Also I find when it does work, by the time you’ve worked out what distance it should be and you still aren’t ‘zeroed’ so still have to aim above or below then there’s no point. And also, I just don’t snipe very often 😉

We’re talking about the scout rifle zeroing distance modifier when you press down on the directional pad right (not sure what it is on PC)? I don’t touch it either. I find it easier to just use my own judgement to figure out how much I have to compensate for bullet drop, instead of guessing the distance and playing with zeroing. By then the enemy will be long gone from my sights. Plus, figuring out how much to compensate is a fun challenge!
