Reflex Sight

[Viper]

People are saying this is really bad. When I find the first station in Chapter 2 I only have 15 resin. Its all you can afford. So it seems the game wants you to buy the reflex sight. But does anybody like this thing.

[Sobekflakmonkey]

I don't, I just skipped the reflex sight all together on my second play through.

[Viper]

I think I will to...Thank you.

You might want to replay and try searching around some more. By the time I reached the first upgrade station, I had 20 resin, enough for either the reflex sight or the burst fire mode. I you don't want the reflex, you could at least have a choice for that.

I will do that I might have missed some.

The sight is wonky, it takes too much time to line up my shots with the red dot and honestly it'd probably be faster aiming down sights with the iron sights. Once I got the laser sight I just started hipfiring, the laser sight is truly amazing.

Yea, I would go straight for the laser sight.

I like it, its just a red dot gives a more clear sight picture and ♥♥♥♥. the alignment seems to be a bit off though but that's just the gun so it's the same with or without the HoloSight. but it could explain why its a bit harder to aim with it if you don't see the dot right away though. the Iron sights at least give you a visual clue with the gun being always visible....

but all in all i liked it and wasnt too hard to line up after a bit of practice.

I wish I could take the reflex sight off

I finished the game with reflexes on both my AR and my pistol. I don't see the problem with them.

I really don't mind the reflex sight on the AR. It's nothing amazing but it makes it easy to line up a sight picture.

On the Pistol though I absolutely loathe the holo sight. It's much harder to get a sight picture with than just using the iron sights.

I think the big difference is that the sight on the SMG is much bigger and the reticle is much bigger so if the sight picture is off it's much easier to correct. On the other hand with the pistol the reticle is so tiny in such a tiny sight that it's very easy for it to just disappear out the sides, and because it's aligned with the barrel rather than the sight itself, often it'll be below the sight line if you line up the scope.

Strongly suggest if you're having trouble with the pistol sight that you try aiming as though you're using the iron sights, and then lowering it a couple inches so you're looking through the scope at a slight downwards angle.

Valve should really improve the visibility and color of the reticle. The highlighted weakpoint is red while you looking through an orange scope with a slightly lighter orange reticle.
Searching for the reticle takes sometimes longer than killing an enemy.

On my second playthrough I went for burst mode as my first upgrade. If you don't have enough resin by then just contiue for a short while into the next area to collect more resin and then double back.

I prefer iron sights on the pistol. I agree with previous comments on sight picture. And seeing the weak points on targets is a waste because they’re exactly where you’d think they’d be.

For my second playthru, I’m going pistol mag extension then laser sight. Then laser sight on shot gun. Then laser and mag extension on combine. After that... probably try some upgrades I haven’t gotten yet.

People demand realism and immersion, but the minute Valve makes a holo sight realistic they cry.

I also had no issue.

It's ok but the Laser Sight is a gamechanger. I'm serious when I say this: I struggle to find a game where a simple weapon attachment changes the game so drastically.
