Why does disabling the crosshair remove the cannon scope?

[Larry the Cacodemon]

Yes I get it that disabling hud is suppose to take away the crosshair but it makes no sense that it also does this for things like the cannon's sniper scope. In other games disabling the hud does not typically also disable weapon specific equipment, which I consider the scope to be. Disabling the hud literally makes the scope upgrade useless since you can't see what you are aiming at. I started off playing with crosshair disabled as I typically do in fps games but found the game unfun because of how makes the scope upgrade useless.

Very weird post....so you dont want crosshairs for any weapons....only the "sniper"?

Perhaps its done because of just that, NO CROSSHAIRS, at all?

If this is a problem for you, i really dont know what to say tbh.

Sniper is different. The sniper scope is an AD-ON. It's not just a regular crosshair. It's a specific tool. In most other games where crosshair is disabled, you get an exception with things like sniper scopes. There is literally no reason to eve buy the sniper addon if there is no crosshair. It breaks the game.

I think his point is that the crosshair normally is part of the UI (something outside of the game world), while the crosshair on the sniper is a physical thing in the game world.
