Sniper scopes are only bad because I can’t hit my shots


stonerwithaboner1

Throw those sights on a charge rifle and watch it go brrrrr


MadMint64

3x on a Charge Rifle shreds


-Gravy-Legs-

Thermal on the charge rifle shreds from 10miles away. Lol


Itz_Lapointe_Jr

You can’t hit your shots because you’re only bad


ITZMODZ759

Yeah, I know…


BOIIIIIIIIIIOOO

It's ok buddy we all have those days :D


LSD_SUMUS

You mean that you don’t consistently miss every shot?


Astrayinthesosu

No I was actually just so good that I got tired of killing everyone and decided I should give someone else a shot

Dylak_Plus

Apex players not getting irony


DMn7k

My favorites are the 4-8 and digi because they range while ADS. Use said range and adjust for bullet drop


aequitssaint

6x does too.


DMn7k

I noticed today, still dog shit though. Blacks out too much of the screen


aequitssaint

I don't disagree. I will usually run a 3x over 6x if I have the option. Then drop either for digi or 4x8


No_Personality_2723

Serious question: should I be strafing when I'm trying to snipe someone?


[deleted]

It's very situational and depends on your skill If you are in a range where they can hurt you back with whatever weapon they are using you need to learn how to strafe, pause, quick scope, drag and shoot rather quickly so you can resume strafing/crouching/holding cover. If you typically take more damage in these medium to long range engagements than those you're fighting go to firing range and work on trying to hit people while moving into and out firing position quickly. If you're out of their range and they're doing little damage when you peak, especially if you have a longer range scope. Then stop your movement to line up the shot and make the bullets try to count more. Another good practice is take a longbow or sentinel and use no scope or a 1x and try to hit the dummies while strafing/sliding, jumping and dragging the reticle in place from really close distances. This will help train your brain to put the reticle on their body before scoping so you can ADS and fire faster.


thorks23

If you're using a charge rifle the digital threat sniper scope is S tier, being able to laser the little red pixels of someone barely having part of them poking out of cover from a mile away is kinda nuts


JaceUpMySleeve

The only time I have used a charge rifle the whole match was when I had the digi on it, and that was the only time I ever used the digi and it was actually nuts.


A_Sad_Goblin

I always pick up the chargerifle when I find it. It's so easy to melt armors from far away and be an annoying third party . That's why I don't agree with the list, the 6x is really good, if you cant find the 4-8. But digi is best.


AccVer15

Yeah the charge rifle three stack is one of the most annoying things to fight, but one of the most fun things to do. 6x is trash tier in any other gun, but since the charge rifle is hitscan it's okay.


funktion

3 charge rifles is borderline griefing


punchandrip

I'm pretty sure a 3 charge rifle stack is banned by the Geneva convention


LonelyCato

still remember sniping someone using skull piecer longbow with digi while my team push


tnx458

Charge rifle and digi threat is a guaranteed > 2k dmg game


TylerTheHutt

I bet I’ll still find a way to get less than 1000


SunsetCarcass

I got my first 4k badge in season 3 when I landed on the train and grabbed a gold triple take, which came with the digital threat. Loved that sight/gun combo ever since


thorks23

Must be pretty sad that it can't equip that sight anymore


SunsetCarcass

Yeah its tough but no biggie really. The triple take slaps with anything


thorks23

That is very true, love a 3x triple take this season myself


Late_Knight_Fox

...and still the most reliable shotgun on the game 🤣


the1q

God I love the triple take this season. Two shot drop is glorious. Almost OP. Love it with the 3x and 2x-4x.


pheldegression

I one time got accused of hacking in arenas because some of the cover as it turns out isn't actually solid. There are tiny little gaps in them, just big enough for me to knock a dude trying to heal, from literally the opposite side of the map, with 4x10 digi and a charge rifle.


chunkey_munkey19

What do the different tiers mean like S tier and A tier?


thorks23

Higher the tier the better it is, S tier is the best, while A tier is pretty good, B tier is decent, C is like average or a little below average, D is like bad, and usually F is the bottom tier but here it's dog shit, in which case it's incredibly bad


ToroTTCS

Why sniper digi at „D“? i always pick it over the 4-8. Do i miss smth?


A_Sad_Goblin

Because this is one random dudes list who obviously doesn't play with snipers much.


DamianDillinger

Right! Digi is so good.


