Do you think a proper scope would ruin this game ect?
I personally think they need to add one cos the holo sight is pretty terrible the sway doesn't bother me in the slightest but i would atleast like to some sort of proper scope x8 maybe
and i have no problem with being shot at from long range with a sniper i think it would add a good factor to this game
I think a scope that fit a certain weapon type would be awesome personally. Snipers in the mountains would be legit and freaky knowing someone could be watching you. An 8x scope would be pretty sweet in my opinion, granted it would only fit on certain styles of weapons.
right now this game doesn't need a "Sniper Rifle". Maybe later, I wouldn't rule it out. But please, dear lord. Not now.
It already has a "Sniper Rifle" if you class the bolt action as one, but it's sort of terrible at the moment because of the holo sight. i'd like to see a proper scope added in the future

But yeah eagle i agree only on certain weapons :D

The only thing that "Saves" the bolt action from being a sniper rifle is that it's wavy as hell. Shoot I'd love to see them include how crouching steadies your aim. But we leave that "for the future".
Yeah that's not so important at the moment, But i've killed afew people with the Bolt action i really like it it's just ridiculous to use at really long range D:

That's your bad, but you can block it up with a wood barrier.
Snipers will be a stupid factor because people will just camp on their 10x10 house, shooting poor innocents that have just spawned. It will be days all over again!
An ACOG would do it justice. People don't understand that a scope is what makes the gun useful. What's the point of adding it if garry didn't plan on giving it any use? Its intent is to camp.
Sniper rifle scope is a must have in my opinion but also a tripod. They are testing weapon sway and recover after firing. Thisll be cool if they added these things. The only thing I ask is they add a lay down function instead of just crouching. Shit would be so cash

Or they'll be up in the rocks, watching the road. You get shot at while harvesting, run for cover and clear the area. The resources are going to get spread out more, the usable map is getting expanded....this game needs longer ranged combat to provide more options of what players want to do in a map this size.
This is why we need forest areas and tall grass areas(Forest as in dense with close and tall trees).

i understan yeah
but they need to add prone 2 then to make good use out off you tripod
i can see a scope being added if it costs alot of low quality metal, and its a shitty 2d render scope that doesn't go that far, so more like an acog scope.
8x is FAR too much for this game, at most I would like to see a 2x or 4x attachment for the guns but nothing more or else the game would degenerate into packs of snipers poppin' n00bs from nowhere. I am all for getting kitted out and tormenting people but adding "sniper" rifles into the game would make things too easy.
Edit:
Also to be more in keeping with the feel of Rust any scopes should be extremely rudimentary, half a broken pair of binoculars taped to the rifle or two rough lenses attached to an old bit of pipe. There wouldn't just be scopes sitting around waiting to be attached to our weapons but I like the idea of fashioning ones ourselves out of old scrap.
Have a home made reflex scope? You get a piece of glass and a marker and you paint a small dot in the centre of the glass then you fix it to your scrap gun with duct tape.
However
Snipers as of right now. Hell no! In the future? Definitely! The servers are laggy, the players are laggy and resources need to be spread out more so you don't have 1 area of value that a 5 man gang dominates and halts progress for the rest of the players on the server.

So kinda like that forest that's already in the game?

The main problem with the grass that is in the game at the moment is that most people turn it off for a performance boost and as such I have to turn it off so I'm not trying to hide in cover that isn't there for everyone. I hope as this game becomes more optimised that things like the grass will be forced on and not be able to be turned off so we can have a bit more cover.
I think the range of the weapons is enough as it is. It's hard enough to flee a well armed player when they start shooting you while you have a rock.
Im pretty optimistic that there will be some "sight?" attachment sooner or later for the scope. I wouldn't prefer a hyper 12x zoom of doom. Maybe a 4x Acog, that sounds fair to me.
How about they just add an auto-aiming scope in the game? They can get their inspiration from Tracking Point.
Interestingly Scary documentary on this company that created a real auto-aiming scope

Yes!!! Even though the KoS is out of control as it is and a8x scope would make it 100x worse but it would be nice to have that guy in the mountains watching your back as you loot.
A scope would be fine, just keep the range of the gun the same
Which would do nothing besides improve visibility, so yes a zoomed scope for the bolt action would be fine
If they add a scope, the bolt action CANNOT be a 1 hit kill, because atm it takes 1 nice placed shot either to the head or to the upper chest to kill someone who has no armour
Here's the problem with a scope:
The game runs hit-scan, which means if your crosshair is placed on the target when you click, you will hit. This makes hitting someone incredibly easy when compared to games with bullet physics / weapon inaccuracy. To compensate for this, targets are usually small except at close range, recoil is very large, and the guns have a large sway.
If a scope was added, this would take away the first compensation mechanic, making the targets relatively big compared to your crosshair. This would create a gameplay element that would be imbalanced with respect to the other guns.
a home made 2x scope would be nice as long as its rustic
Change the ammo for sniper rifle to a different caliber say 50? At some point I would like to see more than a workbench, Id like to see some equipment that requires a power source. Mill/Lathe/call it an advanced workstation. Refined gun powder/black powder. Glass Resources, Untreated metal decay. weapon jamming. I agree though right now snipers would be op, especially if the ammo is so common. 50 cal should stack in 10s and cost as much as a stack of 9s " I think thats being light too"

I say yes as long as its "rusty" Meaning dirty optics, somewhat distorted view

I Agree. As long at there's something that will balance out the effects of adding a scope like suggested above, Id want a scope added.
