Field Manual

The McLight 2D is a weapon-mounted torch in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Creator DLC.

Design[]

The McLight 2D can be mounted onto the following weapon platforms:[PointerSlot 1][PointerSlot 2]

  • G3 battle rifle (7.62 mm)
  • GV M/75 battle rifle (7.62 mm; both variants)
  • SG5 submachine gun (9 mm)

Mounting the McLight 2D onto a weapon will increase its inertia penalty by +0.1.[CfgWp 2] It should be noted that unlike the McLight 3D, the McLight 2D is classified as a side slot accessory, and as such, it cannot be attached to a weapon's optics slot.

Additionally, not all variants of each compatible weapon allow for the McLight 2D to be mounted. Only specific variants listed below for their respective platform support the flashlight:

Trivia[]

  • Global Mobilization's McLight 2D is modelled after 1980s-era LED flashlights developed by Maglite.
  • It was not originally featured as a usable attachment at release and was only added in Update 1.5.[1]
