BGMI Game Guide: How is Red Dot Sight Different from Holographic Sight?

Close range combats are at the core of Battlegrounds Mobile India. There are multiple attachments that help you have good control of the gun in close combat. There are 2 options when choosing a scope for close-range fights. These options are the holographic sight and the red dot sight. Both of these scopes might look similar but are very different essentially. This BGMI game guide will help you know the difference between both scopes.

Comparison

The red dot sight comes with a smaller or thinner frame size on the scope, which increases your visibility and gives you a better view to look out for the enemies. While on the holographic sight you would miss out on some details due to the thicker frame of holo sight which makes you miss out on some important information that could get you in trouble.

Since you use both of these scopes only during close combat, you will be missing out on some critically important information because your scope was in the way, kinda gives red-dot a huge favour. If you play FPP mode, holo sight has another disadvantage that you would obviously notice, when holding a gun with holo sight equipped it will lower your visibility since the scope is too big and will block your view. This gives us another reason to not use the holographic sight.

There is a huge discussion that says Holographic sight has less recoil, or when using the holographic sight on high recoil weapons such as AKM and Beryl, it will make you feel like it has less recoil and is easy to control. Which is a myth. There is only one possible explanation for that, the way they are designed, the red dot has a tiny dot in the middle while the holo sight has a bigger circle.

When you shoot, your gun bounces and shakes during that time. If you look deeper into the holo's crosshair, it looks more stable, while the red dot seems jumpier and less stable. The smaller radical of the red dot feels like it shakes more than compared to the holo's radical. So this might be the reason why most people find holographic sight easier to control even though the recoil is literally the same between both.

Recommendation

It is recommended to use the red dot because the holo sight's thick frame will hide almost all the important information when the scope is in the way of it. However, if you want to use holo sight because it feels like it has less recoil, and it is easy to control the sprays and boosts your overall confidence. Nobody is stopping you, you have to decide depending on your preference and situation. If you think using the holo sight on high recoil weapons will make it easier for you to control it, then it's a good thing.
