P1-87-L Scope

The P1-87-L Scope is a rare 2.8x eastern telescopic sight in DayZ. It fits KA-M, KA-74, KA-101, Vaiga, VSD, VSS, and Bizon, has fixed 200m zeroing, reduces dispersion by -0.0001, and is best matched to the KA-74 because its reticle is calibrated around 5.45x39mm ballistics.

Quick answer

The P1-87-L Scope is a short-range side-mounted telescopic sight for KA-based and eastern weapons in DayZ. It can be attached to the KA-M, KA-74, KA-101, Vaiga, VSD, VSS, and Bizon, but not the KAS-74U. The optic has fixed 2.8x magnification and fixed 200m zeroing. Its chevron reticle is calibrated around the KA-74 and 5.45x39mm ammunition, making it most reliable on the KA-74 beyond 200 meters. Other compatible weapons can still use the scope, but their different ballistics make the further aimpoints less accurate. The P1-87-L Scope reduces dispersion by -0.0001, takes 2 inventory slots, weighs 800 g, has 0 absorbency, and appears as rare military loot.

In-game description

“Short ranged mounted scope with 2.8x magnification factor. Compatible with KA based rifles.”

Main Uses

  • Attach to compatible KA-based and eastern weapons for 2.8x magnified aiming
  • Use as a compact medium-range optic on the KA-74
  • Use the fixed 200m zero for simple aiming at common fight distances
  • Use the chevrons as rough holdover marks at 300m, 400m, and 500m
  • Improve accuracy by reducing weapon dispersion
  • Use on the KA-M, KA-74, KA-101, Vaiga, VSD, VSS, or Bizon

How to use this item

Attach the P1-87-L Scope

Equip the P1-87-L Scope onto a compatible KA-based or eastern weapon to gain 2.8x magnification and a small dispersion reduction.

  1. Find a compatible weapon such as the KA-M, KA-74, KA-101, Vaiga, VSD, VSS, or Bizon.
  2. Find a P1-87-L Scope.
  3. Drag the P1-87-L Scope onto the weapon's optic slot.
  4. Use the fixed 200m zero as your main aiming distance.
  5. Use the lower chevrons only as rough holdover marks, especially if the weapon is not the KA-74.

How to get P1-87-L Scope

  • Search military loot locations.
  • Check barracks, tents, checkpoints, military containers, and high-value military zones.
  • Loot players carrying KA-based rifles, eastern rifles, or spare optics.
