Long-range telescopic zoom and heavy ballistic lethality
Constructed at a Tinkerer's Workshop by combining a Rifle Scope with a Destroyer Emblem. This accessory provides 10% increased ranged damage and 10% increased ranged critical strike chance. Holding right-click while wielding any bullet-firing gun pans the player's view screen outward in the direction of the cursor, granting wide targeting vision across long distances. This magnification allows picking off hazardous monsters before they enter standard screen boundaries. The zoom effect releases smoothly upon letting go.
Ranger optics integration and stealth reconnaissance
The Sniper Scope is a staple accessory for late-game rangers using weapons like the Sniper Rifle, Megashark, or Chain Gun. It combines with a Putrid Scent to create the Recon Scope. Because the Sniper Scope stacks with the Recon Scope, equipping both grants 20% ranged damage and 20% critical chance simultaneously across long-range bullet weapons. Reforging to Lucky or Menacing maximizes bullet burst damage.
Trivia
- The camera zoom function works strictly with guns that consume bullets as ammunition.
- Stacks its critical strike and ranged damage bonuses directly with the Recon Scope.
