The Dual Zoom functionality works by using the same button for the Melee. Check your settings in the game to know exactly which is your Melee Button on the keybinding for non-vehicle classes. That button used while scoping is what triggers the dual zoom. You can test it with Phasma too, as her weapon also has a dual zoom functionality
Wow that was it.. before I would just use my middle button for zoom. I don't know what changed. But thanks for your help!!!
I'm glad I could help!
I am having this same issue on the PC version, except I'm using a controller. The mouse wheel button works the Dual Zoom functionality as intended, using the melee button (Right Stick Click by default) while zoomed into my scope also works but ONLY in the Default Buttons layout mode.
As many pro players have recommended, I have seen NIGHT and DAY differences in my performance while using the Alternate Buttons layout and refuse to go back to the default layout.
On the console version of the game (I previously have played on PS4 for years) Alternate Buttons layout works perfectly, swapping the Roll/Crouch default (Circle) button with the Melee/Dual Zoom default (RS Click) button... However, on the PC version, using the Alternate Buttons layout ONLY swaps the Roll/Crouch functionality with the Melee functionality... while Dual Zoom remains bound to it's (RS Click) default.
In practice, this means that when aiming down your scope, the Melee button (which is now bound to Circle and SHOULD perform the Dual Zoom toggle whilst zoomed) now does nothing... which means the game DOES recognize that you are aiming and it needs to disable the Melee action... but fails to recognize that it should instead switch to the Dual Zoom action.
Instead, in order to trigger Dual Zoom, you STILL have to use it's original default (RS) button... which is now also bound to the Crouch/Roll action... an action that is still VERY much functional while zoomed down your sights.
So depending on whether you perform a quick or long press of the RS button, your character will toggle the Dual Zoom function AND either Crouch/Stand up or Dodge Roll SIMULTANEOUSLY... I don't have to tell you how much that breaks the game from a Specialist's gameplay perspective if you use the Alternate Buttons controller layout.
THIS. I can’t dual zoom while playing on alternative button controls on controller. Very frustrating. Did you find a workaround??
