Description
Very simple mod that displays the distance to your target when zooming in on a scope/binoculars. Very useful if you do a lot of sniping and forget how far in you zoomed.
Requires
NVSE is required. UIO - User Interface Organizer is also highly recommended to the point where I do not support the mod without it.
Installation
Download with manager and activate the file.
Limitations
Works up to 14000 game units (200m), although in practive unless you are running ultra everything you probably wont get that far. Even though you can see land in the distance, it is not always something that is really there, and so cannot be detected for distance.
Any time you see 'signal lost ...' you are either looking out into space, or at an area the game has not actually built yet.
Adds a range finder (distance to target) on all scopes and binoculars. A simple, focused gameplay enhancement for Fallout: New Vegas players who want to know exact distances when sniping or scouting. Highly endorsed (6,632) and downloaded over 122k times, though last updated in 2014.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 6,632 endorsements and 122k downloads — this is a proven mod.
- Simple, focused feature that adds real tactical value for snipers and scouts.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most load orders since it only affects scopes/binoculars.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 — may have compatibility issues with newer mods or game patches.
- Only adds distance readout — no other enhancements, so if you want more scope features, look elsewhere.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who love sniping and want to know exact distances without guessing. Also great for roleplayers who use binoculars for scouting. Skip if you prefer a more vanilla experience or want comprehensive scope overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2014, check if you're using the latest game version and consider using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle installation.
- If you use other mods that alter scopes or binoculars, test this mod early in your load order to ensure compatibility.
- The range finder displays distance in the corner of your scope view — practice with it to get used to the readout.
