So why are digital threats not allowed on rifles and lmgs?

I feel like all the best weapons have access to this attachment, I don't this attachment is making them the best weapons but I do question the balance reasoning, if everyone's gonna use an r-99 why also give it the digital threat and leave something like the r-301 to feel like a side grade? Someone gonna say those weapons are for longer ranges but past a certain distance you either want a sniper or you just avoid a fight till you can push in (most people will probably just push in snipers are dead) Most people keep a shotgun which all can use the attachment, most people end the game with a sub machine gun which all can use the attachment so I just wanna know the balance reason to limit the use of that attachment, I mean it's also a one time sight.

  • There's no way a 4-10x belongs on anything but a sniper rifle.  But the G7 got changed so, yeah, that would be OP. 

    It has to be 2-4x or 3x at most and really should only be a late game drop.  Even if it's rare, if you find it early, that'd be pretty exceptional.

    @BaldWraithSimp  Yeah I do get that, I'm basically a bang main these days lol. With the frequency of KC in the rotation and the frequency of 1x digi though you're really not any worse off with the implementation of a 2-4x digi as most fights are CQC anyway. Plus let's be honest...how many people do you see actually using a 2-4x on an AR anyway. 😛

    WE would be a little more sketchy I'll admit.

    @hayhorThe issue is that the digital threat sniper is just too much zoom for this game. It's really only useful at long ranges. I won't pick it up gold guns, I dislike the sniping digital threat that much. I would rather have a 1x-2x until I find a 2x-4x on a long bow without ANY attachments on it, then deal with that sniping digital threat optic. There are no digital threats for mid range. While I would love it, I use the 2x-4x and 3x a lot. It would be extremely over powering. I don't miss many shots when I snipe if you can't get to cover before I can fire off 2-3 shots you're probably going to get knocked. You throw a digital threat on top of that and it will make things that much easier.

  • @S_Dustt I mean people run 1 times on these weapons as well and arguing that theyre for cqc isn't really the best because people still use the wingman with it and that thing is basically the best sniper in the game lol even if it's a pistol.
  • I run 1 times or 1-2 times on LMG's. Also we have already seen it on the L-STAR when it was a care package weapon so...
