Yes, but in my opinion no other third tier attachment slots are any good. The laser sight only effects hipfire and gives away your position, a flashlight has no need being on a sniper rife, the suppressor increases bullet drop and decreases bullet speed. Yet the flash suppressor hides the exhaust of the weapon, something that has given away enemy snipers to my eyes before. I simply loath having my third tier attachment slot set to nothing, I like being able to make use of everything possible that is good and not having something where I can have something is something that I hate.
