Night Vision Goggles (NVG) are an equipment item in the Insurgency series. They are specially-designed goggles that help the wearer see better at night and in the dark, at the cost of a tinted overlay, a narrower field of vision, and greater sensitivity to light sources including flashlights, flashbangs, and flares.
In Insurgency and Insurgency: Sandstorm, NVGs are available to both Security and Insurgents, though Security typically has better and cheaper NVGs than the Insurgents. Insurgency: Sandstorm introduced multiple types of NVGs and multiple different vision tints.
Insurgency[]
In Insurgency, Night Vision Goggles appear as equipment on night maps for both Security and Insurgents. They cost 1 Supply Point for Security and 2 Supply Points for Insurgents.
Both Security and Insurgents use green lens for their NVGs, though Security's has a slight yellow tint.
