📋 About This Mod
Rifle scopes can now be attached to all Achilles/Widowmaker variants.
Update Mar 6: Seems not to be working with the most recent update, hopefully will be able to update this mod soon. I'd recommend not using this mod until I update.
Update Dec 3: Added an optional file to remove the Widow/Achilles ironsight - should be compatible with almost anything as long as it doesnt touch these files:
base\weapons\firearms\rifle_precision\militech_achilles\entities\w_rifle_precision__militech_achilles__base1_01_ironsight_01.ent
base\weapons\firearms\rifle_precision\militech_achilles\entities\meshes\w_rifle_precision__militech_achilles__base1_01_ironsights.mesh
A note on compatibility, from what I can tell in testing this does seem to work fine with many other weapon related mods including:
Zoomable Scopes
Any Scope -use this mod for access to sniper and pistol scopes
Weapon Mod Overdrive
Weapon Magazine Overhaul
SWSC - Simple Weapon Stat Customization
You absolutely need CET installed for this to work. I've only tested on CET version v1. 20. 0.
All credit goes to ScoopD and the mod BETTER Kenshin Masamune Saratoga Nekomata Achilles. I just modified the code a bit from the Better Achilles file. Unlike the original file, this does not modify any other weapon properties and does not create a new Achilles variant, it will simply modify the existing variants in the game to be able to use scopes.
Installation:
Install latest version of CET (CET version v1. 20. 0) if you havent
Unzip downloaded file
Place unzipped bin folder in main cyberpunk 2077 directory
Restores scoping ability to Achilles and Widowmaker weapons in Cyberpunk 2077 by modifying ScoopD's Better Achilles mod. Attaches scopes to all Achilles variants, addressing a post-1.6 disappointment. A niche fix for players who miss the original scoped functionality.

For Cyberpunk 2077 players who miss the scoped functionality on Achilles and Widowmaker after patch 1.6. If you're a fan of precision shooting and want to attach scopes to these weapons, this mod is for you. Skip if you don't use these weapons or prefer other weapon mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Better Achilles mod installed first, as this mod modifies its files.
- After installing, check your weapon mod slots in the inventory screen to attach a scope to any Achilles variant.
- If the scopes don't appear, verify that the mod files are placed in the correct archive folder (e.g., archive/pc/mod).
