Where to Find the Night Vision Goggles

The night vision goggles can be acquired at the start of the game and do not require any other items to access them. They are located in a Jianyu Camp in the southwest portion of the map (1). After entering the cave, players will see a skeleton sitting in a chair wearing the goggles (2).

How to Use the Night Vision Goggles

After opening the inventory and equipping the goggles, players will see everything in a green hue (1). They will also see an indicator in the top-right of their screen that shows how much charge the goggles have. Conversely, when equipping the goggles (2), players will also see the charge under the item’s icon (there it is a light blue bar).

In gameplay, these goggles work well with sneaking past enemies in caves or dark bunkers. If you need a stealthy weapon to pair them with, look no further than the pistol with the silencer attachment.
