Night Vision Goggles

The Night Vision Goggles in Rust are an essential gear piece for players needing to see in the dark. They work by projecting and amplifying infrared light, which illuminates dark environments, allowing the user to spot animals, enemies, and valuable resources during nighttime operations. These goggles are powered by rechargeable batteries, which can be refueled at a Level 2 Workbench, ensuring you always have night vision capability when you need it.

However, it's important to note that the Night Vision Goggles cannot be worn simultaneously with a helmet, so players must choose between head protection and enhanced vision. Adaptability is key — switch between goggles and helmet based on the immediate threat level.

For optimal use, consider carrying an extra set of charged batteries, especially for longer nighttime missions. Since vision is limited to the infrared spectrum, be vigilant, as the goggles do not provide full visual clarity. Lastly, beware of overreliance on Night Vision Goggles, as the bright light of dawn or a well-placed enemy torch could blind or give away your position.
