Because these questions were asked a couple of time: Yes, the 6x thermal scope also has a glint on all weapons including the Rorsch Mk. 4. And no, Zain's Airburst Rifle does not glint.

This explains why I've been getting slaughtered. Have always used a 4x scope.

idk why they even messed with scope glint, the glint was fine the way it was starting at 6x power for the optic and didn’t matter what weapon

I was wondering why there are glints on some AR wielding enemies, now i know why. Guess its time to use the 3.5 instead

Thank you! I think this is a great time to express my appreciation for your engagement with the BF community. You are so amazing and are always adding useful and engaging content for us.

Scope glint is so annoying. They should've left it alone with 6x and up have glint. I purposely use the 4x in a lot of cases when sniping at mid range just so i can stay undetected. That added a whole different tactical aspect to sniping. Now I'm just going to run around with an 8x or 12x since it doesn't matter anymore. One of those examples of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Cad should join the DICE Test / QA team immediately! We'd get higher quality releases immediately! 🙂

Wow I had no idea! Thanks for the info! DICE should just apply the scope glint to 5X and above. Too complicated when there's different types of 4X scopes. Hell, if I remember in BF4, the 4X scopes didn't have any glint.

Cad back with another update! Thank you for keeping us in the loop of the issues we are having!

The proximity spotting bug explains why I’ve been getting melted the moment I turn a corner. The enemies knew I was coming!

At this point I'm beginning to believe DICE/EA is just purposely doing this to mess with us. I honestly do not see how game developers can possibly still be screwing up this bad over a year and a half into a game. It's sad. Thank you for the info, good to know.

Thank you Cad! A few KZfaqrs had brought up the issue with 3d spotting, but not with any depth. The scope glint explains why I’ve been getting seen constantly, you’re the first one I’ve seen post about this! Much appreciated 🤜🏼🤛🏼 you’re awesome!

I have also noticed a wall destruction glitch. That is on Manifest a piece of concrete wall that has been destroyed keeps shedding pieces of concrete like it is trying to reconstruct itself. And on Disguarded near A1. The wooden fence after you destroy it keeps glitching.

Most in depth content creator on Battlefield on KZfaq. Keep up the good work.

Great information as always, thank you 👍

Great video as always, but here's a tip for your next videos: when showing something with scope like that, split the video in half with each view in real-time. Sometimes is kinda hard to know what you was talking about because we just see the flash on and off, but no way to know what you really wanted to show. I believe the same happened with your minimap tutorial on an older video!

Great content. thanks for the heads up!

Thanks alot... I was wondering what was going on. Thanks for all the help

Yeah I noticed this when someone with an ar with the raven 4x killed me but I saw scope glint as they shot. Luckily for ARs, lmgs and smgs the highest zoom sight I use is 2.5x and for snipers I mostly use the 6x anyway. For dmrs this might be a pain and also my m44 ☹️

Thank you for such a thorough and detailed video - Dice should be paying you for this!

Ahh your voice, style, delivery and breakdown of the issue remind me of Battle(non)sense, I miss his videos. Well done. Thank you for educating us.

Wow, amazing work TCW!! You're so invaluable to the community.

Thank you for the follow up video and testing this throughly. Some things are not as bad as i thought but wow they still messed it pretty bad with the canted and laser. Also saw comment about the airburst not having a glint smh. With all the nades and launched explosives in the game now plus vehicles and 3d spotting, god I miss the propper hardcore server days with a center mass 1 shot kills. Keep up the great videos. Cheers.

Danke für die Info. Hatte ich noch garnichts von mitbekommen

Thankyou CadWoman

Cad I think your the only one reporting this. It is the littlest things you catch I haven't seen anyone catch or takes the time to explain. You have to been bf2042 content creator of year lol awesome

Amazing work

Hahahahaha, DICE, please. Remove it alltogether. The trace bullets leave and the sound is enough to locate a camper.

Thanks for explaining to me how glint works as I have had no clue how it works till now and from when it first got introduced in BF 3 XD

The fact that there's a "glint" ( glare ) even on night maps is ridiculous. The whole point of a sniper is to be inconspicuous, and be able to scout an area for your team. They already give up your location when you get someone.

4x scope shshshsh, that explains a lot when I was playing. Was always aware 6x below.

