📋 About This Mod
A tiny mod to fix an Infiltrator pet peeve.
You now will not be kicked out of the scoped view when overheating a sniper rifle, and can scope in and out to your heart's content while waiting to shoot again.

Scoped Overheat is a small gameplay mod that keeps your scope active when your sniper rifle overheats, preventing the jarring zoom-out during cooldown. With 367 endorsements and 26,077 downloads, it's a popular QoL tweak for sniper-focused players. Last updated in June 2023, it remains a simple, effective fix.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 367 endorsements and 26k downloads — clearly a wanted fix.
- Does exactly what it says: no scope drop on overheat, which is a huge QoL win for snipers.
- Lightweight and focused — no bloat, just the one change you need.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in June 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects sniper rifles — if you don't use them, this mod is useless to you.
For sniper mains who hate losing their sight picture during overheat cooldown. Also for anyone who wants a tiny, focused QoL improvement without extra features. Skip if you don't use sniper rifles or want more comprehensive gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is still compatible with the June 2023 update — if not, look for a community patch.
- Since it's a simple mod, you can manually drop the files into your mod folder, but using a mod manager makes uninstalling easier.
- Test it in a shooting range or a low-stakes mission to see if the scope behavior feels right before relying on it in combat.
