📋 About This Mod
If you dislike the half second blackout when zooming in with a scope, then this mod will remove it for you.
Or try one of the alternate versions, which will instead reduce the fade in delay by 50% or 75% (don't use the main file with either of these optional files)
- Update
- Many thanks for the many endorsements and welcome comments for this mod I greatly appreciate it.
After a few hours of gameplay with sniper scopes, I would probably recommend using the 50% version. I personally prefer it to be more responsive instead of actually instant.
If you'd prefer to use angryglock's method though, then you can use the following values:
(The default vanilla setting is 0. 2500)
setgs fScopeEnteringFadeOutSec 0. 125000 setgs fScopeEnteringFadeOutSec 0. 062500 setgs fScopeEnteringFadeOutSec 0. 000001
For 50%, 75% and the absolute minimum setting respectively.
And if you'd like to remove another delay from your game, then add the following to your Fallout4Custom.ini
fEnterWorkshopDelay=0. 01
This will allow you to enter workshop mode at the press of the assigned key instead of holding the key down.
No Scope Fade In removes the blackout fade-in effect when aiming with a scope, providing a cleaner and more responsive aiming experience. This simple gameplay tweak is ideal for players who find the fade distracting or want a more immediate view through their scope.
