Secondary Sights are severely bugged with 2022 Christmas update.

[Kaedescope]

As the title suggests the new secondary sights need a hotfix because when using them and then swapping to another weapon and then back again, the sight will visually reset itself, but the position or zoom level (Depending on the magnifier of the secondary sight if any) WILL PERSIST. Pressing Q will reset it back to normal zoom and pressing Q again will fix the visual animation until you swap again. This leads me to an awkward habit of having to Q out of the secondary sight before swapping just so it doesn't bug out.

Also, please take note that ALL sights that are considered secondary sights ARE AFFECTED, this includes the sights on the grenade launchers that have flip up sights (which displace the ADS when bugged out). The new hybrid sights from the McShay Modpack are not affected by this (the CASSIAN Elite and Sharp).

If you want to replicate this bug, follow the steps as it happens 100% of the times i tested:

1) Equip a gun with a secondary sight
2) ADS and take note of the zoom level and orientation of the secondary sight
3) press Q to flip the secondary sight on
4) swap to another weapon then swap back
5) ADS again and take note of the zoom level and orientation of the secondary sight
6) you should end up with a bugged zoom or displaced gun as the game still thinks the secondary sights are still up BUT visually they aren't so you end up with your primary sight being zoomed or your gun being displaced while ADSing.

Having the same problem, I was wondering if I was going insane. Also, can't you activate the magnifier function without ADS?

Nope since they moved it entirely to it's own function. They had to make it only during ADS because before the update it was using the same code as gadgets to activate.

this is with the Hybrid Sights right? because while it's something really small, it's just driving me insane.

Anything under the secondary sights tab in the armory and the exception of the grenade flip up sights is affected. Primary sights like the new hybrid sights (the CASSIAN Sharp and Elite) are, surprisingly, not affected.

So my guess is it has something to do with secondary sights in general.

And it is something small but I feel you, it does get annoying during the heat of battle.
