Here is the full list of operators with access to the 1.5x sight: The reticle is a little messy, but ultimately it’s a great new sight. This change will hopefully make her a more appealing pick as she’ll be able to handle mid-range battles better than most defenders.Īs you can see, the sight is a little bulky and will block some of your peripheral vision, but it’s more open then the ACOG and other optics like the red dot sight. This is being added to a number of defenders and attackers, but most notably, it’s coming to Nokk’s FMG9. Below, we’ve assembled a really quick overview of the three new sight types so you can see how they look, which operators have had significant scope changes, and more. It also means we’re no longer picking operators solely based on whether or not they can equip and ACOG. It’s going to take some time learning which operators have gained or lost from the scope redistribution, but in our experience the change is helping to more clearly define each operator’s role. The 2.0x scope is means that some defenders like Kaid will still have some long-range potential, but significantly less than before.

It’s also replacing the ACOG option for a number of the game’s most powerful assault rifles.

The new 1.5x optic is designed to offer a little more range to operators who previously had none, like Nokk.

The 3.0x magnification still exists as a modified form of the scopes Gridlock and Capitao had on their LMGs – this time they’re mainly available on DMRs. Ubisoft has even changed the ACOG added two new maginfication levels, the 1.5x and 2.0x, and adjusted the zoom level of the ACOG so it’s now a 2.5x magnification, rather than a 3.0x. One of the biggest changes hitting servers with the Rainbow Six Siege Shadow Legacy release date is the arrival of three new sights and a global redistribution of optics across the game’s 57 operators.įirstly, no defending operators who still have access to ACOG or higher zoom scopes, except for Vigil, who can still bring the ACOG on his BOSG.12.2 shotgun.