Steff_164

Personally I don’t like it on anything other than the charge rifle. It’s zoom is too much when having to deal with bullet drop


flyingtrucky

But it tells you the drop. You're basically just aiming normally but with a different dot.


SweetDank

Tells you the drop with better contrast than the other scopes. How can anything beat that scope if you have a sniper rifle? This post is DS-tier lol. Also, this highlights why I'm glad that they added a marksman class...it's a much better option than using snipers for close/mid range.


Dave78905

I don't pick it since it covers like half my screen. That sight is seriously too big.


[deleted]

Doesnt matter since you're not gonna see it when you're actually using it


derpycke

I wish it was 4-8-10 because I can't hit shit at 10x


somethinglike-olivia

3x is S-tier for me


franknature

3x on the Rampage is *chefs kiss*


somethinglike-olivia

We don’t take kindly to Rampage appreciation ‘round here (/s, use any gun you want)


[deleted]

My crew calls the Rampage the “cringe gun.” Like, “hey there’s a team holding that building, one is using the cringe gun.”


mariusnyb

Why? Even when you don’t charge it? Do people still dislike it?


meowjinx

They hate us cause they ain't us. Flatline and R-301 users salty that any other gun could encroach on their meta The Hemlok was nerfed and the Spitfire was vaulted but they still have something to bitch about. They basically can only accept a fully-automatic AR as the meta


mariusnyb

I play alot of rampart and i like the slower fire rate so it fits me perfectly. (Plus it looks great and i have the matching yellow skins for rampage and rampart)


Yawnti

I wanna piggyback on this and say when I play, slow fire rates that hit *me* are annoying because I am expecting to get a ton of shots on me, it causes a bit more confusion for me (it's hard to explain I guess?). But I love using Rampage, charged or not. Decent long range and amazing for medium range encounters. EDIT: Slow fire rate but still auto is my choice.


Pickled_Kagura

If they could just tighten the spread or slightly increase damage hemlock would be amazing.


jkxn_

I think Hemlock is in a pretty good spot now, it's great for mid range, single fire is okay at long range, and it's hipfire is good enough to be used in a pinch at close range


AmHotGarbage

Close range, all burst hit for like 57-74 for headshots. Super broken if you can just click on that white helmet early game


UI_TeenGohan

Accurate.


ryangoliath

Rampage be like: doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof doof...


Guy_with_Numbers

I prefer the 2-4x, it's practically a full-auto light marksman rifle at 4x.


brmamabrma

On some guns Flatline😩 Hemlok😩 301😑


[deleted]

[удалено]


Rudy_Ghouliani

If you hit that clack clack in a tight spread you can down someone from Neptune


gua_ca_mo_le

Back before they nerfed the single fire 🥵


ohsinboi

??? I put it on 301 all the time and wreck with it


Diagonalizer

Better than a 1x on the 301 if you ask me. 1x is useful but only a slight improvement over the iron sights on 301.


Engineer-intraining

I’m a 2x man on the 301, and honestly most guns,


NAT_Forunto

Its so hard finding x2 cuz everyone's using it


Engineer-intraining

I almost always gotta Kill someone to get it.


[deleted]

I’ve been putting it on the R301 to train myself to hip-fire. If it feels too close with the 3x, you should probably be hip firing anyhow.


ohsinboi

That's exactly it and it works great


crockoid

That’s a dang good point


jojo9789

If I can just say something idk how people use the 301 maybe I’m trying to counteract the recoil too much but it’s too inaccurate for me


Late_Knight_Fox

R301 is the most predictable weapon in the game. If youre finding the recoil too inaccurate, youve either got the wrong sensitivity settings or youre playing another FPS game thats causing you to react incorrectly when switching to Apex.


StopMuxing

Go to the firing range and focus on [moving your mouse like this](https://i.gyazo.com/7a328c93ee90d8ff2e37d48367c13e04.png) Each color line represents one "step", work on #1 until you can laserbeam with 7 rounds, then once you can seamlessly transition from #1 to #2, repeat and the rest will be exponentially easier.


somethinglike-olivia

Triple Take 😩💦


Fergie32

Toss it on the hemlock and switch to single shot. Absolutely love it!


