+Zoom Mods.... Can We Make Them More Useful?.....

can the +Zoom mods increase accuracy/reduce spread while we "ADS" or even reducing recoil, as when people do "ADS" in most shooters they brace the gun against their shoulder and actually use the sight on the gun(which is where the reduced recoil or increased accuracy would come in)

 

my two cents.......... as the only "use" these "zoom" mods have are for slot fillers on secondaries(Lex or Lex P. with a mini sniper scope anyone?)

Makes sense. Although I think it'd be a lot better if the sniper rifles didn't have this whole scope-in thing by default, only when you equip a zoom mod, which could be made into something more useful if they'd add a special mod slot for certain underused weapons (secondary semi-auto pistols and primary sniper/semi-auto rifles) just like auras and stances, giving them extra mod capacity while also enabling the whole scope feature. Personally I never got used to the whole scope thing, I always liked the old sniper rifles.

zoom mods should have vision enhancement when u use them in zoom mode, a filter that cleans up the zoom but not a overlay or thermal vision 

 

something that cuts out all the graphical effects of teammates/npc attacks and powers while your zoomed with that mod equipped 

 

then we can see what we are aiming at for once

The only real use +zoom mods currently have are for sentinels, as they'll actually increase the range at which sentinels will begin to attack.

 

Otherwise, yeah, they're pretty useless.

DE should have left it optional in the first place.

Thankfully I held off my formas, otherwise I would have wasted forma on a SV that I could not stand to use.
