Higher magnification optics

[Adropkickmidget]

Hey, I was wondering why there are no high magnification optics available anywhere? I think it limits some aspects of gameplay as a rebel. For example, if a rebel decided to be a dick and terrorize a city he could pick up an m14 and a nice scope and terrorize a city on his/her own. On the other side of that coin, a police officer who wants to provide real time intel to a swat team working a hostage rescue, he is limited to binoculars which prevent him from providing fire support. 

 

I think not having these scopes limit players to only playing things close up. Personally, in other games (namely wasteland) I never engage anything within 800 meters and I'm sure some others can say the same. 

Is there any way to make some of these available. But perhaps make them more expensive?

Have fun initiating at 800 meters away

It's an RP server , there isn't much roleplay in shooting someone from that far and them never even seeing you or having a chance to even comply with initiation. I think the scope magnification is good where it's at now.

nothing says RP like a 25x zoom scope - @Sneaky

 

Seriously tho, sniping is fucking boring

How do you plan to initiate hostile RP with all these people? KOTH and Wasteland are great to do what you want.

SWAT Officers get a Rangefinder (increased zoom). If recon is in the pick, they get a drone. Sgt+ also have drones (which have thermals).

You don't need to initiate if they are red to you, or they are in a red area.
You can also have a friend close to your target, or just send texts

I think people would get rather irritated when getting sniped WITH EASE at 800km. It's being done already, but you really have to be skilled. The risk is not worth the reward IMHO..

You can still hit 1k+ shots with the scopes that are on Asylum now especially with a 7.62. I hit one the other day with an MXM. It requires skills other than making a mark on the map and putting your scope up to the distance and having a zoom so powerful you can look into their fucking eyes before you shoot lol.

I bet you are one of those gay lords on king of the hill that sit a click out with a lynx and shoot everyone that peeks over the towers

A) that's why I said for rebels and police in situations that don't require initiating like illegal zones or clearly hostile targets

B ) I said wasteland, and yeah I am. You're a lot harder to kill when nobody can hear the bullet because you're too far away.

A) that's gonna make the asylum combat so boring, it's boring enough with the quick peak wars. And you say only those situation, but they will be used in every scenarios 

b ) not really. Zero in your scope to 1200m, 1 shot kill to the toe with that lynx and it's not really any different from shooting from 150m

High mag scopes would be hilarious.

Donor rebel would be a sniper's nest. Nowhere at OG arms would be safe.

Already doing that with the x2 scopes we have..

Besides wouldn't higher magnification scopes include zeroing? That would change everything..
