How do sniper rifles work? I can't hit anything

Using a SVD and even someone at 20 meters, scope is dead on the enemy, missing every shot. Even holding breath does nothing, it locks the pointer at weird angles

That sounds bugged. You're doing all the right things, sounds like you should be hitting the target. Not sure what to suggest to fix it. You don't have any weird status effects like being drunk or similar?

you have bullet drop at distance and you have to lead when someone is moving but if its 20 meters and the target is static then you have it bugged. I dont have that problem on my end so far.

It also becomes progressively brighter as if my gamma was being turned up

I dunno if you tried these things, but you can hold breath to stabilize your aim and also you need to account for ballistic trajectory and lift the scope marker slightly above target the further away you are. Same was in the first games but you can get hang of it pretty fast.

It's 100% a bug. Had it happen to me once. The scope decal gets messed up and is off centre. Fixed when I reloaded a save.
