Game devs don't understand Red Dots

I could complain about the LCO being the main "holographic sight" in the zone while in reality it's rare, expensive, only sold in USA and not being a holographic sight in the first place but no.

What triggers me is where it's placed on the rail. Why do game devs think red dots are supposed to replace rear sight ?

Unlike normal sights, red dots can be used with both eyes open, so it's better that the red dot is towards the middle of the weapon to less tire the dominant eye. It also allows to have back up sights (front and rear) as theposition of the red dot does not interfere.

I know I sound like an idiot, it will never be read, never be fixed, I just don't understand why the devs keep doing this when 2 minutes on google are enough to see how to install sights on modern rifles.

I noticed the same thing about the position. Skif being a military vet should know better.

clearly you forgot and completely missed the main point of the game called ALTERNATE TIMELINE

THAT triggers me. You wouldn't shoot with one eye closed, would you?

Totally agree. Holosight in this game sometimes worse than ironsight. You cant see ♥♥♥♥. We need more control over this things. More variety of scopes. And the ability to change dots shape would`nt hurt.

Like I said the LCO is a weird choice but ok. For the zone a aim point pro would be more robust and a XPS3 more cool.

I'm sorry I don't get your point, you can use normal sights with both eyes open but only in really close combat situation.

Only in videogames are optics > iron sights. Both have their pros and cons. When you enter a dark room and aim through a holo sight you know what you see? a bright ass circle and nothing else.....

like how a HEADLAMP is not a flashlight..... and a light above your eyes, is not going to help you see that far at night.

Sometimes the world looks darker when using the "holo" sight, could be a thing with really bad quality red dot but not with a LCO). I guess it's a bug.

Valid complaint with such focus on guns. I really like the guns, animations and sounds in this game. Would personaly add more "pop" when bullet goes around you, sometimes is hard to tell you are being shot at and its not just background rodeo.

Any experienced shooter can aim with both eyes open at a distance. You focus on the front sight while relaxing your eyes the same way you would when viewing a Magic Eye puzzle.

Probably prone, in safety, in your comfy shooting range but in the zone surrounded by anomalies, mutants, hostiles, always on the run I would rely on a red dot for fast target acquisition and to keep an eye (pun non intended) on my surroundings. But backup sights would probably be useful if red dots malfunction with humidity and harsh conditions.

Anyway that's not really my complain, it was about the aesthetic and authenticity of the weapon, red dots should be this close UNLESS you don't have much space to put it further away.

I like how they are getting a steady supply of CR2032s for all the reddots.

Did you notice the PKM has 7.62x39mm calibre instead of 7.62x54mm r ?
