BF6 snipers scopes inaccurate since April 2026 update

AI Overview

Based on player reports following recent updates, including the April 14, 2026, patch (1.000.018), sniper scope accuracy and performance have become highly inconsistent, with many users reporting that shots do not land where aimed. This issue is most frequently reported on classes other than Recon, suggesting an intentional or buggy restriction where only the Recon class operates with full accuracy, while other classes experience significant bullet spread. 

Key Issues Since Recent Updates:

Class Restriction: Players report that using snipers with classes other than Recon results in extreme inaccuracy, regardless of aim.

Failed Shots: Even when using Recon, players report that shots which should land often do not, particularly when quick-scoping or dragging, suggesting an issue with ADS (Aim Down Sight) timing.

Inconsistent Visuals: The 4.5x and higher magnification scopes have been reported to exhibit a dual-render, "picture-in-picture" issue, where the center of the scope is more zoomed in than the surrounding area, causing players to aim at a false location.

Increased Scope Sway: Recent updates appear to have replaced accuracy penalties with significantly increased scope sway, making tracking targets difficult.

Got that after asking google.... cus the on the last 3 games I have played as sniper shots didnt hit anything from like 90m using the SV-98 and that never normally misses. 

It feels like something has changed for sniping scopes? Has anybody else seen or feels like something has changed? 

Kind Regards,
