Sniper Scope

Sniper Scope is a gun attachment that appears throughout the series, first appearing in Jagged Alliance.

Official description[]

"Extremely versatile, this scope is a desired attachment for some revolvers and most rifles. With accurate windage adjustment, a range-finder precision scale and coated optics, it significantly improves accuracy." - Jagged Alliance

"This scope that can be attached to most rifles, significantly improves targeting with its accurate windage adjustment, range-finder precision scale, and its coated optics." - Jagged Alliance 2

Benefits[]

Effective range to target is decreased by 20% for every level of aiming (each Action Point of extra aim devoted to the shot.)

For example, if a minimum AP cost to shoot from a firearm is 10, spending 2 Action Points to fire, the shot will have 40% decrease in the sight range.

Types[]

Some sequels and mods of Jagged Alliance 2 offer different types of scopes, suitable for different purposes.
