A IRNV Scope in reality (NSPU 3.5x)
3RDRANGERAdded by 3RDRANGER

An IRNV scope, or infrared/night vision scope, is a scope with night vision, that highlights heat signatures as orange. This is useful for finding enemies at night, through foliage, or other possible cover. It takes 3seconds for the IRNV scope to see clearly and getting shot while using the scope causes both the night vision and thermal signatures to be disabled until the person finds some cover.

Battlefield 3Edit

"An IR Enhanced Night Vision scope for low and no light situations, the IRNV scope can be steadied by holding the sprint button when aimed, or by using a Bipod."
— Battlelog description

SingleplayerEdit

An M40A5 attached with the IRNV scope is equipped by the player during the mission, Night Shift, in order to compensate the mission's dark environments.

In the last mission of the game, a Saiga 12K attached with an IRNV can be picked up from defeated PLR insurgents at the sewer sections.

The IRNV scope appears throughout the Campaign and Co-Op modes, and may be unlocked in Multiplayer for weapons accepting optical attachments, excluding the .44 Magnum, alongside the first Service Star awarded at 100 kills, the only exceptions being the AS Val, which unlocks the attachment after 60 kills, the G53 at 90 kills, and the A-91 and the AKS-74U, which unlock it at 125 kills. All weapons receive a 1× scope with a dot reticle in Multiplayer, while battle and sniper rifles receive a mil-dot reticle and a 4× scope in Single Player and Co-op.

Unlike other unzoomed sights, the IRNV scope sways when in use and, like sniper scopes, can be stabilized by holding the sprint button (LSHIFT (PC), L3 (PS3), LS (XBOX 360)) or using a bipod. The IRNV scope can be partially countered by the Spec Ops camouflage, causing only the player's vest to glow and not the rest of his clothes. Deceased players and destroyed ground vehicles quickly lose heat recognition on the sight and so targets appear fairly prominent, as little else shares the same color.

TriviaEdit

  • The scope was first seen in the Battlefield 3 Co-Op Trailer at Gamescom 2011, in which they were attached on the SVD, the M249 and the G3 during the co-op mission "Exfiltration".
  • The scope still functions as it had prior to the patches in singleplayer and co-op.
  • A good way to counter the IRNV is to wear the Black Spec Ops camouflage which significantly reduces the heat signature of the player.
