How to Get Binoculars in WARDOGS

A basic pair of Binoculars is immediately available in WARDOGS, without having to level up or progress in any way, and can be purchased for $75.
Each time you die, you will have to purchase a new pair of binoculars again, but you should easily be able to earn back any outlay you spent, as spotting enemies provides decent cash, with even more awarded if the tagged enemy is eliminated by a teammate.
As you progress, more advanced versions of the binoculars will become available, though these have a significantly higher price-per-spawn, as well as a hefty upfront cost.
The Monocular is the first upgrade, pushing to medium-range spotting distance, followed by the Range Finder, with high-level variable magnification and an accurate distance indicator, and the Recon equipment is rounded off by the Infrared Range Finder.
