The weapon system is Crysis 3 features a handy attachment feature. As you kill enemies with certain weapons, your weapons will progress in level. The higher level that you weapon is, the more attachments that you will unlock. In addition, each weapon has its own specific set of attachments that is unlockable for the weapon. Take a look here for the list of weapons and attachments.
In this guide, we will take a look at the functions of those various attachments that you can earn.
Ammo:
The ammunition attachments that are available apply one to the predator bow.
Thermite Arrow – Arrow that features a carbon impact explosive
Airburst Arrow – Proximity Arrow
Recon Arrow – Tactical Tagging Arrow
Barrels:
Suppressor – Dampens firing sound in order to allow players to maintain stealth during battle. In addition the suppressor reduces weapon damage
Muzzle Brake – Reduces weapon recoil which improves accuracy; however, the attachment releases a brighter muzzle flash which reveals location and can reduce the actual visual
accuracy.
Match-Barrel – Increases the fire accuracy by reducing the bullet spread during fire.
Bayonet – Campaign only attachment that increases melee damage.
Scopes:
Iron Sights – Allows quick and accurate fire at close and medium ranges. This is the default attachment on all weapons except sniper rifles.
Reflex Sight
Assault Scope – Features a 3.5x magnifying scope to ease medium range combat.
Laser Sight – Projects a laser in order to improve hip-shot accuracy and allow quick shots. On the downside, the lasers will be visible to all players including the enemy.
Sniper Scope – Allows accurate fire in long range combat with two zoom magnifications. This is the default attachment on sniper rifles with the exception of the predator bow.
Tech Scope – Provides 1x scope as well as a thermal reading of the area in order to reveal heat signatures of any enemy.
Under-Barrels:
Foregrip – Reduces horizontal recoil as well as improves aim during fire.
Extended Magazine – Allows the amount of ammo loaded into a gun to be higher than normal but at a reduced reload speed.
Hologram – Deploys a decoy hologram to lure out enemies.
Mini Typhoon – Fires rounds that are reminiscent of the Typhoon and can be fired five times.
Gauss Attachment – This attachment is designed after the Gauss Sabot Gun. It allows the gun to fire powerful rounds similar to the Gauss Sabot Gun but only hold four shots.
Grenade Launcher – Fires grenades that must travel a distance before they will detonate.
Single Shot – Campaign only attachment that reduces automatic fire and burst fire weapons to semi-automatic weapons that fire only one round per shot.
Shotgun – Only available for the typhoon, this attachment fires 36 bullets in one shot for increased damage but greatly decreases ammo.
Double Magazines – Campaign only attachment that increases reload speed.
