The Best Powered Optics In Patch 13.5

You should do a scope video while using night vision!! 😊

i'd disagree about EOTec HHS-1 scope. the 3x ofc is a bit shaky and not that good indeed, but what i've found out that i was using it as normal EXPS3 scope as the best hollow one, and then sometimes switching to the 3x was quite useful. was very handy for example on interchange while doing quest and killing 40 scavs, as sometimes it's very convenient to have a little bit of magnification. just treat it as good hollow scope
last wipe i was using specter a lot, but never actually did this wipe -- somehow i feel that it takes too much of the screen, borders are too thick and cover lots of space i mean, and the visible area is fairly small too. although i like the reticle it has.
for zoom on sniper rifles i usually go with schmidt&bender 1x-8x or sometimes 3x-12x.

I still feel like ... the game should be balanced in a way that you DONT want to use full auto with a big af sniper scope on your gun when ADS´ing. It turned the decision from "Do I want a 1x scope for CQC or a long range scope for open areas" into "just always take something that has both" with no real downsite as money is way too easy to get right now. Makes canted sights feel almost useless now (besides the ergo bug)

I never knew maxing out the FOV could actually be a bad thing, went and tested it myself and I can actually see where I'm hitting with a full auto spray when I turn FOV down rather than guessing I was!

WHEN ARE U EVER FULL AUTOING WITH A 4X

love the kmz if youre using the dovetail mount (side ak) you can upgrade the irons and use them as a 1x backup

很有帮助！！感谢！！！

we need the weaver PSO scopes

the schmidt bender 3 to 12 is my fav in the game and i use it on everything the game wil let me use it on

I have to down vote all these streamer recommendations

Ny scope gonna triple in price t.t i hate you dad

Vudu is my optic of choice.

4x-Pso on ak-102 stay rawdoggin

If you use a red dot with a razer scope you're just wrong. I've already killed you with my laser from hip fire before you got the stupid red dot up.

I really like the valday and tac 30. When im jyst running back to back scavs for money on factory you often spawn with these scopes so its very easy to put them assid instead of selling them and having a completly free stockpile to use when wanted

Bravo4 is by far my favourite scope to use, its cheap, has pretty clean 4x and doesnt lose sight nearly as easly as the hamr. The main thing is my preference for 1x sights over 1x scopes which is mainly why i use it.

As an ACOG user it’s super cheap kinda underrated when u get used to it

There is an issue with the ELCAN that isn't present on other scopes. I thought it would be fixed by now but apparently it hasn't been, or at least I can still see it in this video.

It seemingly defaults to some other FOV that is way larger than normal. As a result its 1x mode is actually something like 0.8x, zooming you out instead of in. That makes it basically useless because you could instead just use something with fixed magnification and a laser and save money that way.

Do a video on night vision with scopes. Cheers

Love these tutorials but please, for the love of God, where do those magnificent spreadsheets come from ? I bookmarked the armor one that you, so kindly shared on one of your videos, but completely unable to locate any of the others.

I miss the old Valaday from like 2 years ago ;(

You should show the item in question at the same time as youre naming it for visual people. Hard to keep track of which scope youre refering to by name only if you're new

Possibly the most subjective element in Tarkov.

Do people actually try and full auto with the larger magnification scopes? You talk a lot about how bad the full auto is with the 3x - 4x scopes but honestly any engagement where I need that magnification I personally wouldn't be full auto'ing. Am I doing it wrong?

I generally have three distinctly different gun types and scopes that I choose to go with them, bolt-action snipers, semi auto rifles/DMRs, and lastly anything full auto like an SMG/AR.
Bolt action snipers its all about being able to quickly and reliably line up shots so something with variable magnification and a good sight picture is all that is needed.

Semi auto anything I want to have options for close and medium/long range depending on the map so any of the variable zoom scopes with a 1x option or a medium range scope with a canted red dot are good. For 99% of the maps and engagements I find myself in with these I nearly always like the Monstrum 2x (I'm trying really hard to use other scopes but this just fits so well for any semi auto guns)

Full auto guns come in two types really, SMGs that can't really do long range so red dot/holo sights all the way, and assault rifles that can full auto up close or semi auto at range. And I have similar requirements to the semi auto/DMRs in that I want flexibility but it needs to be able to full auto at close range without losing sight picture. This is where I tend to use the HAMR/Bravo4s as my go to

You just have to appreciate all the work these creators put into their videos to make them as high quality as possible, great video!

I don’t mean to hate but this isn’t really an accurate representation of best optics. Again it may explain what scopes may be better on a AR, but say you use an semi or a sniper rifle a lot of the optics you may use on the AR can be excessive and or not sufficient.

Hammer is gross

I love the Monstrum for a lot of scenarios with short to mid range.

Great work on the video, I am glad to see a full breakdown with all the new scopes

What an excellent video. This was INSANELY helpful and useful as a jew player

Why is nobody talking about the description error of the scope magnification, almost every scope in the game has different magnification than the description says.

I just don't understand why the reticles aren't accurate to real life. The Bravo and HAMR have tiny reticles but in game they take up the whole scope. And the 3.5x ACOG? Absolutely bastardized, I feel bad for it.

Good stuff :)

Hi gigabeef. Your videos are amazing. Would you mind next time putting the thumbnail of the scope you are reviewing on the screen? I dont know most of these scopes by name and it would be helpful to recognize them by their thumbnail or image icon

Vuduu and razor sight are not 6x. They are 8x just like the schmidt&bender

Gigabeef I love your content. You give me the information i wish i knew but will always be too lazy to find out on my own

Well thanks for destroying my cheap and effective scope prices :(

I havent played in a couple wipes but i remember the Tac 30 being very hard to use with nvgs

The monstrum I prefer on semi auto like an Adar. Most of the time though I run the Spector as I am usually too poor for nicer scopes

I swear by the NCStar. It is one of my favorite scopes on anything that isn't full auto because it covers everything I want it to at a low price at all points in the wipe. 1/3/9 is just too good of an offer for its price point.

I still remember times when Bravo 4 was the best. It was big, clean and had a really good wide field of view.

They kinda killed it.

Great! I’m struggling with this rn. Would be nice if the full Tier list featured a view thru each scope…
Pest’s shows about half, so that’s good. But his is way outdated now.

@Gigabeef Great job on those scopes, mate! Also would be nice if you reviewed the experience of scopes with NV! There is a huge diff.

swamp fox clan rise up.

Imagine doing a scope video and not touching the issue of some of them absolutely TANKING sensitivity of your mouse making them unusable no matter how "good" they are

prokill barter mentioned

I think some people choose HAMR because of the visual recoil on the reddot on top is lower than using it alone, plus the scope itself serves as some sort of telescope

For the NcStar, its a bug thats been there for about 4yrs that I just recently learned about. Basically what is going on when you use the red dot on top of it, is the game still thinks you are either using the 3x or 9x scope. This has the affect as well on your turning speed which is severely reduced while using the red dot, as if you were scoped in and trying to look around. Hopefully it gets fixed eventually. 4 yrs is quite a long wait as is.

1P59/69 is the best scope. Love just putting it a VPO and doing budget sniping

It is baffling to me how badly BSG butchers scope reticles. HAMR, ADO, ACOGs, Specter, Bravo, March Tactical, Kiba Prism (formerly Primary Arms Prism, licensing issue), are just completely wrong.

The SB 1-8 is good so they can definitely do things correctly.
