Re: 6x zoom for sniper becomes 1x zoom

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.

    Thank you for the tip, yep, I was using the bipod underbarrel attachment.

    I also use Maria Falck. It's all adding up now. 

    Thanks!

    Yeah happens to me too with the first sniper and undervarrel stand. Switching for another scope and back fixes this but not optimal in a firefoght

    @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 Just played a game and didn't even have Bipod active in inventory and still does it from new match even starting and just no option to zoom. Not sure but don't think Bipod is culprit something else is triggering it.
