chili1496 10 Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Got a 9v battery currently showing as in pristine condition, if i put this battery into my pso-1 scope the reticle does not light up orange/red it remains black, is this a glitch or is the battery dead, if its dead why is it pristine? does it actually matter if this scope has a battery or not? thanks Edited April 13, 2019 by chili1496 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lex__1 168 Posted April 13, 2019 I did not encounter such a problem, and I never received a worn out battery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if you can still do that. Edited April 13, 2019 by eno Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure if you can still do that. We don't have vaulting, throwing, fractures or proper survival mechanics. DO you really think the devs are capable adding licking batteries to the game? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

odin_lowe 3686 Posted April 14, 2019 I've been using lots of batteries in radios, light sources and scopes, and they run out pretty quickly in light sources and radios, but so far I haven't run out of power using them for scopes. Yes, the PSO uses a battery to get the reticle red. It means the battery you are using is dead/flat. Could it be you used an old battery that was in another item that drained it? Or you've been using your scope a lot and this for a while now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WOLVERlNES 135 Posted May 14, 2019 This happened to me recently, I had to source new 9V batteries because my scopes an flashlights weren’t working. They had all died, but their condition was still labeled green and said pristine. Would be helpful if devs had the battery life marked like water resources in % charged and their circle condition color degrade as battery life wanes.
