📋 About This Mod
I removed the scopes casing entirely and kept the lens.
The glare on the lens has been removed too (although artificial lights still have reflection on lens but it's not a big issue).
Take a look at the image section.
Custom reticle mods are compatible but you will have a black border around the lens.
I will roll an update with the default scopes once i have some free time, for now you'll have to do with my custom scopes.
You have to install them by pair.
Choose a lens then a reticle option (clear or not)

If you experience an issue go to the "%localappdata%\Helldivers2ModManager\Mods" folder and delete the folder
mod, it might fix your manager instalation.
The old mod manager is full of bugs and you should stop using it. Same for hd2mm.
Also, the mod works well with Arsenal, the new and improved mod manager. I
advise you to switch for it as the old mod manager is depsrecated now.
