Make your weapon
Attachments
Suppressors, sights, magazines, foregrips and lights, one part per mount, built into the same resource as separate components.
Mounts
Weapon Studio attachments sit on mounts, the points where the game fits a part. The game holds one part per mount, so you pick a part for each mount instead of placing parts freely. The base decides which mounts exist:
Muzzle
What goes there:Suppressors. The part starts at the muzzle; the flash moves to its tip.Bases:All firearmsOptic
What goes there:Scopes and sights.Bases:Rifles, SMGs, Sniper RifleMagazine
What goes there:Magazines. Capacity comes from the part.Bases:Rifles, SMGs, pistols, Sniper RifleUnder grip
What goes there:Foregrips and bipods.Bases:Assault Rifle, Carbine RifleSide rail
What goes there:Lights and lasers.Bases:Rifles, SMGs, pistols, Pump Shotgun
The Knife and the Baseball Bat have no mounts. The base table lists the mounts of every base.
- 1. 4/5: mounts used on this base
- 2. Fill empty mounts: suggests a part for every empty mount
- 3. Each part adds 50 credits: on top of the weapon price
- Fill empty mounts puts a suggested part on every empty mount. Clear all removes every part.
- The count at the top, such as 4/5, shows how many mounts carry a part.
The parts
There are 25 parts. For each mount the studio lists the parts made for the class of your base first, so a rifle magazine never lands on a pistol by default. Shotguns count as rifles.

You cannot upload your own attachment models yet. Every part is built from this catalogue, with your size and position.
Placing and sizing a part
A part appears at its suggested spot and at real size: suppressors at the muzzle, magazines under the grip, optics on the rail. Move it only if it does not sit right. Click a mount to open it:
- 1. Tactical Suppressor: one part per mount
- 2. Forward / back, Up / down, Length: move or size the part in cm
- 3. To the muzzle / Reset: back to the suggested spot
- Forward / back and Up / down move the part, in cm.
- Length (suppressors), Height (magazines) or Size (everything else) scale it. The suggested size shows next to it once you change it.
- To the muzzle puts a suppressor back on the muzzle point; Reset goes back to the suggestion.
- In the viewport, click a mount label, then drag the part along the weapon.
Check the Side view before you build: a suppressor must touch the muzzle, a magazine must show below the grip. The part is built exactly where you leave it.
- 1. MUZZLE: a mount label; click it, then drag the part
- 2. Side / Front / Top: check the fit from every side
- 3. Mount chips: the part on each mount; × removes it
Attachments in game
Each part becomes its own weapon component named after the weapon and the part, for example COMPONENT_SANDSTORMRIFLE_TACTICALSUPPRESSOR. A player can carry the weapon with or without it. The result page lists every component name.
GiveWeaponComponentToPed(PlayerPedId(), GetHashKey('WEAPON_SANDSTORMRIFLE'), GetHashKey('COMPONENT_SANDSTORMRIFLE_TACTICALSUPPRESSOR'))A magazine part is marked on spawn on the result page: it is on the weapon as soon as the weapon is given. The capacity of the magazine part applies, for example 45 rounds for the Extended Curved Magazine.
Price
Each part costs 50 credits on top of the weapon, on every path: reskin, own model and a model from a picture. A discount on weapons does not lower the parts.
Adding parts to a finished weapon
On the result page of a weapon, Add attachments reopens its draft straight on the mounts.
- 1. Add attachments: reopens the draft on the mounts; only new parts cost
As long as you only change parts, the weapon itself is not charged again. Each part on the new build costs 50 credits, including the parts the weapon already had. The Sandstorm Rifle with its four parts shows 200 credits:
- 1. This weapon is already paid: the weapon is not charged again, the parts are
- 1. Parts only: every part on the weapon, at 50 credits each
The new build is a new version of the weapon with the same names. Replace the old folder on your server with the new one. Changing anything else, such as the texture, the model, the fit, the name or the stats, charges the weapon again.
