You can see this in <a href="https://www.zombicide.com/dl/rulebook-zombicide-season-1.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the rules</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Specific  Equipment  cards  can  be  combined  to  build  im-proved 
  weaponry.  Take  the  two  appropriate  cards,  which  must  be 
  already  stored  in  the  Survivor’s  inventory,  and  combine them
  into the new weapon. This does not cost an Action, and the new weapon
  takes only a single slot in your Survivor’s inventory. When built,
  Survivors may immediately and freely equip improved weapons to their
  hands.</p>
  
  <p>Sniper Rifle: Combine a Rifle and a Scope to get a sniper rifle. Put
  the Scope card under the Rifle card. Now you can choose your targets
  when firing with this Rifle</p>

+1 for quick answer, do you remember which part of the rule book is this in? It'll help if I know where to look for as reminder during the game.

We have no expansions yet. But I downloaded some of the additional scenario's (https://www.zombicide.com/en/missions/) for extra fun.

<p>I have recently began playing Zombicide and started with season 3.</p>

<p>There is a 'Scope' which can be combine with 'Rifle' to make a sniper rifle. No question about the effect of the weapon, just the number of slots it requires to carry or equip.</p>

<p>There is a molotov which works on a similar principle, combining 'Gasoline' and 'Glass Bottle', but there is a 'Molotov' card which you replace the combination with and it'll take up only 1 slot.</p>

<p>However even after being combined the sniper rifle is technically a 'Rifle' with a 'Scope', so should it take up 1 or 2 slots?</p>

<p>If it takes up 2 slots, does the Scope need to be on the other hand or can it be carried and still be in effect like 'Plenty of Ammo'?</p>

Do scope take up a slot after being combined with a gun?

I have recently began playing Zombicide and started with season 3.

There is a molotov which works on a similar principle, combining 'Gasoline' and 'Glass Bottle', but there is a 'Molotov' card which you replace the combination with and it'll take up only 1 slot.

However even after being combined the sniper rifle is technically a 'Rifle' with a 'Scope', so should it take up 1 or 2 slots?

If it takes up 2 slots, does the Scope need to be on the other hand or can it be carried and still be in effect like 'Plenty of Ammo'?