Huge finds, thx!

thx 4 info cad 😘

You're awesome, thank you

We all are always grateful for ur tips, guides and news Cad. Though it's surprising that u still have time to play regular matches when doing all that testing for us 😁

Thank you Cad. Always more "features" for every update... 😊

I wondered this for about 3 minutes the other day. Didn’t think it was right that another dude using a 4x on his scar and giving glint. Not a good change

I just now found out about this. Why do we have to down our own research to find out what scopes have glint under what circumstances? These things should be listed in the menus when selecting attachments. Time to drop all the scopes that are affected. Damn, I'm mad about this.

Super :) Vielen Dank für die Info, wäre sonst voll an mir vorbeigegangen

Here's another bug for you - if you equip the desert eagle as your sidearm. In game try to edit the loadout of the sidearm and for some reason it'll switch your primary to the AK74-U SMG, not sure if the error is tied to a particular game mode or character but happened every time to me last night. I also think there is bug with regular 3D spotting - quite often there are players in plain sight that I completely can't spot, but no reason why i shouldn't be able to. The game definitely feels off since the last update.

I don't understand why on the adjustable zoom scopes, the entire screen zooms in, wouldn't it just be the scope viewport itself that is zoomed in?

Happy that I run 3.5x scope! lol Thanks for another great video!

I wonder if scope glint drowns out flash light attachment or if it looks like one big ball of light

Thanks

thanks as always. hope this will be fixed soon.

I’m so tired of modern games going overboard with scope glint. Way to punish me for simply using a weapon’s sight.

Thank God someone of some notoriety said something. You can't be a sniper anymore unless you play like you're having a seizure. It's not even fun anymore.

It,s so so good 🙏🏼🖤

Bf veteran here, waited 2 yrs to pick this up and there are still busy breaking things. Took me 60 hours to be able to play this title at average capacity, something still fells very off i cant explain it. Great vid explanations like this are handy for crappy players like me thankyou

is there a fix coming at anytime for the frame drops when you scope into a thermal scope?

I feel 4x shouldn't have glint but anything over 4 should and all thermals should have a red, purple, or blue glint to distinguish them from regular optics and let you know you're being seen by thermals.

Nice work. Thanks

Thanks ! Now I understand why my death rate has increased !

The year is 2042. We still have scope glint.

Before the update it depended on the weapon type, whether you had a scope glint with the designated scopes. For example, on a marksman rifle you could have a 4x raven and not have glint, but on a sniper rifle with the 4x you had the glint. If I'm understanding it correctly, the rules now apply to all weapon types in the same way and there are no differences like previously, right?

Last update broke squad revive for me on PS4. It will often just cancel. I thought it was linked to movement, I set it to "press", not "hold", so I wiggle around while reviving, but no, happens too when immobile. I press it and it stops after a split second. Got killed many times while trying to revive because of it.

Hmmm scope glint is quite annoying

No,YOU are awesome!

I've been wondering why it feels like everyone is wall-hacking right now.... Must be the proximity spotting error...

Thanks for letting me know about the variable optics. Thought it was so dumb that 4x glints now. Wish I had known before that 5x was fair game before the change. Oh well. Edit: You mentioned some specific weapons when it came to disabling glint with an underbarrel. Do other weapons with lasers and flashlights not have this bug? Specifically the sniper rifles... Wondering if I can get my 8x without glint.

Great!

As always good informative video thank you Cad. Unfortunately, I think the glitter effect is unnecessary for scopes. In the game, the kill cam shows you anyway. I shoot from 600 meters and they see me. The silencer is useless if you play as a CQB ninja, the average silencer is 40+ meters, and inside that you will be noticed so useless. Of course you're a camper... Yes, but I shoot from 6-900 meters with sniper. And most of the time you're not killing from one shot. Other option is like Bf4 suppressor and minimap stealth, but here isn't working.

so, my issues with scopes is the movement of the cross hairs they should not move around in my scope stay in middle of my scope

glint needs to be reworked entirely. scopes should only glint when facing the sun. Plus having a big white star instead of your body can be an advantage. kind of like how the flashlight blinds.

What the hell Dice? Leave stuff alone that isn’t broken. As if there wasn’t enough ways to get spotted and or marked in the game already. It’s almost like they don’t want people to be sneaky.

A few months back I thought it had been reported that the Thermal Scopes all had a glint. Is this no longer the case?

Does zayns airburst rifle have scope glint?

