Works with game version: 1.1.338
Installation:
Download and unzip the main file. Place the unzipped folder containing a mod.json, Paks folder, etc. into the Mods folder of your MW5 installation (discard the Nexus created folder that has numbers at the end of the mod name). You can go in-game to Mods at the main menu and click the Manual-install folder if you're having trouble finding it. Final install path should look like Mechwarrior5\MW5Mercs\Mods\advanced_zoom
Details:
Scroll down to zoom out
Mod Compatibility:
Advanced Zoom should be compatible with any other HUD mods, the only assets it overrides are for controller users so any conflicts would affect that.
Notes:
*Performance will decrease 20-30% when the scope is active, it's a UE4 thing. If fps drops too much, switch scope resolution back to 480p, try disabling RTX if enabled or download Simple Zoom.
*The scope disables post processing when using night vision as the filter makes it difficult to see, targets should still be visible, see screenshots

Alternate Download: Simple Zoom
A completely different implementation of zoom that follows the same method as 1.35x and 2x by changing the user's FOV. Very stripped down in terms of features. I still recommend this one because it gets the job done of seeing further and keeps things simple.
Mod Compatibility:
Simple Zoom should be compatible with any mod, the only asset it overrides is for Mech Switching for controllers.

Notes:
*Changing between first and third person resets to 2x if at 4x or 8x
*For Joystick/Controller users, FOV scaling in UE4 apparently only works for mouse, so your sensitivity will be the same as 1x. This is a vanilla UE4/MW5 thing. Advanced Zoom has a separate sensitivity system that I wrote which should work for Joystick/Controller. I'm probably not going to implement one for Simple Zoom.

- No performance overhead
- Nightvision works
- Sensitivity already implemented due to FOV scaling (check notes for Joystick/Controller users)
- Uses scroll wheel only (increase/decrease zoom) with mouse and keyboard
- Controller support (untested) should use cycle zoom when a controller is detected
- Joystick (untested) should also be able to use increase/decrease zoom
- Optional 8x, disabled by default
Mod Compatibility:
Simple Zoom should be compatible with any mod, the only asset it overrides is for Mech Switching for controllers.
