The Range Finder in Battlefield (BF) is an attachment mainly for sniper rifles, used to automatically zero your scope to the exact distance of the target, which helps account for bullet drop over long distances. How to Use the Range Finder in Battlefield:
- First, unlock the Range Finder attachment by reaching the required mastery level with the sniper rifle (e.g., Rank 4 with M2010 ESR).
- Equip the Range Finder in the sniper rifle's Right Accessory slot.
- In a match, aim down the sights at your target.
- Hold down the D-pad down button on a console or press and hold the B key on PC.
- While holding the button, the Range Finder will calibrate your scope automatically to the distance you're aiming at.
- The calibrated zeroing distance will be shown on your screen (usually near ammo count).
- This automatic zeroing helps you hit targets more easily at various distances without manually adjusting for bullet drop.
Note:
- The Range Finder uses attachment points (e.g., 10 points), so balance your loadout accordingly.
- Without it, you can manually adjust zeroing by pinging the target and adjusting in increments (100m by default).
- The Range Finder is helpful for long-range sniping to increase accuracy, especially on moving targets.
In summary, equip the Range Finder, aim at your target, and hold down the zeroing button (D-pad down on console or B key on PC) to let it automatically adjust your scope for bullet drop and range, making long-distance shots more accurate.
