Night-vision googles are rare, low-tier artifacts which provide a high viewing distance (a 40 tile radius) in environments of any light level, but not those which are obscured by [[Vantabud]]s or [[Vantabloom]]s. The radius of night vision can be increased by 30% by [[overloading]] the {{name}}.{{Code Reference|class=NightVision|method=HandleEvent|case=BeforeRenderEvent}}  Unlit objects and areas within the goggles' radius will have their primary color replaced by a bright green.

A hidden disadvantage of wearing powered and [[Boot_sequence|booted-up]] night-vision goggles is that the player or creature wearing them takes up to 25% additional damage from [[Damage#Special_Elements|light- or laser-based attacks]]. The damage amplification formula for such attacks is '''Damage * 5 / 4''', rounded down.{{Code Reference|class=NightVision|method=HandleEvent|case=BeforeApplyDamageEvent}}

* Night vision goggles do not make the player more stealthy; most non-player creatures have night vision or a comparable ability which lets them detect the player in total darkness.
* Not carrying a [[light source]] does not make the player as stealthy as some may expect; most creatures can detect the player at the distance of 10-20 tiles even in total darkness.
