Nightfall night-vision combat
Nightfall adds low-visibility night fights where you rely on night vision goggles, and bright light from fixtures or flashlights can blind you while wearing them; thermal scopes and flashlights also help you find your way.
Season 2 introduced low-visibility night combat with NVGs and thermal scopes.
- Added in Nightfall (Mar 17, 2026). Low visibility requiring night vision goggles; light sources (fixtures, flashlights) can blind NVG users; thermal scopes and flashlights are navigation options.
TipCarrying a flashlight is now an offensive tool, not just utility: shining it at an NVG-equipped enemy blinds them. Mixed loadouts (one NVG, one thermal) cover each other's weaknesses.
