'Reflex sights or reflector sights are a modification available in Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.
Background[]
A reflector sight is an optical sight for weapons that displays a floating, illuminated reticle visible through the sight. The reticle is created by bouncing the image off the reflector, which appears to be sitting in front of the viewer at an infinite distance. The same principle ensures the reticle remains in alignment with the weapon regardless of the viewer's position, removing parallax and other sighting issues common to other aiming devices.
Characteristics[]
This weapon mod adds a reflex sight to replace the normal iron sights. For most weapons with this modification, the reflex sight is more clear and precise than the normal sights, either with glow sights or not.
The reticle used depends on the weapon; weapons with one reflex sight option will have a circle with a dot in the middle, while weapons with two reflex sight options will have a simple dot option alongside the aforementioned reticle. Pipe weapons have small tubes with screws instead, keeping in the style of pipe weapons.
Reflex sights also decrease AP cost in V.A.T.S.

Non-reflector "reflex" sights[]
Several mods marked as "reflex" sights aren't a proper reflector sight:
- Pipe gun "reflex sights" are two perpendicular screws acting as a rudimentary optic.
- The harpoon gun "reflex" sight is a simple gunner's sight with all the sighting problems of conventional, non-reflector sights.
- The railway rifle is a tube with three pins, not a reflector sight.
Behind the scenes[]
Service rifle reflex sight was a planned modification in Fallout: New Vegas, but was never implemented - and technically, it wasn't a reflector sight at all.
