So can snipers use night vision while using scopes?

New to multiplayer so that's why I'm asking.

Hello there

Some scopes have NV capability and some scopes are useable whilst wearing NVG.

The reverse is true also.

ARCO RCO, close combat scopes yes. DMS, khalia, long range no.

although there is a bug in the game which even worked for months for MP (havent tested for a while) where you could use a bug to get night or even thermal vision on long range scopes.
i doubt they fixed it so...

[Zion_Shall-Fall]

I see. can you take multiple different scopes, put it in your backpack and change it while you are in the field?

Hello there

yes, scope swapping is very simple.

OK, thank you for your replies.


This game is really underrated, it's absolutely awesome and more addictive than crack/cocaine, the only thing that bothers me is that I spend the majority of time flying/walking to and from the objectives and little time in actual combat. And you need time to enjoy this game, you can't just hop in and hop out. But nontheless, this game is so unique, now I see the appeal and why it has so many concurrent players in multiplayer - I was always shocked by how many players play Arma 3. It's hard to get into, but once you get past the basics you are hooked.

So damn true! It really is underrated, but once you enter "The World Of Arma" it is a superior game to other simulators!

Just sad that a lot of people don't give the game a chance to prove itself! :(

You know, when it has not been reported, the developers have no chance to repair it!

it has been reported. but all this MP issues are either not visible for everyone or deleted of the bugtracker.

i have reported a single huge multiplayer exploit/bug on the bugtracker. this is what happened:
first time it got deleted by mod in a couple of mins.
some months later it wasnt fixed yet. reported it again with alot of information how to reproduce.
a different mod deleted the topic.
over a year after first report i post it again.
then i get a notice from a mod if i post it again they will ban me.
that was the last time i reported something on that bugtracker. its a hoax.

oh btw: the exploit is still not fixed. more than 1 1/2 years after i have seen it for the first time.

edit: there is at least 1 more engine bug which gives u a huge advantage in mp/sp which has been in the game since forever. i dont think they intend to fix this. and yes ive seen this one being posted aswell.

most of these bugs are really not known by many people. but if you know them and use them you can gain hacker-like advantages. from my own view as server admin id say about 1% of the players know such bugs/exploits and use them frequently. Battleeye doesnt see them as hacks, because they are like ingame-features. you dont need to change anything to your arma.

its really sad whats happening to arma 3. its like playing an alpha which development has been cancelled :-/

[charlie50cal]

if you post the exploit and everyone starts using it and it becomes a real problem they'll put it on priority fix list...
