1-4x scope is awful?

[Jozsefirst]

I tried running this thing a couple of times now and I'm always reaching the same conclusion.

The sight is just so da*n bulky, it makes room clearing feel like I'm at a constant disadvantage, which would be an understandable downside given that we're talking about a sight meant to be used at longer ranged engagements, had that not been rendered irrelevant because unfortunately it sucks at those too.

The reason it sucks is that the 4x sight doesent really give you much zoom at all, it could barely classify as a magnified optic, I'd say it's actual magnification ratio sits around 1.25x.
So it functions more like a reflex sight that's bulky as hell and has a rather cluttered sight picture when compared to the rest of the optics... Not great.

I haven't tried the 1-12x just yet but given how utterly useless the 4x is at ranges that are supposed to be optimal for it's designated magnification I might as well give that one a go.

I don't mind it because you have the secondary option of using the "iron site" on top of it by pressing P. I do use it on occasion for immersion but I would agree that it seems to be lack luster w/ zoom. It does seem to be less than specified on the magnification.

It doesn't have any zoom at all actually. Pretty sure none of the magnification optics currently provide any zoom.

12x currently does nothing for sure.

Oh wow...
Well, here's thanks for saving me the time and effort to find that out the hard way

I was about to say, I don't think there are any actually magnified optics which makes it kinda redundant to even have. I like that they're adding more models for attachments, but if you're going to make them all 1x, just make models of nonmagnified optics. Don't give us an LPVO or an Elcan and then not have them be magnified. I was a little disappointed when that happened.

Here's to hoping they add actual magnification in the future. Having a functional LPVO would be awesome in this game.

Can confirm that the devs plan in the future for you to be able to change scopes in the future. Though if next update will include that, I have no idea

there is zoom but it like about 0.25+ zoom or something
for so call x4 scope or maybe you dont know how to increase zoom yet because no one teaching you how to
and also the nature of this game where sus shooting as fast as they saw you and screen turn all black blur stuff
make scope like some sort of experiment they test on dev build only version
also i think one of scope actually got no zoom but i dont remember which one it is

In all the the default maps and custom maps I played I never saw much of a need for a magnified optic. A red dot always did the trick. And enemies at long range can't see the player so you can take your time at taking a shot. Not saying they won't be important in the future versions of the game.

Go to "Options > Graphics" and disable the "ADS ZOOM" option. What happens is that when you aim, your whole screen zooms, giving the impression that the 1-4x and 1-12x scopes are not giving their zoom properly. Disabling that option should fix that.
