The scope glint changes caused several issues

One of my favorite BF youtubers made a video about it and I wanted to spread the word.

Scope Glint & Proximity Spotting are completely broken in Battlefield 2042 - YouTube

>Even though the x4 scopes got scope glint (for some weird reason) , the scopes that have variable zoom or canted sights that reach or surpass x4 do not (ghost hybrid 1.5-4 + target 8T 1.25-4.5).

> Due to some bug Scope glint can be "toggled" off by toggling off the unberbarrels like laser sights from the guns

>ADSing with a toggled underbarrel gives glint

>Having a scope that glints on the RM68 will also make the canted iron sights it has to glint as well...

Please just get the glints back how they were before season 5 and most people will be happy and we will have less bugs and inconsistencies

    @UP_Hawxxeye First I believe they should switch to a greater than 4x gets glare model.
    The glare should also listed as a disadvantage on the scope, when you compare it in the collection.
    Can we assume a similar time frame to fix this issue like the frequent fixes for the "can't aim down sight issue"?

    In this game scope glint doesn’t matter that much considering you’re probably already spotted by one of the trillion gadgets etc. that does this.

    @VOLBANKER_PC But the scope glint makes it so much easier to locate my targets when I counter snipe. I usually spot without gadgets, so that is an issue. But I assure you Blasco with a glinting scope is much easier to track, than without 😉

    @kregora Scope glint is visible through smoke too. The other day I took out a sniper with my Lissile through smoke because he was ADS’ing and thus giving away scope glint. So I could “see” him through the smoke but he couldn’t see me 🙂

    @UP_HawxxeyeAdding a glint to a 4x is beyond my comprehension. Just not a good decision.

    I class both the changes to the scope glint and the APS nerf in season 5 on the same level of pure foolishness as the BTK changes in BFV
