The Thermal Scope in the Roblox hunting simulator Hunting Season, developed by Josima Studios, is a rifle attachment purchased as an account game pass. Priced at 379 Robux, it provides visual animal detection by outlining targets across both daytime and nighttime hunts. Unlike standard hunting scopes or binoculars, it highlights full animal models through brush and foliage, making tracking and long-distance target acquisition significantly faster.
Thermal Scope Price and Game Pass Details
The Thermal Scope is sold as a permanent game pass under the official experience page and in-game shop for [🐶DOGS] Hunting Season [BETA]. It ranks as the second most expensive pass in the title, priced just below the Permanent ATV.
| Game Pass | Robux Price | Official Functionality |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent ATV | 399 | Grants lifetime access to a personal ATV at all outposts |
| Thermal Scope | 379 | Adds a thermal optic attachment to compatible rifles for day and night hunts |
| Enhanced Hunter | 239 | Displays animal rarity chances, trail distance, and faster weight/variant detection |
| Hunting Towers | 149 | Unlocks map-wide hunting towers for elevated vantage points |
Purchasing the pass unlocks the optic permanently across your account. If you purchase the pass while already inside an active server, you must leave and rejoin the server for the inventory system to recognize the transaction.
How to Equip the Thermal Scope
Equipping the Thermal Scope requires visiting an outpost gunsmith or gun store after the pass is active on your profile.
- Open the gun store menu at any outpost or reserve entrance.
- Select your desired rifle from your owned weapons.
- Click on the weapon's optic or scope customization slot.
- Toggle through the available optics until the Thermal Scope appears.
- Select and confirm the attachment to equip it to the rifle.
Weapon compatibility is restricted by class. Video testing confirms the thermal optic mounts to rifles such as the .30-06 Ruger American and the Striker. Shotguns cannot mount the Thermal Scope.
Visual Display and In-Game Performance
Looking through the scope switches the player view to a high-contrast grayscale sight picture centered by red crosshairs.
- Day and night visibility: The official item description specifies that the optic functions in daylight as well as darkness. In-game testing demonstrates that sunny environments maintain clean visibility, while night hunts, such as tracking leopards in Fazbear Valley, benefit heavily from the high-contrast silhouettes.
- Full-body animal outlines: When an animal enters the active detection threshold, the thermal feed highlights the entire creature. It outlines game animals through brush, heavy tall grass, and tree lines. It does not provide an anatomical x-ray of specific organs or lungs, meaning players must still aim based on standard animal anatomy to strike internal organs.
- Downed game recovery: The thermal highlight continues to function on dead harvests. If an animal runs after taking flesh damage or a lung shot and falls out of view, scanning the tree line with the optic helps locate the carcass before harvest despawn timers expire.
- Detection quirks: Player testing shows small game, including coyotes, can occasionally fail to highlight properly at maximum draw distances until the player closes the gap or the model fully renders.
- Reticle locking: The optic currently acts as an all-or-nothing attachment. There is no in-scope toggle button to switch back to normal optical glass while keeping the scope mounted; removing the thermal view requires visiting a gun shop to swap optics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the thermal scope be equipped on shotguns?
No. In-game testing confirms the thermal attachment cannot be placed on shotguns. It is strictly limited to rifles.
Does the thermal scope work during the daytime?
Yes. The official pass description confirms the optic works in day or night conditions. Testing shows animal silhouettes highlight clearly in direct daylight.
What should you do if the scope does not show up after buying it?
Rejoin the server. Roblox game passes bought during an active game session require a reconnect before outpost stores refresh your inventory permissions.
Does the scope highlight internal organs?
No. The optic highlights the exterior body of the animal in high contrast. It does not display a transparent view of internal organs or bones.
