crcantos@gmail.com 7 Posted August 16, 2012 Because you are god of the night when you have them and a giant target to those who don't. And the gamma trick is fucking cheating. Not that I'm complaining about their advantage, I'm just saying LIMIT it so its not like hacker esp. NVGs run out of power all the time IRL. ESPECIALLY during combat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rambo66 4 Posted August 16, 2012 It's hard enough to get the goggles as it is, it would suck to spend so much time finding the goggles themselves, THEN have to find batteries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cannon15 4 Posted August 16, 2012 NVGS are (One of the hardest) Items in the game already just wait for the hackers to be fixed finding batteries would have to be pretty common because they would be every where but other then that I think this is a terrible idea.

Freefall552 26 Posted August 16, 2012 I see your point. But batteries would last several hours and it would be easy to replace since NVGs ain't that rare. So it wouldn't make much of a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kryvian 123 Posted August 17, 2012 batteries seem as a logical next patch. they should be very common in markets, tents, office and apartment complexes.the watch doesn't use batteries, it's spring based. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daerk 8 Posted August 17, 2012 I like the idea of implementing battery requirements for logical equipment...In addition, a portable solar panel battery charger would come in very handy with rechargeable batteries... -- Daerk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaysGoodLiquor 93 Posted August 17, 2012 I was a little upset to see that you don't start hallucinating after wearing night vision for an extended period of time. That's the crappiest part about NVGs in the real world, but it takes 5+ hours to kick in. It would be pretty cool if wearing NVGs for 30 minutes straight made you see shadows move around or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