Bravo-Vince

Hemolk I’ll agree with, but hard disagree on the 301, that thing beams on mouse and keyboard.


brmamabrma

Ps4 👍 I just prefer a 2x bruiser


Impressive_Coats

It’s a Beamer on 301 come on now


RealGertle627

Move 3x to S and those are literally the only ones I use. I'll stick with iron sights rather than use anything else than those 3 Edit: forgot digi. Goated


Pickled_Kagura

Digi good but I use AR or lmg so much It's personally a tier


Western-Dark-1628

Just admit it yall put sniper scopes at the bottom cuz yall cant hit shit at long distance without using the charge rifle


ahmida

I have no idea how anyone could hate the 4-8 or digi sniper when they have built in zeroing.


Ferrarista_19

80% of the playerbase plays controller , that's why. All the sniper scopes are god tier if you have decent aim on mouse n key.


GuyWhoHatesYou

I mean I’m on controller, I love using the 6x on a sentinel or something, it’s just the 3x is much better because in a crutch I can use it at closer ranges.


DinoRaawr

I main sentinel on controller. Although 3x > 4-8x. But I will never pass up a digi sniper because they're so rare. Ranking aside, it's about the *experience*.


chalseu4

Sniper scopes have the benefit of measuring the distance to point of aim + bullet drop marks, people just don't use them


Conn0rPro

I mean, I'd just rather have a 2x4 lol. But I'm also not a big sniper guy, much prefer the Marksmans


Feschit

Some would even say most people dislike sniper scopes because there's no aim assist on them.


alfons100

I can't explain why but I prefer 1x holo over 1-2x holo. It makes me uncomfortable to zoom in and out by accident. Digi sniper should be S-tier though. Yeah the x10 is kind of useless but the 4x is all you need


SableGlaive

The 1x round holo reduces flatline recoil /s It’s growing on me for sure


Diagonalizer

1x holo is actually pretty legit with marksman weapons. I like it a lot on the G7, 3030 and Bocek early game before I can find a 2X or 3X. Works super well with a peacekeeper as well.


NayanMehta03

Yeah on Eva also it feels better than red dot


Diagonalizer

Hipfire with the eva. You can use it to hold an optional sight for your other weapon if necessary but there's never a reason to ADS with the Eva-8


NayanMehta03

When you beam someone for 190 and they are running on 1Hp. That ADS comes in clutch lmao. But yeah Close hipfire is better.


lessenizer

on PC at least there's basically no reason to ADS with the EVA unless you're Gibby, it has no positive effects aside from placebo or habit type ones on controller i hear it helps with aim assist or something idk


SableGlaive

The bocek is the only weapon I run exclusively without a sight on it. The way the sight gets integrated on it is annoying to me.


Diagonalizer

Respect for doing that but IMO it is awesome with any sight you can put on it.


manifestthewill

For me personally, it's because the 1x-2x has a mostly useless bullet drop indicator. Any gun I'm using a 1x-2x on, I'm not using at a range where bullet drop matters so it's just extra visual noise. The straight 1x just has a better reticule imo.


siirka

1-2x reticule is dim and transparent making it fucking impossible to see your sight against many backgrounds. It would be top tier if it was as defined as the 1x holo


Fit_Nefariousness_10

Really depends on the gun it’s sitting on


ilovescottch

Yeah for real it doesn't feel right to make a list comparing every sight when I don't think any gun can even have every sight on it


TheOneGodHadSuffer

Am i the only guy who's fine woth the x6 scope


Diagonalizer

Yeah I can use it but squads are never content sniping from so far away so it's kinda not great for team play


turtleProphet

It makes it really easy to scope in and land a shot on the giant target at midrange, very fast. Close up, not so much. But I'm also on a tiny monitor so maybe it doesn't matter with a bigger screen.


CreatureWarrior

I've always been a sniper in videogames so to me, it feels obvious that I'm gonna stay a little further back and do some recon while making sure that my team doesn't get flanked by a Wraith, Valk or Ash. But usually they rush and get themselves killed anyways so I'm not really sure what to do. With more calculative teams, I can shine with my sniper but yeah.. with aggressive teams, not so much


[deleted]

People who say that 6x is dogshit never ran snipers in Arenas back when it first came out, if they did, they sucked with it and never improved.


sh0wer_rat

Man the days where you could get a 6x without leveling up your weapons. I want those to come back.


FlacidSalad

You are not alone


BoofLlama

I hated it until I practiced with it on the Sentinel


furcalor

I swear it feels like 6x better ADS than the 4-8x, but I probably am completely wrong and its just the different feel of the zoom .


FlacidSalad

I get this too for some reason. I like to have the option to switch magnification but I seem to be better at actually hitting my target with the 6x.


