Let's Talk Sniper Glint Below 5x Scopes
The Problem I was playing earlier today and got shot pretty handily by another sniper I was battling, through black smoke on Blackwell, trying to countersnipe. The sniper had their own glint. But, I...

I was going to test iron sights today, that would be absolutely ludicrous iron sights have glint.
Can you test DMRs...I'll just hang up my M2010 if it always has glint and only use my SVK if it doesn't.
Reddit has tested this issue and they say, and I agree, that DMR weapons have no glint at all. Nor do any other weapons except sniper rifles.
This means that, the SVK (and other DMR weapons) with a long scope and suppressor will be virtually undetectable.
The only thing that you may want to do for stability (since only the sniper rifles are used with steady aim) is to put the bipod on the weapon to stop the movement.
The SVK is a hard-hitting, long range semi-automatic and for all intents and purposes it is a sniper rifle. A very good weapon and it will have no scope glint.
You will notice, for example, that only sniper rifles will have the Anti-Glare optic accessory. And they are the only ones that need it.
One other point, I recently received the Mini Scout "Golden Valor" rifle. Not only is it beautiful with lots of gold highlights but it will reload a shell almost as rapidly as a semi-auto rifle while looking down the scope.
If you miss the headshot, you will be able to do several follow-up shots rapidly. It does have scope glint therefore you should use the anti-glare optic with it but for some reason that I don't understand the rifle seems to mostly go unnoticed by other snipers. At least it seems so to me.
Good to have confirmation. Already switch my M2010 recon build to a Shotgun; SVK will be my long-range weapon from now on (pretty much had been anyway).
