Same thing happened to me on PS 5. Had to switch to a different scope > ADS and then switch back to 6X to get it working normally.

Same thing happened to me on Series X last night. While it still didn't stop me from being a force on the battlefield at both short and long range, it did result in some minor confusion when I toggled back for a soon to be long range headshot. Brought this up to others on the Battlefield community team this morning to flag down, thank you for posting this and keep up the good work fellow snipers.
- @EA_Blueberry The issue is caused mainly by using the bipod underbarrel attachment. Whenever you have that, switching to anything else and back to your sniper rifle, it'll bug out to a 1x zoom.
So, for now, it's best to remove the bipod attachment to circumvent the issue or switch sights & back to restore it temporarily.- EA_Blueberry

I also use Maria Falck. It's all adding up now.
Thanks!I've also experienced this issue after using Mackay's grapple gun.
- @EA_Blueberry This has been happening to me since still and it does get annoying as there is no way around to get it to work in game again. Have you gotten any insight on when this will get fixed?

@LBCdirtyD
The team is still aware of this. Specific time and date of a fix is not really known, but we're hopeful they'll get this addressed. Experienced this myself at random times so I know it can be frustrating if it causes death. Thanks for sticking it out for us.The current workaround to avoid this: Don't use the bipod attachment
- @EA_Blueberry Thanks for the reply and look forward to it being fixed hope sooner than later 🙂 Enjoying 2042 even tho it was missing tons of stuff at launch..Have always loved BF series since 1942
