How to Change Weapon Attachments in Back 4 Blood

Changing weapons attachments in Back 4 Blood isn’t as easy as players might expect, but it can be essential. Recently, Back 4 Blood introduced players to its beta and showed off many of the game’s newest mechanics. While Back 4 Blood is heavily inspired by the Left 4 Dead series, there are a handful of new mechanics that allow Back 4 Blood to form an identity separate from Left 4 Dead. It has been several years since Valve released a new entry in the series, with no sign that a true Left 4 Dead 3 will ever see the light of day. Back 4 Blood is here to fill that void and comes along with its own quirks. One of these quirks is how the game handles its weapon attachments.

When playing through a level, players will come across a variety of attachments that they can add to their weapon. Nearly every attachment works for every weapon, meaning these attachments can also function as the player’s downfall. Weapons like the Shotgun can have a Sniper Score attached to them, which could render the entire weapon useless, as no one is going to be able to get long-range kills with a Shotgun just because of an added scope. These incompatible attachment combinations can be dangerous during critical moments, while more useful combinations can give players a greater advantage. This guide will show players how to change their weapon attachments in Back 4 Blood.

How To Change Weapon Attachments in Back 4 Blood

In order to change a weapon’s attachments in Back 4 Blood, players will need to find a replacement for the specific attachment. For example, players who have collected a magazine they don’t want will need to find another magazine at the same level to replace it.

Currently, there is no way to completely take off an unwanted attachment. In a shooter like Back 4 Blood, this does add a bit of randomness to each match, and players will need to pay close attention to the attachments they find. The ability to remove attachments seems to be a feature that players would like to have, so it is possible such a feature will be added when the full version releases in October. It ultimately comes down to whether the developers wish to add this feature to meet demand.

Players can also drop their entire weapon, including attachments, and pick up a different option. Players will likely change weapons to fit whatever situation they find themselves in. Until the game introduces a way for players to drop old attachments, the only thing players can do is hope they find a comparable replacement to survive.

Back 4 Blood will release on October 12th, 2021 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
