2 Questions please - 1) what is Zeroing? 2) Sniper scope

[WalBanger 11]

Well as the title says:-

1) ZEROING - i see some wepons have the word zeroing in the description and someone mentioned it on forums, WHAT IS IT?? lol

2) How to use sniper scope:- I found a sniper but when i pressed my right mouse button it just brought it up like any other gun.... i was expecting to have a scope look (like binoculers)....

Or is this a "graphic error" in that it shows a scope but dosnt have one till i find it?

Thanks guys

Zeroing is far the distance 100 zeroing = 100m

and what gun have you found?

click the right mouse button, don't press it, AKA holding it, and you will zoom with the scope.

Sounds like that is not in fact, a sniper rifle.

i did several times, also my friend tried

and im guessing it was a sniper as it had the scope on the top.

Have u tried tapping left click first before u try aiming down it (careful with this: do it away from possible aggro and not pointing at anyone u know).

Well at the time i tried most things, if i remember right i Fired a few shots off and then right clicked to look at further away targets and then let go and fired some more.... then i held down the right mouse to look as far as i could (same as no gun in hand) and fired at range at the zombies...

I had fun wasting the 2 clips of ammos on the zombies but then dopped the weapon as it made no sense to me!! :( maybe it was buggeed or something :/

Wait...are you holding or tapping the right mouse button

Holding it causes you to basically squint, tapping is the scope.
