[rabid_white_dog]

surely they could give us some..at a price..maybe then we could team up and do a two man sniper rifle team...

[DopeFresh]

just use a sniper scope...

[lilmoonpie]

That's one of the big things that bugged me about my really low-level secondary character. She's not even a high-enough level to have a light sniper yet, and I use my sniper a lot as binoculars.

[SpidersWeb]

PERVERT!

 

 

Actually though, I think that sounds pretty neat. +1 from me. Extended view distance, but you sacrifice holding a weapon.

[Maxxeine]

This would be a cool idea, but the map gets pixelated enough with the advanced scope on snipers. Hopefully on current gen this will be implemented.

[Black Terminator]

That would be something cool to have on hand in case you are onto of a building, hill and mountain and want to use those just for the view.

[Turkey Shenanigans]

Actually, binoculars were supposed to be in the game anyway. They were deleted late in development.

I've been wanting these since the game came out.

Specifically for Passive Mode.

Not that I ever use Passive Mode, of course.

Cuz I don't.

Not me.

Never.

ugh.

Let us use a portable telescope while they're at it. I want to go camping in my rv and look at the pixelated night sky through my telescope. Beats the current telescope usage of staring at other buildings.

Binoculars are in the game, they're used by NPCs, there's also those payed teleschopes and all that sh*t that you can look through and bwahahahah

 

 

Here lies what's left of my intelligence

If cops are near you when you use a sniper rifle, they will chase you. Binoculars would be an awesome addition to the game.

the f*ck are you bullsh*ting ?

[Furry_Monkey]

Yep, I want binoculars too. I was the first one to want them

 

And why is some noob making an effort to "pacifically" try and troll one of the greatest members of this forum? I suspect it simply won't work, but what a great attempt

[gizmonomono]

No, the binoculars would be useless. What we need is a thermal scope.

[Aby]

just use a sniper scope...

 

Seriously.

[BacardiBuzz]

Binoculars that actually see people further then 2 blocks (like the sniper scope only does) would be cool.

[8up local]

not sure about sniper team stuff, but it would be nice to have for passive IMO. there's been times i wanted to use the scope to see what was going on down the road better, but didn't want to go out of passive.

[BucketOfSloths]

How come the randomly spawning NPCs inside of Fort Zancudo get them, and we don't?

 

And yes I do like taking selfies with them, thanks for asking.

I have crushed so many of these guys when hopping the fence

[Sky_Light12]

there's fixed position of binoculars

in place of sniper scopes , i would use camera as zoom at close range

What I meant was, the player himself/herself cannot whip out binoculars and use them. That part was deleted before the game came out.

[DaCosta]

I want binoculars too!

 

Simply so that we can scope out an area without the threat of a sniper rifle being pointed. If someone points a sniper rifle at you, they are either watching you from afar, or you are about to have your head blown off. Binoculars remove that threat.

 

Binoculars could also come in super magnification, night vision, digital display etc.

Close, but no cigar. Give us this or GTFO...

 

[trippy bongos]

since even heavy sniper's range is terrible( I mean you can't see players unless they are in car beyond a short distance,rendering ),binoculars might not be useful

Alternatively though, binoculars - as they have no player interaction consequence apart from being able to see their light - could allow better rendering than the likes of a sniper rifle, giving them great purpose again!

maybe,it might be good in new console versions

I'd rather night-vision binocs like in SA, or thermal scope like that guy mentioned, would be cool. Or X-ray goggles.

True, but also I hope people aren't sniping me from the other side of the State in Next Gen, due to better resolution with the sniper rifle.

 

I mean, should everyone be able to snipe people from miles away? Hopefully they'll at least add wind so long-rangers will more likely go astray.
