Adjustable Zoom Scope

[DominateEye]

Hey all,

 

I hate using scopes and sights in Fallout 4, aside from the Reflex Sight, because when I'm using my primary weapon for long-range shooting and somebody comes up to me, I have no option to iron-sight aim at them without the scope becoming active and suddenly I'm studying the specks of dirt on the buckles of their armour, which throws my sense of direction off, means I miss more, and just generally annoys me. The Reflex Sight gives me good mid-range zooming (in my opinion, or IMO as the cool kids say) while also not being so zoomed in that I can't deal with things right in front of me, but sometimes I want to make a long range shot and I miss four or five times because I'm too zoomed out to hit the target.

 

Other games that have a heavy focus on first-person shooting have scopes with adjustable zoom levels. I would like a mod that adds this into Fallout 4. If you'd like some starting ideas, every weapon that could have a scope should be able to have this adjustable scope on it as well. I'd be fine if it costs considerably more materials than all other scopes (might I suggest the highest cost of any current scope plus half as a starting point? It could be higher, do what you think you need to to retain game balance) and is likewise with its cap value. I'd appreciate if the levels can go from 0.25x magnification (effectively Iron Sight aiming) to the highest magnification available on any other scope.

 

If you want to make any changes to those concepts, go ahead, I'll still use it because it's miles better than a non-adjustable scope any day. If you decide to pick this idea up, thank you so much!

It may not have everything you're looking for, like adjusting the magnification.

I think for now it is the closest there is.

This request is purely about a scope with adjustable modification. Thanks for suggesting, but that mod doesn't fit my needs.

yw, but I know what you mean.

It works great when I surprise them. Not so well when they are moving at me.

There was an adjustable zoom scopes mod for fallout new vegas, which is (mostly) the same game engine as Fallout 4. So I'm sure it's possible, just someone has to actually do it. Sorry for digging up an old thread but this is the first result on google for "Fallout 4 adjustable zoom scope" and I wanted to add that someone else had done it. The FONV adjustable zoom scope mod was removed from the nexus because it made FONV terribly unstable with crashes to desktop frequently. But it did work, most of the time. I still have a copy of the original.

Goid idea but, zoomable seems like it would be slower for situations where enemies suddenly appear. Thats kinda why side arms are good.. Maybe something like an angled iron sight like Ive seen in fps games like BF1. Starting with hunting and combat rifles.

 

Zoomable might be cool to have something like it tggles between 4,8,12 times magnification, but an injestable toggle that is used while weapon is lowered. Making an actual zoom would be much harder.
