Caliber devs have been teasing 3D scopes for a while now and they are coming soon but here is the actual explanation why they are such a big deal.

1C Game Studios have been teasing 3D scopes for Caliber for at least half a year now but if you are confused about why they are so important here is a quick rundown.

Even though the devs will tout certain improvements as the highlight of the update, such as better representation of the player's current action, seeing the weapon's camo and lighting effects or new potential customisation options in the future, the best thing for the average player will be none of those things.

Instead, it is all about clarity.

Namely, when the 3D scopes arrive, they will be clear and will not have things that mess with the visibility, such as fingerprints or dirt. As you can see on the header image, the new scope will be completely clear, allowing you to see enemies through it better.

On the flip side, the enemies will also get better scopes so it will not be an advantage for just one side, provided you picked the right operator.

Not everyone will get the 3D upgrade in the same patch, with only 49 operators having them on launch day:

  1. Recruit assault
  2. Recruit support
  3. Recruit medic
  4. Recruit marksman
  5. Volk
  6. Almaz
  7. Ded
  8. Koszmar
  9. Mikolaj
  10. Prorok
  11. Sztylet
  12. Perun
  13. Svarog
  14. Travnik
  15. Rein
  16. Schatz
  17. Kurt
  18. Sputnik
  19. Bard
  20. Corsair
  21. Monk
  22. Plut
  23. Kit
  24. Karavai
  25. Watson
  26. Avant-Garde
  27. Velour
  28. Aphela
  29. Shersheret
  30. Eima
  31. Faro
  32. Matador
  33. Miguel
  34. Mustang
  35. Buggy
  36. Lazootchick
  37. Kaval
  38. Starkadr
  39. Freyr
  40. Yaowang
  41. Yingzhou
  42. Sly
  43. Fortress
  44. Bones
  45. Avalanche
  46. Martelo
  47. Barreira
  48. Acai
  49. Cacador

Presumably, the rest of the 3D sights will come in a future update as even some of the operators on the list won't have them for the default sight, only collimator and telescopic ones.
