night vision scope

[Skaldsyn]

Had another question. I got Reba and Reba II. So this might be dumb but is there a way to "turn off" night vision on Reba II's scope. It ok at night (obviously) but during the day it makes the gun practically useless. You look through the scope and it is so bright with night vision it makes you feel like you have a aneurysm about to explode in your head.

No, I don't believe so.

But you should be able to switch the scope via the Weapons Workbench.

I personally don't use Night Vision scopes. I find them kinda useless, even at night.

BUt I might try another play through focues on doing a "Night Person" sniper, for bonus exp and such.

Yeah this^. I play as a sniper build and night vision scopes aren't that great; especially in daylight. If you don't mind losing a little more screen space the Recon scope is a nice middle ground that I use on my primary sniping rifle. For some reason the recon scope doesn't pick out every enemy I may be looking at but it works about 75% of the time and seems to make picking out enemies a little easier at night than a standard scope does. And the biggest downside is that the scope blocks out a large portion of the HUD if you walk around with your sniper rifle equipped. I mitigate this by walking around with a medium/close quarters weapon equipped if I expect trouble and switch to my rifle when appropriate.

Rab!d- I know but I just wanted to see if it was possible so you could have the best of both, a regular scope during the day (night vision off) and night vision for the night time something you can just flip on or off depending on the day. I mean in real life most snipers would have something that you switch on or off.

Lewis- I agree kind of. It's not great but sometimes it helps. As said above it would be nice if it could be turned on or off depending on the situation. As soon as I can I'm going to replace the scope.

Another question what is the difference between the long scope and short scope? Does a long scope add more accuracy or range?

[Jeff Kaos]

Long scope magnifies a greater distance.

[Kasane Randell MFer]

Short scopes are for Shorter, but better accuracy for mid, close ranged, depending on where you are for it. Long scopes are for long range sniping along with the recon scope (which marks the target hostiles).

Personally, I use Medium scopes. I find them to be better for almost anything with what I need. The range on the magnify is good for me, better viewing of ranged surronding when trying to snipe, so I know what I'm facing, as of the loing range which focusing more on the target.

Thanks. Think I'll turn Reba II into a long range 50 cal sniper rifle and Reba I into mid range .308 sniper rifle.