Unless you play on pc snipers are totally useless since assault rifles take you out in like 10 shots at long range. Especially when you aim in and there is a light beacon giving away your position even if you sit in a dark place.

I thought scope glint was always 4.5x+.. at least that's what I remember it being.

Idk. I'm glad to be playing The Finals Beta again this week, and it says a lot when The Finals Beta has fewer bugs than a game that's been out for over 1 1/2 years. I was actually really excited for Season 5, especially after the announcement of Season 6, but somehow I don't like the map and more bugs came into the game than felt ever in Bf2042 with a patch before. Being able to spot enemies through walls is also a gamebreaking bug that should be fixed immediately. A hotfix has to come at the latest one week after the release imo. In addition, some gameplay changes that I can not understand at all. The Scope Glint change, which was also fucked up, and the Irish nerf. Both things that currently drive me far away from Bf2042 and I say that with over 800h of Bf2042 since release. :/

DICE should pay you double salary, since you not only do more and better QA work than them but you also explain your findings to the community better than their community managers

This bug is kinda hilarious in the way that it unintentionally acknowledges that scope glints don't work like that at all and look more like flashlights in games.

I'm just waiting for the polished iron sights to have glint. 🥴

I hate scope glint. I like the challenge of finding where to sniper is, rather than having a exaggerated light beacon giving away the position instantly. Also, as a sniper I like the effort of finding a sneaky, well camouflaged position so I can camp and chill and not be discovered in a second.

I think netcode is broken for hit registry again too... similar to how it was in the beginning...

I was wondering why everyone was homing in on me with the ACOG on the GOL magnum. smh thank battlefield!

That glint change is so stupid

I don't claim to know how programming works but it just seems like a simple "if...then...(Boolean)" structure: if player equips a 6x scope then turn on glint, otherwise, turn it off?

The only reason i can think for dice to make this change to scope glint is there trying to force people to play at closer ranges I could be wrong but it's difficult to think of another reason they would do this

I was wondering why my opponent would notice me...that explains.

Does Zain's gadget, the XM370A airburst launcher have glint?

I hate this new scope change. being able to snipe without a signature was a fun mechanic to not only use, but to fight against. Once they fix the bug, the 4x and 5x will be pointless. very dumb

Damn, it was nice to use the 4x and 5x scopes. Now…not so useful.😮

Is that a new bug with underbarrel attachment, or has it always been bugged like that? Crazy so many ppl probably abusing the shit out of it hiding in their spawn just pickin ppl off with a 10x or 12x

Irish is broken when it comes to customization. I can't equip anything different; it's locked on his bf4 campaign skin. Idk if this is a problem for anyone else.

Any recommendations on a more realistic battlefield game for PS5? Thanks

Did you let bf devs know about this, about toggling the glint? They should pay you for your through testing. YOU are awesome!

Does anyone know if thermal sights 6x have scope glint?

I hate this change.

Pretty sure they said 4x would have glint, because I knew about it before watching this video. Like your videos but do you expect anything else from dice?

Hi! I know you are primarily Battlefield but do you have plans to play any Battlebit on the channel? And thanks for another great BF video 🎉

I had no idea that a 6x on an LMG would cause scope glint. That’s just ridiculous.. TTK on an LMG is nowhere near that of any sniper rifle.

3.5 x scopes gonna get real popular

I thought they were going to fix this issue but I guess not unfortunately

Your content is above and beyond, may I know your profession?

Is it still true that the laser sights do not provide recoil control as they say they do?

All these bugs in this update are really frustrating.

This is not surprising - I highly doubt that DICE has a formal test group and just leaves all testing up to the programmers (and users! - this is not that uncommon, many managers feel that formal testing is a "waste" of money and schedule impact!). I used to be interested in software metrics when I was working. A book by a famous author in the field claimed that as much as 50% of one-line code changes had bugs in them. At first, I didn't believe that statistic, but at the time I was working on a project that was in the maintenance phase i.e. bug fixing, so I gathered my own informal metrics across my own and my teammate's changes and I was shocked to see that the number was quite accurate - but we were fortunate, that project had a formal testing group and the majority of the bugs were found in the test phase prior to release to the customer. DICE obviously doesn't have that "luxury" and they leave the bugs up to us to find - another reason why DICE/EA are not getting anymore of my gaming $s 🙂

I hope this gets fixed soon😭
