Attachment

This article concerns the subject and the content related to it in *Apex Legends*. For the subject in *Apex Legends Mobile*, see Attachment (Mobile).

**Attachments** are items that can improve a weapon's stats. When picked up, they will immediately equip on the appropriate weapon if possible; if not, they can be carried in the inventory.

In Battle Royale, attachments can be found as loot items anywhere that loot is found. Fully kitted weapons have the highest quality attachments by default. In other game modes such as Arenas, Control, or Team Deathmatch, all weapons are fully kitted weapons, and attachment quality will correspond with the weapon's tier. The exception is optics, which can be freely swapped out on fully kitted weapons in all game modes.

## Vaulted attachments

These attachments are vaulted and are currently not available in any loot pool. They may return in the future.
