Summarize your bug When using sniper scopes 8x, the magnification doesn't work. Scope needs to be replaced with iron sights in game then switched back to scope in order for proper magnification to be reached. Magnification will result back to iron sights level after sprinting and require to switch to iron sights THEN back to scope in order to get any sort of zoom.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have iron sights be the default sight with the 8x scope right above it in the menu. When the scope is attached the zoom level will be that of iron sights and will stay like that until the scope is removed in game menu. Once the scope is reattached the zoom will then work but will revert to standard iron sight zoom after sprinting or respawn.
What happens when the bug occurs? Read the summary. The damn scope zoom doesn't work
What should be happening instead? you tell me. Should an 8 power scope have the same zoom level as iron sights? I don't think so.

Scope does not magnify properly

  • Happening also on PS5. 

    For PS5 it's also for 6x and 4x scope.

    Can be reproduced when attempting to aim via scope from behind a cover. Sometimes it happenes on the field in the open. 

  • Happening for me on PC too. It happens with every scope. If you switch weapons, use gadgets or equipment, or anything else, it happens. The only way I've found to fix it is to switch sights then switch back.
