1) What the Swarmlord said. If you don't want to limit your close range vision, don't take the upgrade that does so. 2) It works more like the Spear Gun's lens thing, so your vision won't be that limited and 3) It's a sniper weapon, it's not meant to be effective at close ranges. If you want to get into close combat, use the Shotgun.
