How to Scout Distant Terrain with DarkZoom

Lining Up Your Perspective

When exploring new terrain or searching for structures, identifying landmarks across wide gaps can be difficult. DarkZoom Mod lets you scout specific target areas quickly using the command interface.

1. Stand on an elevated vantage point, such as a hilltop, tree canopy, or pillar.

2. Face the horizon or structure you wish to identify.

3. Steady your character so your crosshair remains aimed at the exact feature of interest.

Triggering Zoom for Reconnaissance

Execute the zoom command to assess the area:

1. Open the chat console.

2. Enter /trigger darkzoom and press Enter.

3. Use the 2-second zoomed mode to check for specific landmarks, terrain hazards, or builds in the distance.

4. If you need to pan your view or inspect an adjacent section, adjust your crosshair to the new angle and re-enter /trigger darkzoom.

Because the zoom effect lasts for 2 seconds and can be reactivated repeatedly, you can survey large expanses of terrain in small bursts without leaving your observation point.
