Bodycam Attachments Guide: Stats, Compatibility & Unlocks

Bodycam‘s v0.8 “Locked and Loaded” update replaced the old random-kit system with a real loadout builder: you start with one base weapon and unlock everything else — around 400 attachments across every weapon and category — by spending Reissad Points earned in matches. This guide covers the eight stats every attachment can affect, the full category tree as Reissad lists it, how compatibility works between parts, and a way to choose parts for a starter weapon by the problem you are trying to fix.

Attachments are the parts you mount on a weapon inside the loadout builder to change how it handles in a fight. Before v0.8, weapons came with whatever the mode handed you. Now every weapon has its own pool of compatible parts, and the studio tracks each attachment’s impact across eight named effects rather than a single generic “recoil” number.

Reissad Studio’s own definitions for the eight effects, taken directly from the update post, are in the table below. The per-attachment numbers behind them appear on the in-game Tactical Tablet; the notes do not print them. Current RP prices after the Patch #3 cut are covered in our Reissad Points and unlock cost breakdown.

The category tree the studio shipped with v0.8 has 14 top-level categories. Four of them — Barrels, Muzzle, Optics and Stocks — have subcategories; the rest are single slots. Note where Reticle and Canted Optic sit: the post lists them as their own categories, not inside Optics, which matters when you are hunting for a part in the builder.

Not every entry in that tree changes performance: the studio labels attachments that carry no gameplay effect as cosmetic, so the game tells you up front which parts are purely visual.

Compatibility rules are set per weapon rather than per category, so an optic or barrel that fits one gun won’t necessarily mount on another that looks similar. With roughly 400 attachments spread across dozens of weapons, that adds up fast. The developer note attached to the system is blunt about the scale of it: “This system introduces thousands of possible combinations for each weapon, so we were not able to test every single one. Please report any compatibility or clipping issues you find.”

Every attachment in the loadout builder is unlocked with Reissad Points, the progression currency earned by playing matches. There is no real-money path to attachments inside the game: v0.8 turned the real-money cosmetics shop (Operator Skins) off entirely — anything already bought stays owned and is restored on first connect after the update. The table lists the in-game routes as the patch notes describe them.

RP comes from playing matches; Patch #2 raised the per-mode multipliers and Patch #3 cut attachment prices by 25–30 % and set private lobbies to half rate. Which modes are live matters more than the percentages: Bodybomb has been retired and replaced by Wingman 2v2 (Major Update) and Zombie Mode is temporarily disabled (Patch #1). How RP is earned, what it costs and the farming routes are the Reissad Points guide‘s job — this table only records what each mode’s reward change was.

The attachment overhaul did not land on the old weapon roster. v0.8 added the BK-101 shotgun, the Rivington sniper rifle, the SG9-X and Veaper machine pistols, a reintroduced SG5-X machine pistol and the CR-75 pistol, and every weapon model was reworked so individual parts can be customised in the loadout.

Whether a freshly unlocked weapon starts bare or with a default attachment set is not stated in the update post — check the weapon’s card on the tablet before spending RP on it.

Optics got their own dedicated overhaul inside the same update. “A new Picture-in-Picture magnified optics system has been added, bringing proper magnified scopes to the game for the first time”. Alongside that, canted optics arrived with their own dedicated reticles, plus a dedicated switch action to toggle between your primary optic and the canted one mid-fight.

The category tree lists Close Range, Medium Range, and Long Range optics as separate entries, but the update post doesn’t pair any specific range to any specific map — Trenches versus the game’s tighter interior maps included. Matching optic range to map is a judgment call based on how open a map’s sightlines are, not something Reissad has published a chart for.

v0.8 also overhauled how sound works alongside the attachment system. Reissad added a new sound propagation system built around Organic Reverb, which analyses the surrounding environment in real time, together with shockwave propagation that carries gunfire through corridors, stairwells and openings, distance- and volume-based occlusion on gunshots, and improved vertical audio between floors. The muzzle category is the one attachment choice that touches this system directly: the Suppressor ships with dedicated audio layers per weapon.

Which weapon category to unlock first is a separate decision from attachments, and the notes do not rank categories. Use the map’s shape — Trenches is “intense close quarters fights inside the trench network and longer range engagements across the open areas” — and the mode you queue to pick the range you fight at most, then compare the categories the tablet offers for that range; a weapon-by-weapon guide is a separate piece.

Without a published stat table, a universal “buy this first” list would be a guess, so this is a frame: name the problem that is getting you killed, then compare only the attachments whose effect addresses it, reading the values on the tablet card for your specific weapon.

“Attachments are basically reskins”

Attachments are not skins — a suppressor that changes the audio profile is an information tool in a game about hearing, and a long barrel that changes handling is a real choice, not a cosmetic swap. Only the entries the studio labels cosmetic carry no gameplay effect.

“A new weapon unlocks fully kitted”

The update post does not say either way — check the weapon on the tablet before assuming it is bare or pre-built.

“Opening the tablet pauses the match”

Press hands-on reports say it does not; Reissad has not documented it either way. Until that is confirmed, treat the tablet as something to open before the match or between rounds, in cover.
