    Sniper Challenge Cannot zoom

    Hi, its not that game breaking issue, but for some reason I cannot zoom in during the Sniper challenge. I have tried assign the zooming control to the original, (RMB) tried to other ( I have 5 button mouse) but it wont react. Since I cannot zoom its is nigh impossible to shoot the birds as understandable. It DOES work during normal gameplay without any problems, even done a Sniper Hunting quest and had no problems. Kind of annoying. I'm just interested if anyone else had this problem, or I'm alone. Thanks for replies.

    You sure you are using the sniper that allows a zoom scope? It needs to be equipt to be able to zoom.

    Besides it's piss easy to get the bird kills without zooming

    Are we talking about the same game? The Sniper Challenge provides you the sniper gun. And no, its not easy to hit the birds with an aiming cross spread as wide as planet, perhaps you are using a gamepad with aim support for kiddies, I dont. Thanks for useless comment.

    My apologies for the Necro post, but i think my answer could be useful to other players, i had the same issue and i found the solution, the reason because you cannot zoom in the sniper challenge is because the game pretend you use the default key assigned for zoom, that in PC version is Right Mouse button, in console i dunno, so whatever key you have binded for zooming, in this challenge try to use the default key assigned from the game and you'll be able to zoom, cheers.
