Zoom Actually Matters! Here's Video Evidence!
Zoom adds a multiplier to your range. Optics / Sights / Scopes help decrease the Damage Drop-off Over Distance Penalty, and the rare, Custom Optics Perk adds a pretty noticeable difference to your damage over distance. This is a mini episode, only about 90 seconds. Hope this helps when deciding what perks to roll with :) This is a follow up to my Range / Aim Assist / Accuracy video.
BTW: [u]If you hipfire[/u], you have [b]ZERO Zoom[/b], meaning there's a significant [u]range penalty[/u]. Ya.. Bungie really doesn't like hipfiring now. Strange, Halo used to be all about hipfire. Hmm
[u]All weapons have a base Zoom when aiming.[/u]
Shotgun - 1.2x
Auto Rifle, Fusion Rifle, Machine Gun - 1.5x
Hand Cannon (I believe Hand Cannon Zoom was nerfed at some point, so it could potentially be 1.5x), Pulse Rifle - 1.7x
Scout Rifle, Rocket Launcher - 2.0x
Sniper Rifle - 4x
So basically, hipfiring with a shotgun is like removing that 1.2x range multiplier. Damn. Also, shotgun handling was nerfed (handling is how fast you switch weapons AND how fast you Aim Down Sights). Ya, remember how the Snapshot Perk (Aim Down Sights 30% faster) felt useless? Now that seems important, huh? haha
If you have any questions, let me know!
This Reddit post has a lot of good (albeit somewhat outdated) info, which includes many zoom values / optics if you really really wanna know the numbers behind it: https://redd.it/2i75yk

Its also important to remember that range increases your aim assist values. Which means perks like custom optics can be just as valuable as having the right scope especially on a sniper.(custom optics can't roll on a sniper any more, but if you have an old sniper you may want to roll for it.)

3 RepliesEdited by Caboose: 3/2/2016 1:44:55 PMThanks for the post. Very informative. Now j don't know if to use armor piercing rounds or custom optics on my Treads. It's on my Warlock if anyone wants to see. Everyone saying it's obvious, scopes were obvious but not the significant increase of custom optics. Everyone thought that was a useless perk.

5 RepliesI remember fighting in PoE against the hive knight boss Urrox, I was using a fusion rifle and when I went ADS it would double the damage I was doing. Always thought that was strange.

1 ReplyThis was easy to notice in HoW if you fired on the giant servitor with a Pulse rifle in hip fire then zoom in. Or with any weapon, really. I never told anyone though, lol.
