Is scope useful to companions?

[Grogrokl]

There are some weapon modifications in the game that add a scope to the weapon. For example the 9mm pistol scope, the Hunting rifle scope and the Plasma Def. scope.

 

If I modify my companion's weapon by adding a scope to it, will he have any use of it? In other words, do companions use scope and is it useful for them?

Companions can't use it, it's really only helpful for our human eyes. There is no damage or accuracy boost from it either so the added effect is null.

Mute is correct- NPCs don't care about Sight FOV; the stat Scopes modify.

On that note- Companions won't gain the benefits of *any* mods on their weapons under vanilla conditions. You can give them a modded weapon, but the weapon will have no mods visibly or statistically active while they're using it.
