We're finally getting binoculars

I hope they don't take up the sidearm or multi-tool slot.

They'll take up a primary weapon slot if you keep that attitude up.

Ratioed lol.

I can see the Ranger and upcoming Assassin, Hunter etc. use them. Why not also the Captain.

There's intense speculation on which slot they'll take. Read the comments or just wait for the reveal.

You have two utility slots. It will 100% take up one of them. You can have a multi-tool + binos, multi-tool + multi-tool, multi-tool + knife or any combo inbetween. Not sure why you would expect anything less.

Edit: Come to think of it I wouldn't be opposed to slotting this in on the grenade/flare slots. That would be a nice flexibility.

The whole idea of the armors (in the end) is about choice. I don't know where binoculars will fit exactly, but all the equipment we will get flowing into the game will have to go somewhere if you want it "ready."

Ammunition, firearms, melee weapons, throwables (offensive or utility), medical items, utility items, and whatever else will all vary, even more than now, per armor suit.

My desire is for the type and class of the armor to really determine focus and ability of the armor to serve a purpose. They want our armor to be like a "ship", where we can customize it to our liking? Go for it.

NOW can we have night vision devices?

Technically we already have night vision with the LL scopes, but I would like a set of flip down NVGs lol.

Binoculars are in!





You can buy them at Area18 weapons shop under Weapons. Currently just one-time zoom (less the F zooming).

That's a monocular.

Why isn't it just called an "ocular"?

Because that's already the technical word for the eyepiece of a microscope.

That is a rangefinder.

Have you tried what kind of slot it uses on armor?

Multi-tool slot. They had a chance to put it in the gadget slot under the backpack but I think even they forgot it exists.

Less than F zoom is a serious L.

It definitely had zoom in the videos they showed. It's basically a high-power rifle scope.

Looks like the Captain will lose his multi-tool. He shouldn't be using it anyway. Probably also the Ranger. But the Ranger needs it. They can put them in their backpacks.

I am waiting to see what Wikelo's version will do. People are speculating night-vision. If so, it'll be our first mandatory Wikelo trade. It will render the regular ones superfluous.
