Long Range Scope (Standalone)

[joegburgess@gmail.com 4]

Where have people found these? I've found a hundred PU scopes, but never a long range one.

 

The only one I ever owned was from a dead bandit - and I died minutes after from his friend before I had a chance to use it! :D

In hangars

[ivernk 9]

It spawns in barracks and hangars, but is extremely rare. So the chances of finding one is not all that great.

Log out near nwaf and search for a recently restarted server or a nearly full one and look in all the hangars there, I always find at least one, usually 2-3 there

[Zoridium JackL 16]

I once found two pristine ones and a damaged on in a single hanger strip, kind of annoyed me seeing as how I already had one and I rarely find them otherwise on new spawns.

The best place to find them is off dead bodies

[MetapoliC 263]

Best places to look for them are the military bases and airfields

[Window Licker 504]

They are rare as hen's teeth, I was on the airfield when the server reset and went thru every building and didn't get one.

Hunt a sniper: chances of finding a scope on a sniper is nearly 100%

Snipers live on hills and buildings overlooking high traffic areas

lolled hard ^^

 

should have written it a bit more like in an encyclopedia:

 

Sniper: Person living on hills and buildings overlooking high traffic areas. They spend most of their time lying on their belly, crouching like snakes. Some move that little that you could think they are asleep or dead, but they are just waiting for their ususpecting prey. Common loot obtained from snipers are mosins with lrs, compensator and bipod.

Best tactic to take out a sniper is to sneak up behind him from an unsuspected direction and knock him out with an axe

Search all hangars throughly, if search well, you'll find one 4 times outta 10 xD

 

Once the tents at Balota are fixed, you'll be finding them like crazy!

+125hours and have found one only... They're very rare, ok, but what pisses me off is that most of youtubers have one and full pristine gear, not to mention clans and stuff... Server restart, loot respawn abusers are messing the current stage of the game.

[MetapoliC 263]

Yeah I'm searching for one on the NE AF for a couple of hours now but can't find it. Two PU, ACOG, all pristine

I feel your pain, 130 hours and have never found a single one, curse me and my non-exploiting disposition 

[DMentMan 707]

right now, in hangars, later also in tents 

[kitthegreat 43]

Found 5 to date, 2 were found at the same time at nwaf. In the camo net bunkers near the tents on the nw corner. The others were found in the barracks at zelenogorsk and kamenka military bases.

They are also found in the sandbag towers where the tents are located. Heh, I don't know the exact name of the particular building. I'm sure someone here knows what I'm referring to :)

they're what's known as a Sangar.

Found one today in the military base buildings(the ground floor barracks with shower and 4 rooms) but it was my first LRS ever since the loot patch, theyre rare as f*ck.
