Battlefield V: 12 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

12. You Can Swap Out Iron Sights Immediately (And Add A Long Scope To Snipers)

One of the most interesting decisions DICE have made with Battlefield V is to once again not allow players to customise their weapons with new grips, stocks or magazines that alter their stats. However, each gun still comes with multiple options for sights, and most of them are available immediately.

This is a welcome addition, as a good chunk of the dated weaponry have obstructive - or ineffective - iron sights that can make actually getting a mark on enemies difficult. Likewise, there's a surprising amount of variety to these choices that gives you more command over these weapons, even if it does feel a bit odd to be running around WW2 with a holographic sight.

Also, it may be off-putting to equip a sniper rifle only to find it comes pre-equipped with a short scope that seems to go against the whole point of the class. Fortunately, you can immediately swap this out for a longer scope that makes nailing headshots across Battlefield V's huge maps that bit easier.
