The PSO-1 scope (Pritsel Snaipersky Optichesky, "Optical Sniper Sight") is a weapon attachment featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.
Overview[]
The PSO-1 scope is a magnified optical scope with a x2 magnification. The PSO-1 can be mounted on any Soviet or Russian made weapon such as the AKM-74/2 and the AC-96/2, and features the same magnification as the SUSAT scope. Unlike the SUSAT scope, the PSO-1's view includes a more visible drop compensator system which can assist with shooting at distant targets.
In all games of the series, the SVDm-2, SVUmk-2 and the Vintar BC feature a non-detachable PSO-1 scope with higher magnification.

Appearances[]
Shadow of Chernobyl[]
A widely used Soviet scope. The scope can be mounted on a weapon using a dovetail mount used by the Warsaw Pact countries.
― In-game description
Acquisition[]
The PSO-1 scope can be difficult to obtain in the beginning of Shadow of Chernobyl. The box in Borov's office may contain the scope. Mercenaries in the Wild Territory use the PSO-1 scope on their Akm 74/2s, and some Loners in the Army Warehouses use this scope, such as Smartass. The Military begin to use it in the Red Forest, after disabling the Brain Scorcher.
Bullet will give the player a PSO-1 scope if they assist him on his ambush against the Bandits in the Dark Valley. One can also be obtained from Screw in the Freedom base by giving him a bottle of vodka.
The scope may be found in the following stashes:
- Secret stash on the tower in Bar area of Rostok

Acquisition[]
PSO-1m scopes can be found attached primarily to Dutyer rifles, as well as most Monolith and soldiers using the AC-96/2 or SA Avalanche. In particular, both Klimenko and Skelya use a scoped weapon, and since their death is scripted during the main story, it can be retrieved from them.
The PSO-1m scope is sold by Owl and Hawaiian.
