On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 11-12-2021 at 2am
Summarize your bug Somehow the 6x sniper scope switched magnification from 6x to 1.25x, no key binding to switch back. The only way to get 6x back is to switch to iron sights and back to scope
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? use sniper scope and wait for it to change magnification
What happens when the bug occurs? scope switches magnification from 6x to 1.25x. cross hairs are still visible, almost as if the scope has variable magnification. but no key binding to switch back and forth.
What should be happening instead? it should be 6x all the time or use key binding to switch it.

here is my screen shots of the same location but different magnifications.

    Same exact issue. On PS5. I thought I was going mad for a second until I clipped it haha.

    Can be reproduced 10/10 by using melee attack key first and then the scope

    I found swapping between other optics and back sorted it when it happens but it's not ideal...

    I've found that it happens when switching to a gadget like the Recoilless M5 and then switching back to the sniper and it also happens after you ADS with the G57 pistol, not sure about any others though.

    Were you playing as the Falck specialist?

    If yes, try using another specialist.

    From what I can tell, it switches to 1.25 whenever you switch to any equipment, or at the very least that seems to be a more consistent trigger for jt. Coming in and out of ADS seems to trigger it only rarely.

    Have been using Casper. Same effect. I dont think its tied to the specialist, seems to be more tied to equipment.
