When a Third-Person Shooter gives you a Sniper Rifle or another scoped weapon, aiming with it doesn't give you a crosshair in the middle of the screen. Instead you look through the weapons scope via first person. This is usually done since a third person crosshair only works well in close to medium range and has problems emulating the precision and long range of a real world high-power scope. This trope also covers non-weapon scopes, like telescopes, if used this way in an otherwise third person game. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })See also Camera Perspective Switch for when games give you an option of toggling the perspective regardless of the situation.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess normally averts this, seeing as the Bow can be used in either third or first person perspectives, but when using the Hawkeye mask, the Bow is locked into first-person mode so that the upgraded zoom-in can function properly. | |

Kingdom Hearts II briefly stops it's third-person action RPG gameplay when using Chicken Little's Limit Break "FPS Mode," where Chicken Little and the player fire baseballs and firecrackers together at any enemies in sight. | |

Downplayed in The Last of Us: You can aim a hunting rifle with scope upgrade, the El Diablo and the military sniper rifle in third person for medium range combat. However, you can also switch to the scope for long range shots, which puts you into first person. In story mode, the military sniper rifle is even first person exclusive. | |

Grand Theft Auto V Zig-Zagged. While the game is in third person, all weapons of the sniper class use first person if you aim. You can also place scopes on some other weapons, however, which allow you to zoom in without switching into first person. The re-release for 8. gen consoles and pc then finally added a first person mode even if you don't aim a sniper rifle. Looking through a telescope also puts you into first person. |

Sonic the Hedgehog (2006): Sonic's blue gem can be thrown at any location within the player's view and an invisible force will pull Sonic to that location. Unusual for a platformer, throwing the gem forces the player into a first-person perspective. When playing as Tails in, the player can throw "Dummy Rings" that explode upon impact with enemies. Normally Tails just throws it at the nearest enemy, but their is a first-person mode that allows the player to manually throw the rings if they see fit. |

Max Payne series - The game switches to a first-person viewpoint with sniper rifles as expected, albeit with the signature Bullet Time incorporated by having the camera follow the bullet in its path towards a target. Certain automatic weapons may also come with a first-person scope attachment, as seen in the third game. |

Star Wars Battlefront (2015) can be played either in first-person or third person, but even when in the third-person mode, using the one-shot Plasma Cannon will force the player into the first-person mode. This even happens when you use it as Nien Nunb, who normally can only be played in third-person. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess normally averts this, seeing as the Bow can be used in either third or first person perspectives, but when using the Hawkeye mask, the Bow is locked into first-person mode so that the upgraded zoom-in can function properly. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: The Skyward Sword has a dousing feature that makes it audibly beep as the player approaches their destination. The catch is, using it forces a first-person perspective on the player where they can't attack or use any other items. The final item to be collected is the Bow, the most lethal projectile weapon in the game, which has a first-person zoom-in feature that qualifies it as a sniper weapon. |

Star Wars: Battlefront 2: While you can play in first or third person mode, sniper rifles always shift to the scope while being aimed with. The Precision Pistol you can unlock also has a scope. Interestingly, if you play in first person, all guns have usable scopes when you use the aim button. |

Until Dawn: When the characters use the lounges telescopes or when Mike uses the hunting rifle the player sees through the scope directly. It is, however, unclear if the player has the same point of view as the character, as it is at least once implied that the player looked through a telescope longer than the character (Mike). | |

Almost all of Splatoon's Charger class weapons have two variants: one with a scope that demonstrates this trope while charging, and one without. The scoped versions have a higher range than their counterparts, but as of Splatoon 2, Chargers without a scope can store a charge while swimming in ink. | |
