Laser Sight
OBJECT
An object and/or gameplay mechanic that allows a laser to assist in aiming a weapon. It is often in the form of a weapon attachment that is used to assist in close quarters combat with the accuracy of guns.


This gameplay mechanic is most common in third-person shooters, particularly those with an over-the-shoulder view. The laser sight mechanic was largely popularized by Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which used it in first-person view, and particularly Resident Evil 4 (Game), which combined it with an over-the-shoulder view, setting the standard for third-person action games.
