Rangefinder

The  is a distance-measuring device in DayZ Standalone. It allows its operator to measure a distance between him and the target spot via optical means, determining the distance to it within 1m accuracy. It is commonly used by snipers or sniper teams (a sniper and a spotter) for the purpose of zeroing shots from their weapons.

To be used, attach an Alkaline Battery 9V to the Rangefinder. Then, hold the left mouse button and you should zoom in. A red number bottom right of your crosshair shows the measured distance (see Gallery section).

The Rangefinder consumes 0.01 energy per second and therefore consumes one battery every 83 minutes of active use.

Trivia

 * During versions 0.59 and 0.60, the Rangefinder was unable to measure distances beyond 6 meters and always resulted in a reading of "6 m" (ground) or "7 m" (sky). Even under 6 meters there are inconsistencies. This rendered the item almost useless. This was fixed in the 0.61 update.
