How to get Night Vision Goggles in Sons of the Forest

Do NOT use them during the day!

The Night Vision Goggles can completely replace using flashlights, lighters, and torches in Sons of the Forest. They don't have any prerequisites for obtaining them and can be found in a cave with no threats inside. Many other items can be found nearby, and for players who have already played the game extensively, this will be easy to pinpoint. This is where the Night Vision Goggles can be found in Sons of the Forest and how to use them.

Where to find the Night Vision Goggles in Sons of the Forest

East of the area where the Knight V can be found is a cave by a tiny lake where the Night Vision Goggles can be found. This is located on the Southwest part of the island, in between the areas where the snowy mountains and the grassy plains are. No other items are necessary to get to this area or find these, and they will be worn by the skeleton inside. When taking them, players can equip these at any point from their inventory.

The Night Vision Goggles can be found in the inventory above the starting equipment and flashlight. They require batteries in order to use and will automatically use batteries when they are low. They should only be used at night and taken off when going underwater or nothing will be shown from the blinding lights during the day or the reflective surfaces underwater. Using L will take them on and off, but they can be taken off by going to the inventory screen as well.
