Scope customization

[vernal whale]

A third or fourth option in the paints menu where scopes applied to that weapon will use the applied paint and multiple reticle choices for each scope as a means of customizing them.

A second sight slot just for equipping tritium sights alongside the regular scope, this doesn't need to be added to the radial menu options. Please also consider a weight reduction to the tritium sights (they can't possibly weigh as much as a regular scope)

Attach the reticle to the weapon so you could have a scope with a unique color and reticle on one weapon but the same type of scope on another weapon could be very different and use the same skeleton

Edit: it's been a bit more than 5 years and scopes have not changed at all, engine limits and draw distance aside, things could be done
Specifically, new scopes in between the ranges of what we have available. 2-6 rifle scopes are popular for thicker woods (90% of Emerald coast), a 3-9 for basic shooting, a 6-12 for longer ranges since the argus is miserable to use. NONE OF THEM NEED MIL-DOTS
A choice of how its mounted would be nice too, I'll be posting a new suggestion with this idea in mind soon

[potent ocean]

Full support on this!
And maybe a new scope dlc pack on the horizon?? 🤩

[vernal whale]

please double check i had to change it

[potent ocean]

ok thanks for informing me that the OP was changed. I still support the suggestion.

Maybe consider separating the lines into paragraphs for easier reading, otherwise no objections.

[vernal whale]

I would love to see a few varmint style reticles, a good Heavy plex reticle (i'd pair it with the 1-4 scope with the .300/.338 for dangerous game up close lol) maybe the reticles from the lever action/muzzleloader scopes could be nice too

[grizzled bough]

I could get onboard with this. I would like a historically accurate PU Scope for the Mosin as well

[prisma mortar]

A close side mounted scope would be amazing

And to paint them is a much needed thing

Just since we use the say scope for 4 guns sometimes might be a pain with matching colors

[vernal whale]

That's true, but it'd still be cool though

[prisma mortar]

Oh yes

[vernal whale]

Two scopes I can think of I'd like to see added are a 2-7 scope for the shotgun and handguns, and a 3x9 for rifles. Maybe for a proper scope pack add a rangefinder scope like the 8-16 in game

[mint breach]

I would like to see a 6-24 zoom scope as well.

[fluid cloud]

Regarding the customisation/paints suggestion, it would be cool if we could use all the different paints that we have for not only our weapons and scopes, but for the ATV, backpacks, clothes, tripods, tents etc...

[feral stratus]

and if this pack may come to life then imo there has to be atleast 3-4optics because if there is somthing like something goes to mosin or lever action rifle and to a pistol then we would definetly want somthing more to put on our normal bolt action or so rifles. I respect the fact they would want to divide them among the arms and thats really fair to do so. But some kind of customization has to come with it also

[vernal whale]

Maybe a scope for each class of weapon, but two for rifles?

[feral stratus]

@vernal whale yes something like that

[vernal whale]

Then the issue is what magnification for each of them

[feral stratus]

@vernal whale with the optic also come the animal render distance because there is not a point to add a high power optic with huge magnification when there is not even a chance to shoot with it in long range

[naive orbit]

We could get scopes for all the ranges inbetween the starter scope and the Argus

[vernal whale]

Like a fixed 6 power, a 2-7, a 6-12, a 3-9, A lever action 2-7/3-9, a shotgun 2-7, a handgun fixed 6/4 and 2-7?

[naive orbit]

I personally would really like a scope that’s inbetween the Argus and Hyperion. Perhaps a 6x - 12x scope since I believe the Argus goes straight up to 16x

[vernal whale]

Hyperion is 4-8, and argus 8-16 i think

[feral stratus]

Agree, that can solve the problem basically 150m+ ranges every day no prob.

[prisma mortar]

A 3x9 is my dream scope for this game

[mint breach]

Have a LPO scope that's 1-6, 1-8, and 1-10

[naive orbit]

I wanna see more reticles

[vernal whale]

I'd like to see options for simpler reticles like Duplex and German num 4

[grizzled bough]

I would love that. They should also make the tritium sights weigh less than a scope so as to encourage them to be used.

[feral stratus]

Definetly, biggest wish with the optics right now

[potent ocean]

One of the reticles from my Scope DLC thread, I'll just dump it here if that's ok?

[vernal whale]

Oh yeah, if you have any reticles you like go ahead and post them here. more options are always better

[feral stratus]

Some ideas with the reticle customization that would fit the optics well

I use the 4A-300-I irl and thats a very good reticle always gets the job done, doest matter if its a bird hunt, boar hunt or moose hunt.

[vernal whale]

Sorry folks, slight edit to the OP, still any ideas welcome

[vernal whale]

So, I saw this posted in another thread, an idea to use the drilling scope for the .470 double barrel, i think it's too big for the .470 (as in the zoom) because the .470 is mean for short range dangerous game. That said, a scope pack bringing a purpose built 2-6 scope designed specifically for .470 would be really nice, i'd love a heavy plex/ German reticle for it or at least a post with an illuminated triangle a bit like a Trijicon Accupoint 1-6 scope

[mint breach]

Thank you for looking at my post. I would love a scope for the 470.

[vernal whale]

NP, we kinda desperately need new scopes if for no other reason than variety

[mint breach]

A 3-9 scope for all the rifles would be nice.

[mint breach]

I would gladly give up another weapon pack for a DLC of 4-5 new scopes. Plus skins for them and let us decorate them

[vernal whale]

I think six scopes would be realy nice. one for LAs, two for regular rifles, a .470 scope, a new shotgun scope with a little like 3-9 or so, and a pistol scope that's 4-8

[feral stratus]

Im thinking that if this would be a pack then do a combo with that pack like a optics and supressors pack

[vernal whale]

i would love an optics pack with a couple new binos, a spotting scope, and a few scopes

[feral stratus]

Very intresting stuff would contain the pack then. If they decide to make a spotting scope a thing then it should be like 3-5x better than the normal binos

[vernal whale]

Wanted to add this, as a secondary to the lever action rifle scope. A 2-6 scope mounted forward of the action in the same way as scopes mount onto the M1 or Mosin. it can use the same reticle as the original.

[vernal whale]

Also consider a muzzleloader specific scope for NEM's modern inline that accounts for it's range and bullet drop specificly

[vernal whale]

Can we consider updating the marksman exact sight (the little red dot on the .470) to work with the Norden 20ga semi-auto shotgun from the Duck and Cover pack?

[frozen yacht]

Bump!

[vernal whale]

Forgot this was even a thing lol, stil would love to have it tho

[mossy nymph]

How do you have so many great ideas

[vernal whale]

Huh?

I think too much, most of my ideas are crappy, I'm just glad some are acceptable to society

[prisma mortar]

Lol

[vernal whale]

Gotta say, I'm surprised this got so much attention, happy you guys like it tho

[vernal whale]

C'mon EW, please give us new optics!

[vernal whale]

bump

[vernal whale]

bump again

[exotic glen]

We really need new optics

[mossy nymph]

At this point I’d take anything new

[vernal whale]

added a couple things in the OP

[unborn field]

bump

[abstract monolith]

Bump

[vernal whale]

For some reason this came up in my feedback thing again, still think this is a pretty solid idea since scopes are still very basic and lacking a lot of options that just make sense. some new reticles, paint, and magnification options would make an enormous difference in the way the game plays.

Personal example: I love the look of the Ranger 1-4 on the Moradi, HOWEVER, give me the option (for a price obviously) to make it a 2-7 with a German #4 reticle and the same metal color option that i use on the Moradi and suddenly that's my perfect rifle. it won't take much to make what we have incredible.
