3x Backlit Scope

The 3x Backlit Scope is a sight type attachment introduced to BATTLEGROUNDS in Update 12.

Summary
The 3x scope represents a compromise between the 2x and 4x scopes. The reticle can be used as a rangefinder for targets between 100 meters out to 400 meters by using the shoulder width of a target and matching it up with the horizontal lines. The reticle brightness can also be adjusted to current lighting conditions.

Because the 3x scope's magnification sets the field of view to 26.66°, players using a default field of view value higher than 80° will technically get slightly more than 3x magnification power due to the greater difference in FOV values.

Trivia

 * The 3x scope is based on the Vortex Spitfire 3X Prism Scope with the EBR-556B reticle. The test server version of this scope originally featured a larger red reticle identical in appearance to its real life counterpart, but was changed in the live version to a smaller green one in response to feedback for a clearer reticle.
