Targeting Attachment

A team-ping mod, not a sight: it lets whoever holds the gun mark targets for the squad. Useless solo, handy for the player who scouts for a group.

Overview

In-game description

An internal weapon mod that allows the user to send pings to their team while the weapon is equipped.

Mark enemies for your team without taking your eyes off them. That is the whole item. It adds no zoom and no reticle and steadies nothing; the game describes it as an internal mod that lets you send pings to your team while the weapon is in your hands.

Picture a four-stack pushing a group dug in at a monument. You stay back on a ridge with a bolt action, spot two of them on a rooftop and ping each one. Your pushers now know which roof to watch, and nobody had to shout “left, no, the other left” over voice.

Solo, skip it entirely. Pings go to a team, and you do not have one. In a duo with good comms it is a nice extra at best.

The cost is the awkward part. It needs a Level 2 workbench and a Tech Trash, the same scarce part a holosight eats, and most groups spend that Tech Trash on the sight first. Being internal, it should leave the rail free for that sight, so your scout can run both once Tech Trash stops being tight.
