DysTek Hi-Scope x4

The DysTek Hi-Scope x4 is an unlockable weapon attachment in Battlefield 2142. It is only available for the Recon class.

Description
The DysTek is essentially a modified scope, of which are found on long range rifles like the Morretti SR4. It is designed to allow the user to engage in combat from a much farther range that the default scope allows. As the name suggests, it allows the user to manually zoom up to a magnification of x4 more than the default scope.

Gameplay
The DysTek is found as an unlockable on the 'Sniper' branch of the Recon kit's unlock tree. When equiped, the user gains its enhanced zoom function. The user can zoom by scrolling in with the mouse wheel. This allows the user to become much more precise with the rifle and also allows them to engage targets that would otherwise be too far away to engage.

It does, however, cause the users vision to become even more tunneled, and therefore even more oblivious to threats outside the scopes vision. Because of this disadvantage, the DysTek is best used in conjunction with the APM mines, which can be placed around the sniper's position to prevent them from being flanked.
