Long Range Scope Been Removed?

[earthmonster 15]

I have put miles of ground under my boots and much effort to find one since last patch to no avail. Have they been removed?

[Redwolf (DayZ) 125]

No, they're just rare. As they should be.

[weedmasta 784]

I have found 3 so far all in residential and industrial areas.

This.  There are other things to do in the game besides snipe.

[mirth 23]

I can confirm their rareness as it took me a very long time to find one after the recent patch, but thats good :D 

[StayAlive (DayZ) 169]

I got one from a bandit;)

FYI, I use it like binoculars mostly as I rarely KOS

^This^.  Excellent for literally scoping out a town before you enter..rooftops/towers/treelines/etc

[soulfirez 901]

yeah without binocs in game yet it does make scouting much easier lol. But yes as has been said they are there i just found one myself last night ( badly damaged though 8( ..)

 

Seek and ye shall find.

As hard as they are to find, finding a pristine one is even harder!

[Firstbornchicken 34]

I have found a shitload of pristine long range scopes in garages. 

[Zedicologist 162]

well the best chance of finding one is in the tents of Balota and NWAF.  But since they aren't currently spawning loot that might be the reason they are as rare as what they are atm.  Onnce the loot bug gets fixed they will be a lil less rare.  

[frosti 2165]

I saw it on experimental servers.

[Metalunatic 25]

Found a worn one in Green Mountain yesterday.

Like what? Get m4 and play like COD?

[Ansssi 184]

Brofist m8  :beans:

[marsmars 155]

Here it doesnt mention anything about being removed

 

I think before reset I saw it in ATC tower in one of the airfields

I cannot take you seriously with that stupid pic man. 

 

I have yet to see one OP.

[punkvegita 44]

Well I hope even after they fix the tent spawns the scopes are still as rare as now, sniping to me is too big of an issue and op weapon for just any ordinary joe to be carying around. I really hope soome time in the future you can use long range scopes as a binocular. Would give great usefullness to all those damaged ones.

[DirtyscumbagLith 270]

its the only time my evil eyes shed a tear, when i lose that long range scope.

 

usually have to head to balota AF to get one, and i hate that place.

[Blades421 66]

I found 3  @ NWAF today...one in the ATC and the other two in the barracks. Only one was pristine, and the others where damaged.

 

And I found a compensator in the storage units in Vybor, was worn, but still good enough.

I walked up on a pristine one checking the military base south of NWAF. First piece of loot I found.

I don't have a mosin, but that's how the world works huh?
