Equipping a scope...

[Findanniin]

I'm sure I'm missing the obvious; I picked up a scope - it's in my inventory in the engineering inventory screen...

No option to equip it to soldiers during loadout though.
Do I need a research project first or ... what am I missing?

Research Modular Weapons, then attach it to the weapon itself. It no longer goes in the soldier's utility slot(s).

[NeoSono]

modular weapons it's called I think. yes you need to research that first.

Weapon Upgrades are aplied to the weapon in Xcom2, rather than sitting in a consumable slot like in XCOM 1.

Cool, thanks!
(Really, we need to research /how/ to equip a scope? - No wonder the aliens won last time...)

Well, salvaged alien tech.. I imagine just duct-taping it on there won't quite provide the best possible accuracy so Tygan and Shen need to brainstorm for a few minutes to modify the existing Xcom rifles from 2015 to create proper places to attach the 2035 ADVENT modifications.

Fair enough, I guess. I'll just be grumbling to myself in the corner here... ;-)

I'll join you in regards to the basic ballistic extended magazines and the like, considering they're.. Taped double magazines by the looks of it. Oh how the mighty have fallen for Xcom to literally need to re-discover duct tape.

This thread makes me giggle like a little school girl. xD

I can't find where to equip Scopes and other things to weapons.

I have researched the modular weapons but i also still have base weapons. Is it not possible to modify these?