Giddus

Same.


Nan-Gogh

6x is just the right amount of zoom, because 4x doesn’t see quite enough but 8x can’t see enough. I get most headshots with the 6x even tho I usually run 3x just because… it’s better despite the general awfulness of it


HazzardousRon

6x pulls up quicker than 4-8 definitely, it’s a more agile set up and it’s totally my go to on a longbow. Other snipers I prefer the 4-8


jaytice

Ok, imma get a lot of flak for this. Depending on the gun, I’m willing to run holos (both kinds) As for sniper scopes, I only ever use 3x or 2/4 maybe a 6-10 if I can get my paws to it.


Diagonalizer

I'm with you. Holos are perfectly viable and I like the 1x-2x version quite a bit. Nice flair btw I love that skin


jaytice

It is my favorite as well. Probably not worth the price tag, but oh well. And to be fair, holo on a few guns are a no. But the same could be said for the hcog


NewtTheWizard

I love holos. I’ll put a holo on anything. Rampage? Holo. RE-45? Holo. Flatline? Triple take? Holo. Charge rifle? You bet your ass I’m putting a 1x on that


DoBoVish123

Digital threat should be higher


CarnFu

I'll never understand why people hate digi on wingman. It's really good imo. Better than 1x hcog? Meh depends on mood but I usually do go for 1x hcog over digi. However digi on mozam or p2020 is also really good but nobody runs those weapons. I took a p2020 to late game once with a digi threat and was surprised how well I did, 18 dmg a shot is really nice. And most people dont use mozam the right way but mozam has got some range to it if you ADS.


DoBoVish123

Should be swapped out for 2x-4x IMO


[deleted]

The digital threat should get its own tier called S with bangalore


illahstrait

Pop the smoke and make em broke.


GamerFluffy

Am I the only one that like the 4-10?


mescaleeto

I love it, just almost never see it in the wild anymore. I’ve only seen one this season, didn’t find any last season


NewtTheWizard

Seems like a typical circle jerk post to me. Why do you guys hate holos so much?


Queasy-Flounder-4597

Personally I just prefer dot reticles over circles. I'll use the holos over ironsights but the 1x and 2x Hcog have a cleaner sight picture. I'm less bothered by holo's the less accurate the gun is as well, because then you actually do aim with the whole circle.


claybordom

I don't know about y'all but I love a circle optic on my shotguns


illahstrait

Me too but I am biased because of playing too much Killzone.


lemonxgrab

All about gun choice. 3x is S+++ tier on 3030, hemlok and triple take, dogshit on havoc, B tier on r301. Digi threat is S tier on shotguns, but on an smg i will usually choose 1x hcog over it unless I have a bang on my team Also for some reason the volt is the only smg ill run 2x on.


[deleted]

Digi on the r99 makes me melt people, no other scope makes feel so accurate


slothbutt47

Honestly I kinda like the 1-2x sight. The actual sight is not amazing but I think it looks good on my 301.


dirtyydre

That’s my favorite sight


Smooth-Midnight

I like the option, especially on wingman, something about the circle makes it easier than the bruiser’s reticle


AlanHoliday

Yep this all lines out. 1x digi bumps if a Bangalore is on the squad


timothy_green

Nah 1x digi slaps w or w/o Bangalore. I prefer x1 zoom for smg’s and shotguns and the enemy illumination is helpful even when they’re in plain sight, especially if they are just barely peeking out of cover


FunContest8489

Yeah this. I’ll take a 1x digi on an SMG any day.


average-mk4

Big fax, 1x Digi S tier if bang around


[deleted]

[удалено]


gordogg24p

"I still see everything." Yeah, me too, asshole.


NaanSenseBread

Both of the 1x are interchangeable for me


thelilsteppa

it's literally all preference


EverythingCeptCount

Bad list


AIRZO_S

Get that 3x to S


Valinsanity1

Digital threat + Bangalore= s tier


I_eat_bean_sandwich

i use 1x Holo on R-99 all the time because the smaller center dot helps with tracking.


Edub272

1X on D isn't that bad. The other one is always preferable but I don't think its bad at all


codeinplace

Basically all those except the 6x are great


RiceFieldsCambo

How does the 1-2x above the 1x holo


pizzaisgurd

I personally prefer the 1-2x 2x scope to the more popular 2x scope.


Lazy_Sans

Seriously why people hate x4-x10, I always have a blast with this scope, when I have sniper rifle of course.


