How to craft it

=+Tinkerer's Workshop

the zoom is pickier than it looks

Holding the activate key while carrying a gun pulls the camera back so you can see what you are shooting at. The catch is which weapons qualify. It keys off ammo type rather than the word gun, so bullets, gel, stakes, solutions and candy corn all work. Dart weapons do not, and neither do the Piranha Gun or Rainbow Gun, despite fitting every intuition about what a scope attaches to. The Clentaminator and Terraformer do work, which is a genuinely useful accident when you are painting a biome from a distance.

the rest of it

The damage and critical bonuses apply to every ranged weapon regardless of the zoom rule, so a bow user still wants this equipped. The aggro reduction only matters in multiplayer, where it steers enemies toward whoever is not wearing one, which is what you want if a friend is playing tank.

You can wear this alongside a Sniper Scope and collect both sets of bonuses, and the two zoom effects add slightly on top of each other.
