INFRARED GOGGLES; LOL or...?

Whose using these & why?

[StoriesBonesTell]

helps with face huggers but not a competitive pick

Also highlights the ones in Stasis which can be useful on especially dark maps or else you'll be pixel hunting.

But if you're having your brightness/gamma upped for sweaty fps gaming, you don't need it.

It make things easier trust me because you can see all stasis or egg behind unexplored room so you can plan your next move

Good for spotting eggs behind doors.

Also good later on in the campaign for checking if an incoming target is human or xeno. Humans can be quickly shot in the face and moved on from, whereas you may want to wait for a xeno to pass and avoid the needless aggression.

As said by others, it's not the most compelling pick (You certainly want the suppressor for the rifle first) but it's not terrible in the mid game when enemy types start getting mixed.

wait till you get those late missions with no tracker in full darkness, you'll be glad you have picked that upgrade, just to get an idea if there is anything around you.
