Can me get clearer night vision?
It's bad when you can see more clearly in the caves without them, idc the logic behind whatever gen they are I feel like they should be an upgrade to your vision and flashlight not a downgrade lmk what you think.

In caves or low light bunker areas, it actually does not seem to function correctly. Providing no increase in low light vision range and instead actually reduces low light vision range and add a green screen filter effect. In fact if you want to use the NVG in caves or bunkers, you would still need to pull up the flash light to see. But that would be no different from before.

Yeah, no idea why they are so bad. The first gen night vision in STALKER is better than these things. They should at least be an improvement on the lighter and they are not.

They have no idea on how to balance the game hence they just nerf everything into oblivion. You WILL enjoy your muddy night vision goggles and you WILL be happy

I’m not sure how they work in the game, but if they’re going for realism, then it makes sense. Night vision just amplifies low light , so in caves with little to no light you wouldn’t be able to see much, it doesn’t magically make you be able to see. If outdoors with good loom from the moon, you can see much better.

SOTF NVG are not even close to the gen-1 NVG ... they are a total piece of ♥♥♥♥, especialy if you wear tech armor on arms cause holding a gun put the led in the field of view.

Here is an exemple of what you can have with a smartphone : https://prnt.sc/c6rGGPNAQImz
