Not to be confused with Thermal Vision.
Night-Vision Goggles are a tool available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto Online. Equipping them modifies the player's world view to a greenish appearance, allowing them to see more clearly in dark environments.
Overview[]
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
The night-vision goggles share the exact model and HUD icon as the thermal vision goggles. After equipping the goggles, it is possible switch to another weapon and even drive vehicles while retaining the effects. As observed in the mission End of the Line, sources of bright light such as fire can obscure the player's vision while under the goggles' effects.
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Night Vision was added in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Heists update. It is used in the The Humane Labs Raid to raid the facility, where the power was shut down by an EMP. It can be used by the player by buying it from Ammu-Nation and activating it from the Interaction Menu. It comes paired with a unique black balaclava with 2-holes.
This function is also available with the more expensive Dual Lens Combat Helmets purchased from clothing stores and Vespucci Movie Masks.
To activate, use the Interaction Menu--> Style--> Accessories--> Gear/Helmets to equip, then follow the lower right-hand key guide to turn on and off. Simply unequipping it will also turn it off.
