Theia Magnified Scope
- The Theia Magnified Scope is based on the Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 8.5-25x50mm (30mm) M1 Illum. Ret with a Barrett Optical Ranging System (a.k.a. Ballistic CPU) installed.
- The Theia Magnified Scope's in-game optic is extremely simplified compared to the real BORS. The system, when paired with a magnification scope, would show indications of humidity, environmental temperature, barometric pressure and projectile elevation/depression for precise compensation, which the in-game scope lacks, though seeing as every sniper rifle in the game uses a hitscan system to determine shot placement, the other miscellaneous functionalities are likely not needed.
- When aiming down the sight, there is a dim "Y" above the "M" that stands for meters. This dimmed letter would stand for Yards, a different unit of distance measurement. Since the game only uses the metric system, the reason for this being there isn't exactly clear.
- The Theia Magnified Scope currently has the largest magnification in the game.
- In Greek mythology, Theia was the Titan goddess of sight and shining light of the clear blue sky.
- The method of obtaining the sight is ironic to an almost bizarre degree as it's intended for precision shots at long range and not for something that in reality would be haphazard to the point of being insane (i.e. Zip-line Rifling).
