Are long range scopes still in the game in 0.53?

[IgnobleBasterd 161]

Been looking forever, and I can't seem to find a long range scope in 0.53. Can someone confirm they are still in the game? If so, do they still spawn in sniper towers and those smaller wooden guard towers at NWAF?

[IronSights310 1]

Yes, they are definitely still in the game. You can find them in schools, garages, towers.. Hell, nearly everywhere now. They just don't spawn as frequently as they used to.

Yes they are in game. Look at bars and corner cafe's thats where I always find them. Im on my 5th pristine. I gave the first 4 away to clan members.

I find about ninety.

Does this mean they are more commonly found OUTSIDE military areas? :S

The spawn rate inside a city seems to have become larger due to the vast amount of spawn points. So, the answer to your question is "yes."

They've always been more common outside of military areas.

The long ranges are pretty easy to find.  If there are cans of food around, then you will probably find a long range too, very common.

Not always. They used to ONLY spawn in military areas.

Yes, finding many in storage buildings with the metal shelving.

Don't think that's true!

Yep. Only used to spawn in barracks, ATCs, and tents. You could only find the PU scope in residential areas.
