The 8x Zoom Scope is a weapon attachment that allows players to right-click to zoom in when applied to a gun’s scope slot. This added visual range helps players take longer-range shots at further away targets or are using cover at a distance.
You cannot craft the 8x Zoom Scope, and it is only available from Elite crates or crates that require you to fight powerful NPCs such as the Patrol Helicopter or APC Bradley, or Heavy Scientists.
Using the 8x Zoom Scope will limit your peripheral vision, and while the scope reduces recoil, you will be affected by recoil more substantially while looking through the scope.
Due to these changes, it is not good to use the 8x Zoom Scope on automatic or short-range weapons.
The 8x Zoom Scope will find the most value applied to slower firing, higher damage weapons, such as the Bolt Action Rifle, M249, and the L96 Sniper Rifle.