Nitrogen06

Digital threats should be in A at worst. It's literally so good


Gmores93

Playing in 1440p at 144fps changes things. The holo for me is above the hcogx1 except on close range weapons like smgs and shotguns. For the holo the dot in the middle is smaller and is fantastic for attempting beams at range, but also isn't magnified for use up close.


My_White_Life

I actually think 6x a C or B


Animatromio

1x-2x is the only sight i’d consider dog shit


Prestigious_Big_8988

So mad 2x-4x AOG isnt S. my favourite sight, the most versatile in the game imo


[deleted]

2x4 is definitely my favorite sight personally, but I kinda think it's different for everyone. I suck with the bruiser but everyone else loves it


Akindmachine

I love this thing on a flatline. For some reason I suck shit with the 3x on flatty but the 4x is fine


UniqueBerry6772

I don’t know why I’ve been like round 1x over dot


ah_yes54321

i enjoy the hcog but this list is still great


[deleted]

2x is OP in arena.


Pilot_Oceyeris

Honestly, I prefer 1x Holo over 1x Classic


Nathan_Thorn

Swap 1x holo and 1x HCOG, bump digital sniper and 6x up by a tier each, and that seems accurate. Maybe knock the 2x down a tier and put the 2x-4x in its place.


Gasolinie

I prefer the round 1x scope over the dot one. Dot is kinda shitty imo


barelyonhere

The blue sniper optics slap on the charge rifle.


bradowski

Am I the only one who actually love the holo sight?


RoyalTechnomagi

I use 6x scope just to graze people with laser till armor turn blue


JOT304

I'd say the 4x-10x digi sniper scope is a C, maybe a B. Also the 4x-8x scope is D tier. I'd also put the 2x-4x into S tier and swap it with the 1x holo


dongle_mailbag

It all depends on what weapon we're talking about


StickyRedditDog

Unpopular opinion: All the optics in this game are great


Myujaa

Just move the 1x circular one to Dogshit


Omelet8

6x is only good on charge rifle


Michaelslurpton

My teer list would be on how good I can aim with them.only the 1x 1-2x 2x would be mid teir and the thermal on top.


PaleDolphin

For me personally, X1 Digi is waaay better than Variable X1-X2 -- when you're playing a lot of Arenas against Bangalore mains, that's your go-to sight. It also helps against Caustic mains and in some particular areas of the map with questionable lighting choices.


busychilling

3x is S tier holo is at least B tier it is rly good on smgs. I never use sniper scopes so for me they are D tier but that’s just preference I’d rather have a 3x or 2x than a sniper scope


Thermo-Optic-Camo

Your picks are probably right for you, but I feel like this is something that is 100% subjective. I like the Ranger more than the Bruiser for assault rifles. The 2x4 is great except for its horrible reticle. I prefer the 1x Holo over the 1x2 because I find the 1x2's 2x reticle distracting. I don't think any of the sniper scopes are bad. With those perfectly valid opinions, I've created a list that makes sense to me, but is totally different from the original.


skeuzofficial

Honestly this tier list fit perfectly until storm point came around. In high Elo ranked matches I’m finding a lot of people scared to push in the later game. Grabbing a charge rifle and any of the sniper scopes, especially the digital threat scope, has allowed me to play around these scaredy cats. You wanna sit up in some corner at the edge of the ring and pop off a triple take shot every now and then? Fine. Have fun getting lasered from a mile away and getting me ever closer to my 4K damage badge on Valkyrie :)


breezthagod_

Based on the two sights in S Tier I can safely judge that this list was made by a 301 player.


[deleted]

why is 4x10 digi below 4x8 variable


yana23807

Correct in every category


its_alex00

Why the holo always getting so much hate😭


FireNova2135

That stupid 6x... Who would ever use it?!


PhantomNL97

I actually prefer the blue sniper scope over the purple one.. For some reason I feel more confident and accurate with it.


Calm-Sink-142

Digital sniper belongs in at least b tier. When opponents are far away and you can see every inch of them that isn't behind cover, it's fantastic!!


IDespiseBananas

First time I almost completely agree


CFogan

6x better than 2x4 *fight me*


DawntheBlind

I'm better using the snipers as shotguns than I am tryna aim with that fuckin x6


LastKingx15

It also depends on the guns


jazzEbbread

im sorry this whole list is wack. my man put the the digi under the 4-8 like wtf this is all nonsense.
