No Night Vision????!!!!!!

[The Hague Awaits]

Is there really no night vision!? And as a replacement they gave us a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ flashlight? GSC please fix.

[IceMat]

Are you kidding me? There is no NV?

[steedless]

So you’ve found every headgear in the game and checked the upgrades of each to confirm this?

it's been two days and no evidence of nvgs, you'd think someone would've found one by now

google comes up with nothing too, i don't think there is one

You really expected to have NVG in the very beginning of the game?

[Cyrano]

I'm watching some late game streams without NVGs. Looks like they just didn't put it in.

Which, wtc. RIP. God I wish I could refund this, what a waste of $60.

i need one too i struggle with the flashlight hope we can get one

So far most of the items are mirrors of Stalker 1 items. I would be very surprised if the high level helmets couldn't be modified with some nice NV googles. In fact I'm counting on it - and the exosuits definately have to have those as well.

I'm always amazed when I run into people that are so obtuse. This litmus test of encountering every suit and headset in the game is laughable. The game wasn't finished on release. And it is ok to complain about that.

Thats not what he said. Read more carefully next time.

No NVG button in key binds menu tells you there is no NVG.
75% of the game you play in dark tunnels or night time somehow.
Enemies in completely dark rooms see you before you see them and shoot you while you still can't make out their outline to fire back.
Final mission has *THREE* railgun shooters zone in on you and keep hitting you while you have no idea where they are.

NVG was needed. They failed. Step back from OG trilogy here too.

I cannot even tell if it was ever planned to be implemented. There are mysterious grayed out spots on the armor upgrade screens but that is the only possible clue I have seen besides NPC's wearing NVG's. I am not sure if the devs have spoken about its removal or potential future inclusion.

I am playing against monolit right now, and those guys, except super aim bot, also see in the darkness. On one mission, when I was in wild island and meet some .... chads that wanted to steal my stuff, one of them actually had night vision goggles attached to his helmet, so there is model for it - why ffs it is not functioning? Is this another missing feature? I'm tired of playing with gamma at 70%, as it makes lumen really, really visible ghosting (it is ghosting all the time to be precise, that's why they made the game so dark - for players not see this that much). This game have so many temporary workarounds, that I am surprised it was released.
No a-life, no nvg, no RT, no optimisation and ghosting lumen. Ai in the other hand have no trouble noticing you through the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ walls, bushes and total pitch black darkness - at least give players night vision goggles.

Not a night vision thing.
Bandits spawning on you in the middle of the night see you through 8 bushes just fine.
Simple aimbot.

The tragic thing is, I FEEL the loss of night vision badly because I can't see where some f*cking enemies keep shooting me from. They move while they shoot, so at best I'm guessing, wasting durability\ammo if it's really dark :-\.

I've checked a fair few late game helms and suits, none have night vision upgrades. Which is kinda strange because there are sections and areas that very much look like having NV was intended. They either yanked it for some technical/lighting reason or they just broke it? I'm sure I saw a few pre-release clips of NV being used though.

[Nite69]

Yep they removed night vision completely, it sucks I miss it too
