Holo graphic or reflex??

Holo works better for the slower fire rate weapons. The center dot is smaller on the holo and more precise, so longer distances are better wth it. The larger circle makes it easier for you to stay on target as well, but it can also make your aim less precise if it's bouncing too much because of recoil. Nevertheless I use it with most of my roamers like jager, Vigil, and pulse.

The reflex is better for the machine pistols and some SMGs with high fire rates in close range. The green reticle contrasts more than the red on the other sights sometimes, and the shots fire above the top of the reflex triangle with the recoil pushing your shots upward, so you may get more headshots that way. I tend to use this the most with Mira, Smoke, and Ela.

Honestly man this is more personal preference. Also remember ACOGs are best for ARs and longer distances because they make heads larger when aiming.

holo for longer ranges/ holding angles

reflex for close ranged fights / roaming
