# Recon Optics

Binoculars and a deployable range-finding spotting scope.

**Recon Optics** (`ace_reconoptics`) gives players two reconnaissance tools. The **binoculars** support night vision. The **spotting scope** is a deployable model with range finding, night vision, thermal vision, and an optional waypoint at the ranged location.
