Now personally I don't use this mechanic so I have DOF turned off, I don't like any blur on my screen and I'm used to play scout without it, but maybe for people new to the game or the scout class it might be useful. The new glints, however, are always active. This will give you all the scope depth of field benefits outlined above. We acknowledge that many Scout players have grown accustomed to the current settings, which will remain the default way of engagement.īut, for those of you who want better communication when aiming down scope, head over to the Video Options and select “Sniper Scope DOF” and toggle it on. Please note, the depth of field changes for scopes are off by default. The following table outlines each rifle’s sweet spot distance and the type of glint opponents will see. Their magnifying power is low enough that players should be able to identify potential shooters without the assistance of glint.


Most Scout rifles have an optimal distance where they are the most effective in combat, causing 100% damage to their opponents, which is often referred to as the “sweet spot.” Battlefield 1 rifles have been operating under these rules since the launch of the game, each rifle’s sweet spot can be reviewed from a graph under “Customization” but it was never clearly communicated to the player in-game, until now. In one of the most recent updates they extended this scope glint (lens glare) to more weapons as well made some additions. Due to the sweet spot mechanic the learning curve for sniping is not that steep compared to other BF titles.
