MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries - Game Mod - Advanced Zoom v.1.2.6 - Download

Advanced Zoom is a mod for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, created by Bobbert

Description:

Advanced Zoom adds a scope with 4x and 8x zoom options.

Installation:

Download and unzip the main file. Place the unzipped folder containing a mod.json, Paks folder, etc. into the Mods folder of your MW5 installation (discard the Nexus created folder that has numbers at the end of the mod name). You can go in-game to Mods at the main menu and click the Manual-install folder if you're having trouble finding it. Final install path should look like Mechwarrior5\MW5Mercs\Mods\advanced_zoom

Available ModOptions download for keybind remapping and other config settings

?Scroll up to 2x and it should switch to 4x

? Scroll down to zoom out

?

Mod Compatibility:

Advanced Zoom should be compatible with any other HUD mods, the only assets it overrides are for controller users so any conflicts would affect that.

Notes:

*Performance will decrease 20-30% when the scope is active, it's a UE4 thing. If fps drops too much, switch scope resolution back to 480p, try disabling RTX if enabled or download Simple Zoom.

*The scope disables post processing when using night vision as the filter makes it difficult to see, targets should still be visible, see screenshots
