherwise.
Installation
Download and install TweakXL.
Download and install RED4ext.
Download the mod. You should get a zip file.
Drop the contents of the zip file into your game's root folder.
If you did everything correctly the folder/file structure for the mod's files should look like this:
\Cyberpunk 2077\r6\tweaks\RemoveUnremovableScopes.yaml
Notes
If you want to report a bug, equip the problematic weapon, hold it in your hands and put this in CET's console and press the Enter button:
print(GetPlayer():GetWeaponRight():GetItemID().id.value)It will print the name of the weapon's preset, something like "Items. Preset_Something". Copy paste this name into your comment/bug report. Credits to psiberx for the code snippet.
Screenshots were taken while using my mod Unlocked Attachments - Update 2. 0 PL - CET.
If you can't remove a scope ("Action Blocked") you just need to equip a different scope and you'll be able to unequip it.
If you don't want to install these mods then you need to install the optional file so that you can actually equip the weapons with scopes lol. It just makes their scopes slots able to be equipped with every scope type (short, long, sniper, etc.). For the addon you need to install CET.
Since some of these scopes are dummy parts, they won't work if you equip them on other weapons, but some of them will. For example, you can remove Breakthrough's Gaki and equip it on other weapons, but it probably won't work on them. As far as I can tell these are just dummy scopes that tell the scope part of the weapon model to appear.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 790 endorsements and over 330k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Directly solves a common annoyance for players who want to customize their favorite unique weapons.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2023—may not be compatible with the latest Fallout 4 updates or DLC.

For Fallout 4 players who love unique weapons but hate being stuck with their default scopes. If you're a completionist or a modder who wants more flexibility in your loadout, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use any of the listed weapons or prefer to keep vanilla restrictions.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the weapon DLCs (like Far Harbor or Nuka-World) if you're using those specific weapons, as the mod may require them.

- If you're on PC, you can also use console commands to remove scopes, but this mod offers a more permanent and convenient solution.
