1x?..or 2x?

[fuazo]

which optic is better? should i run 1x all the time or 2x?

Kinda personal preference, most competitive players only use 1x. However, it really won't matter all that much, but sticking to one or the other really helps building up muscle memory.

I prefer 2x, it can help in longer ranges hiting them headshots, but hinder you only in melle range cq.
But as B4rr Said, Stick to one.

Unless you have a build that is only for long engagements

This. 1x is good for every range that matters on infantry guns. You can still tap HS far away and it will help you with the percieved recoil of the weapon.

2x can help you if you struggle with far away targets but you'll trade a bit of recoil management for a bigger target. If you have trouble hitting the enemy in the first place, 2x can help you, if you struggle to stay on target, 1x will help you there.

Just don't go over 2x with infantry guns. Anything more is redundant and will hinder you more than help you.

Battle rifles are a different matter, but usually 2x or 3.4x are enough on those too.

It's personal preference and can be influenced by a lot of things like your field of view and how large your screen is. If you have trouble seeing stuff, use higher magnification.
For sensitivity calculations, keep in mind that "1x" means 1.35x unless you've modified your config file to set your field of view extremely high (96+?).
