Extra Info:
night-vision goggles

A pair of oddly shaped goggles.

Perfect

Night-vision gogles 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 Vantabuds or Vantablooms. The radius of night vision can be increased by 30% by overloading the night-vision goggles.[1] 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 booted-up night-vision goggles is that the player or creature wearing them takes up to 25% additional damage from light- or laser-based attacks. The damage amplification formula for such attacks is Damage * 5 / 4, rounded down.[2]

Night-vision goggles render Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path visible.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • The additional viewing distance is helpful for ranged combat and spotting faraway threats in underground environments.
  • 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.
  • The green color may be disabled in the Options screen ("disable full-screen color effects").
