Controls
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Hold V | Zoom in 3x |
| Scroll while holding V | Zoom from 1x to 10x, x1.1 per wheel step |
| Release V | Back to normal view at once |
While V is held, the mouse wheel zooms instead of switching hotbar slots, and turning slows down in step with the zoom so aiming stays steady. Rebind the key on the mod's page in Options > Mods.
How it differs from Horizon's own Zoom
| Horizon Zoom | Classic Zoom | |
|---|---|---|
| Default key | Z | V |
| Starting zoom | 4x (configurable) | 3x |
| Range | 1.25x to 10x | 1x to 10x |
| Wheel step | x1.25 | x1.1, finer |
| Transition | Smooth by default | Instant |
| Settings page | Yes | None |
Both can be installed at once: they use different keys.
Notes
- Horizon caps zoom at 10x, so there is no 50x as in WI Zoom.
- Written from scratch for Horizon's mod API. Not affiliated with Wurst-Imperium.
- Some servers forbid zoom mods: check the rules before you join.
Now a native mod (2.0.0): the launcher builds it into the game (install it on the launcher's Mods page, then press Build there). Native mods are not sandboxed and run with your account's permissions, so read the source before you build it: it is one small bundle on Horizon's native hook points (key, wheel, zoom, mods list). Tested against Horizon 6f8c7a0e5d531d3834c4d0be4659a1db8e7e5c2a with Horizon Mixins 0d6b103c70633d8fd9443d8d0acd3aadaacedb06. A key set in 1.0.0 carries over.

Native code
A native mod is Rust code that the launcher compiles into a game of its own, the Native mods instance. It is not sandboxed: it can do anything you can on this computer. The launcher builds it only after a warning that names it, and a reviewer read its source before it was listed. Read the source yourself before you build it. How native mods work
