The AOK 4.0x RQ-9 Recon is available as an optic for most of the weapons in the game, particularly assault rifles and marksman rifles.

Simply go to the optics section of the gunsmith, scroll through the available options, and you’ll stumble upon this specific optic. Equip it with your preferred weapon and you’ll be able to use it.

Since the challenge requires you to equip it to a recommended weapon, check your loadout and see which of them are currently being recommended. These are generally MW3 weapons.

Pick your favourite one, customize it, and make sure to attach the AOK 4.0x RQ-9 as an attachment. This optic provides a 4x zoom as well as no sniper glint. It’s a solid optic that can greatly help in taking out enemies.
