The Recon class is one of spotting and sniping, and the Range Finder is a fantastic tool that helps you gauge the distance between yourself and the enemy. This, in turn, allows aim correction and more efficient long-range sniping.
But the game never explains how to use the Range Finder, only offering it as an attachment. So, here's everything you need to know.
How to use Range Finder in BF6
After you've attached the Range Finder to your weapon, you can use it by holding down B on PC or the Down Arrow on Console. You first need to point your scope at someone or something, and the Range Finder will automatically adjust your zeroing to the appropriate distance.
The game never explicitly states how this functions, so I hope you're now up and ready to snipe people no matter how far they are on the map.
How to spot enemies in BF6
If you're playing Recon and using the Range Finder, odds are you're also trying to spot as many enemies as possible, near and far, to help your team stay alert to incoming hostiles.
To spot in BF6, you need to aim down sights towards the enemy, then press Q on PC, LB on Xbox, and L1 on PlayStation. This is only applicable to enemies you have a line of sight on, and will not appear to allies through walls like they did in BF1.
Recons can spot enemies automatically by aiming down sights at them, and do not need to press any buttons. Simply looking at the enemy with sights down is enough. With the Sniper Training Path, you'll also eventually gain another ability, which spots any enemy you've dealt damage to, further improving your spotting efficiency.
The Recon also has several tools to use for more spots, including the Recon Drone, the Motion Sensor, and the Proximity Detector, each able to spot enemies at a distance or nearby, depending on the gadget.
Spots usually last only a few seconds and cannot be spammed on most classes, but you can still double-tap the relevant button to place a red marker on the map that your allies can see and be aware of.
