In theHunter: Call of the Wild, scopes are frequently used to track targets, but there are moments when players prefer a different approach. Disabling the optic isn’t explained within the game, leading many to wonder if it’s even an option—thankfully, it can be done.

Detaching the scope

PC users can toggle the optic by clicking the middle mouse button with their weapon drawn. Console players should press the D-pad Up twice and confirm the action (X/Square) to unequip the sight attachment. Though no visual cue accompanies the change, iron sights become available once the scope is detached. Reapplying the optic follows the same steps, whether aiming or simply carrying the firearm.

This adjustment offers alternative targeting methods for different hunting scenarios. Players might want to explore the game’s diverse environments, including recently added regions like Askiy Ridge, to test their updated loadouts.
