The Binoculars is an item added in the Rocket Fuel Update. The binoculars can be used by both teams in Jailbreak. This item magnifies your field of view and can be used to scope out other players. It can be found in the Rising City Gun Shop, Crater City Gun Shop, Mountainside Town Gun Shop, Prison Gun Shop and the Military Base.

Overview

The Binoculars were originally among the rarest items ever used in Jailbreak, most likely due to a lack of usefulness. However, it would sometimes come in handy when looking for the Casino code, even being more useful than the Sniper Rifle. It would look far into the distance, but almost no players used this on a regular basis. The Sniper could do the same thing, but can also shoot an enemy player.

When the 2023 Apocalypse Update: Part 2 came out, however, the Binoculars, as well as the Flashlight, was ultimately fixed and revamped, making so that when used, it would be forced to be in first-person, and the Binoculars would no longer block your field of vision. However, when zoomed out in third-person, the player can still be seen with the Binoculars, a bug with the Binoculars that has not been patched since the addition of them. Additionally, a few other things were fixed as well, such as the icon of the Binoculars being made so it would fit into the icon slot.

Trivia

  • There is an unfixed bug that players can see themselves through the Binoculars if they zoom out into third-person view.
  • Before the Weapons and Items Update, the binoculars would automatically zoom in. Now, clicking activates the zoom.
  • By using Binoculars, players can view the entire map from end to end from a high altitude with the correct settings.
  • The binoculars only magnify the area of space where your device renders; if you wish to see something further than what your device renders it will not work.
  • If you die while scoping with the binoculars, you will lose the binoculars, but it will still be scoped in. Players can still use other items and drive vehicles. This can be fixed by resetting or rejoining the server.
  • There is a glitch where seeing through the binoculars negates fall damage, the glitch was found by MyUsernamesThis, a popular Jailbreak YouTuber.
  • This used to be free, but on the Fall 2020 Update, the price became Cash Icon5,000, and was only found in Gun shops and the Military Base.
    • However, players still could get it for free from the Radio Tower and the attire section in Police Stations. This was patched in Miscellaneous Update 86, making the Binoculars only available in Gun Shops and the Military Base War Room.
  • For quite a long time, the Binoculars had the "NEW" sign next to them in the Police Station Armories. This sign was removed in a later update.
  • If you zoom with the binoculars then manage to click the binoculars icon in your inventory, you will be stuck in binocular view. The only ways to remedy this are by either clicking the icon again or rejoining the server.
