In fiction, a sniper will almost always give their position in one of three ways: the sound of their Sniper Rifles firing, tracer rounds being fired from their weapons, or, in this case, their scopes giving off a huge and very obvious glint. This is often from sunlight reflecting on their scopes, but this can also apply to any form of light in general, such as from a nearby fire, streetlight, or even a Laser Sight that comes as part of the rifle. Thanks to this giveaway, expect the sniper to fall to a Scope Snipe from a counter-sniper, with the glint disappearing just as the bullet flies into their scope. Some snipers in fact see these glints as a reason for them to opt to use rifles without scopes instead, due to this trope making a scope Awesome, but Impractical in combat. Alternatively, the sniper can also exploit this trope to their advantage, by having decoys, usually an Outfit Decoy, fitted with a dummy rifle or light that replicates the glint produced by a sniper rifle, in order to bait enemies into attacking or moving to the supposed position, only for the enemies to be Lured into a Trap and killed. In a Sniper Duel, a glint from either combatants' rifles is enough to spell the difference between life and death. In video games such as First Person Shooters and Third Person Shooters, this is often implemented as one of many Anti-Frustration Features to counterbalance difficult enemies such as snipers. In Stealth-Based Games, snipers having their scopes glint is usually meant to help players either sneak under the watchful eye of an enemy sniper, or for them to stealthily sneak up and kill their adversary, or alternatively counter-snipe them if the player is themselves armed with a Sniper Rifle. It may also be a form of Acceptable Breaks from Reality, when a sniper's scope still produces a glint even in the absence of any nearby light source. Alternatively, this can overlap with the aforementioned Laser Sight, where the former produces enough of a glint combined with the laser itself that gives the sniper's position away. Related to Crosshair Aware, though in this case it's confined mainly to a sniper rifle's scope, or at the very least an optic. |

Battlefield has introduced this mechanic ever since Battlefield 3, where high-powered scopes, particularly sniper scopes, produce a visible glint from long distances. It has since become a recurring gameplay element in subsequent titles, with Battlefield 1 expanding this mechanic to include both sniper decoys and trench periscopes producing glints, the former to attract attention from enemies, the latter as part of gameplay balance. Battlefield V brings back the glint mechanics for both scoped rifles wielded by the Recon class as well as the decoys, but the telescopes no longer produce the glint. | |

Song of Susannah: Immediately after arriving in Maine from Mid-World, Roland and Eddie get into a firefight with Enrico Balazar's enforcers. It begins with Roland catching a circular flash of light from the woods and thinking, "in his experience only two things made that unique reflection: eyeglasses, and the long scope of a weapon." Cue sniper fire. | |

In the Sniper Elite series, enemy snipers' positions are always given away thanks to the white glints on their scopes, giving the player just enough time to react and place a shot into them. Sniper Elite V2: Unlike later games, which used audio cues alongside the glints to give away enemy sniper positions, this game had you rely solely on the glints to find and kill enemy snipers. If and when the glint faces you, expect to be killed in a few hits. Sniper Elite III makes this glint and an accompanying brief audio cue the only hints to give away camouflaged snipers' positions, who wear yellow and green foliage camo over their uniforms and pretty much blend into their environment. Sniper Elite 4 combines the white glint with a sharp audio cue, indicating to the player that an enemy sniper is not only looking at you, but has also spotted you and will potentially give away your position. Sniper Elite 5 brings back the white glint, now accompanied by a two audio cues, with the first indicating that the enemy sniper has seen the player, with the second indicating he is about to fire on your position and blow your cover. Additionally, in Axis Invasion Mode, the Allied sniper, should they be aiming while using a scoped rifle, will produce a similar white glint as both regular enemy snipers and the Sniper Jager (the invading player, should they also be aiming with a scoped rifle). |

The Division and The Division 2 both do this, even in low light areas. If the area's dark enough, the reflection looks more like the snipers strapped a flashlight on their rifles somewhere. Outcast snipers in the sequel take it even further, somehow having a scope glint while wielding bows! | |

Team Fortress 2: Sniper Rifles will always show a red/blue (depending on the team) colored glint where they're aiming shown in walls as a dot, making it possible to see if there's one awaiting if you look well. Unlike most examples where it's an external light source providing the glint, here it's the result of the built-in Laser Sight used in the rifle's scope. | |

Call of Duty: Call of Duty: World at War: During the Sniper Duel in "Vendetta", the German sniper faced by Pvt. Petrenko has his rifle produce a momentary glint that helps give away his position. The sniper, however, knows this, and actually exploits this trope against the player by having an elaborate Outfit Decoy fitted with a flashlight that replicates the glint found on his scope. Shoot the decoy with the flashlight, and chances are the German sniper will kill you. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: The locations of the Ghillie Sniper enemies fought in Campaign and Spec Ops mode are given away by the brief white glints of their rifle's scopes, which can be very useful in a lot of the harder Spec Ops missions.

You can see the light glint off of the scope right before Price fires. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019): In the campaign mission "Highway of Death", this can be used to locate the enemy sniper. Farah will even tell you to look for it. A feature added in the multiplayer is having Sniper Rifle-wielding players have their scopes produce a noticeable glint visible to other players present. An interesting detail here is that the glint itself is only visible to other players provided that the enemy sniper is facing towards you from at least 20 degrees to the left or right. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War brings this detail back, but modifies the mechanics on how it's seen. |

Medal of Honor: Airborne: The Heer Officer faced during the midway point of "Operation Husky" wields a Karabiner 98 Sniper Rifle that produces a massive glint that pretty much gives away his position to the player. This is intended to help introduce players on how enemy snipers operate, due to more skilled snipers appearing in later levels that have much better aim and faster firing rifles. The Waffen Senior Troopers and Fallschirmjager Snipers are notorious for having a Sniper Rifle capable of killing players in just four hits. To counter this, their locations are marked by a rather large glint in their scopes, not helped that they refuse to relocate from their perches even when spotted and fire tracer rounds that leave telltale white trails. |

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Indy, Henry, and Sallah are spotted by the German motorcade on a hillside overlooking their route by a glint off of Indy's binocularsnote If you pay attention, however, it's clear that the sun is behind Indy, meaning there's no way he would have any kind of glint, but it's still funny. The motorcade stops and the tank opens fire on their position, destroying Sallah's car. | |

Call of Duty: World at War: During the Sniper Duel in "Vendetta", the German sniper faced by Pvt. Petrenko has his rifle produce a momentary glint that helps give away his position. The sniper, however, knows this, and actually exploits this trope against the player by having an elaborate Outfit Decoy fitted with a flashlight that replicates the glint found on his scope. Shoot the decoy with the flashlight, and chances are the German sniper will kill you. | |
