Changes: Rifle Scope

Revision as of 20:42, 27 July 2012

Not to be confused with the 4X Rifle Scope

The Rifle Scope is an attachment featured in Battlefield 3. Two versions of the scope, the 6x and 8x, are unlockable for use with most of the weapons in the game - save for pistols, most PDWs, and belt-fed light machine guns.

The 8x version is reserved for sniper rifles and the 6x version is available for every other weapon class. The scope itself appears to be based on an amalgam of various Barska and ZOS sniper scopes, with no definitive model used in-game.

The Rifle Scope is the US equivalent of the Russian PKS-07. The difference between the two is that the Rifle Scope has two zoom levels depending on the weapon, and the PKS-07 has a 7x zoom for all weapons.

Rifle Scope (6x)

"A high magnification 6x scope available for most rifles, the Rifle Scope can be steadied by holding the sprint button when aimed, or by using a Bipod, but can reveal your position when aimed at enemies."

— Battlelog description

In Battlefield 3, the Rifle Scope is an unlockable weapon attachment available for all weapons in the primary slot.

Th version is able to be mounted on any weapon except for belt fed LMGs, sniper rifles (which use the 8x scope) and handguns.

While aiming, this scope, unlike the slightly weaker ACOG and PSO-1 scopes, can be steadied by holding the sprint button, or by deploying the weapon on a bipod. However, being a high power scope, it will give off scope glint.

Rifle Scope (8x)

"A high magnification 8x scope available for sniper rifles, the Rifle Scope can be steadied by holding the sprint button when aimed, or by using a Bipod, but can reveal your position when aimed at enemies."

— Battlelog description

This scope can be mounted on any sniper rifle. It functions exactly the same as the 6x scope, but has a larger zoom.
