Scope Glint needs to go.
Honestly, the claim that scope glint is the only way to balance scoped weapons in gameplay is a lazy excuse for an equally lazy mechanic that effectively not only punishes players for using a scoped ...

Did some testing with an enemy player on how glint handles.
It seems all scopes/sights have glint at the moment, though I'm assuming this is a bug. However, glint on the 1x, 3x, 4x, and 5x (that's what I managed to test before the game ended) have no glint under 100 meters or so. I have seen glints at closer ranges than this, and assume that some scopes (maybe the 6x?) have glint below 100 meters.
I've managed some silly games with a 4x, CQB suppressor and the DLC bolt. Paired with the fatal headshot, you can be an absolute menace, even on the smaller maps. From memory I managed to top around 40 kills on Iberian with this setup, and it feels quite busted if I'm honest.
Have you seen a big difference with the glint reduction coating? or was that not something you could check?
Whoops, sorry for the late reply. This one was difficult to check without someone else recording unfortunately, as from the description it only reduces the angle of scope glint, not intensity. So you'd need to zoom in on a player and try and determine the approximate rotation when the glint dissapears, or do a side/side comparison. Not something I had the means to do, sorry.
So simmilar testing that I did. I really hate that they put glint on even the basic scopes like HOLO/GAMA/REFLEX - those scopes should never ever have glint. This is totally stupid to put glint on those basic and very low zoom scopes. It was never the case in old BFs games.
I was mainly running around with that 3x scope and 2.5x scope. And I can tell you it has glint for sure. As soon as I ADS I was shoot by all guys.
You are saying that those 5x and lower does not have glint below 100m ? Can not confirm it. They guy I was testing either was far away or did not tell me that he can not see any glint under 100m :( . Hmm that is nice but still the 4x and below should not have glint at all from any range. Again should be like in old BF games. Or if they want they can keep teh glint on 4x as they lately changed the 4x glint inBF2042 which I hate a lot as this was my main scope sicne BF2 days. So I can somehow accept it for BF6 but I hope they will remove that glint on 3x and 2,5x and for sure for those GAMA/REFLEX/HOLO scopes.
Honestly with how ridiculous a reflect sight having glint is, I figure this is an oversight or bug. I cannot imagine this is an intended feature.
