Red Mist SWS-10 weapon skin alters reticle of 6X scope

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:Xbox Series X
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen? Every server
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Sometime in season 2
Summarize your bug The Red Mist skin changes the appearance of the 6X scope reticle on the SWS-10
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Equip the Red Mist skin on the SWS-10 sniper rifle 2. Use the 6X sniper scope on the SWS-10 3. Aim down sights while using the SWS-10 with the Red Mist skin and 6X scope
What happens when the bug occurs? The regular 6X scope reticle is changed and makes sniping more difficult
What should be happening instead? The reticle should not change with the skin. It should stay as the red cross

 While only cosmetic, the "Red Mist" skin for the SWS-10 sniper rifle alters the appearance of the 6X sniper scope reticle, making it harder to use in my opinion. The foliage on the scope isn't my issue, but rather the changed crosshair while using this scope. Normally the 6X sniper scope has a red cross with small widgets across the crosshair itself. The red cross and widgets are not present on the Red Mist reticle however, which seems quite pay to lose in my opinion. Can you please make the reticle of the 6X scope the normal reticle when using the Red Mist skin?

  • @matthewusf200 I actually think the opposite to you.
    Firstly, most weapon skins also come with a “unique” scope. This can vary in appearance and/ or reticle design.

    I’m actually relieved that we can have the x6 scope reticle as it was originally.
    I hate the stupid red cross they added to the x6 scope.
    It obscures the target your shooting at.
  • as @creepnpeep said, not a bug, this is by design. Some skins have custom reticles and some complete different assets for a particular sight.
