Quick answer

The PSO-1-1 Scope is a side-mounted 4x telescopic sight for KA-based and eastern weapons in DayZ. It can be mounted on the KA-M, KA-74, KA-101, Vaiga, VSD, VSS, Vikhr, and Bizon. The optic is ballistically calibrated for the VSS and Vikhr, making it especially useful with 9x39mm weapons. On faster KA-based rifles like the KA-M, KA-101, and KA-74, players may need to intentionally undershoot targets at certain ranges because of the higher muzzle velocity. The PSO-1-1 Scope has an illuminated reticle powered by an optional 9V Battery, consumes 0.02 energy per second, reduces dispersion by -0.000125, takes 6 inventory slots, weighs 600 g, and can be found in military loot locations as an uncommon optic.

  • Attach to compatible KA-based and eastern weapons for 4x magnified aiming
  • Use with the VSS or Vikhr for the most accurate ballistic match
  • Use the built-in rangefinder to estimate target distance
  • Power the illuminated reticle with a 9V Battery
  • Improve accuracy by reducing weapon dispersion
  • Zero from 100m to 1000m for longer shots
  • Use on weapons like the KA-M, KA-101, KA-74, Vaiga, VSD, VSS, Vikhr, and Bizon

How to use this item

Attach the PSO-1-1 Scope

Equip the PSO-1-1 Scope onto a compatible KA-based or eastern weapon to gain 4x magnification, rangefinding markings, and improved dispersion.

  1. Find a compatible weapon such as the KA-M, KA-101, KA-74, Vaiga, VSD, VSS, Vikhr, or Bizon.
  2. Find a PSO-1-1 Scope.
  3. Insert a 9V Battery if you want the illuminated reticle to be clearly visible.
  4. Drag the PSO-1-1 Scope onto the weapon's optic slot.
  5. Use the 4x optic and rangefinder markings to estimate target distance.
  6. Adjust zeroing between 100m and 1000m as needed.

How to get PSO-1-1 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.

  • It has an illuminated reticle powered by a 9V Battery.
  • The 9V Battery is optional, but without it the crosshair and rangefinder are only faintly visible.
  • It consumes 0.02 energy per second.
  • A single 9V Battery lasts around 42 minutes of active use.
  • It does not have variable zoom.
  • It can zero from 100m to 1000m.
  • It has a built-in manual rangefinder for 1.7m-tall targets.
