Definition of «quickscope»

“Quickscope” refers to firing a scoped weapon almost immediately after bringing the scope up in a shooter game. The action depends on speed and timing rather than prolonged, careful aiming. Gamers often use the term approvingly for a mechanically demanding kill that looks impressive in a clip or match recap. Its tone is competitive and boastful, making it especially common in multiplayer commentary and gaming reviews. “Quick scoping” is the natural inflected form when describing someone repeatedly performing the technique.
