How to get Night Vision Goggles in DMZ: Barter recipe

Season five of DMZ is here and alongside all the obvious additions, the bulk of the mode has had a refresh. One such change has been the items available to Barter at Buy Stations.

One of those items is the Night Vision Goggles which, as their name suggests, grant players vision in the darkest corners of any rooms or tunnels. They are an essential piece of gear for anyone willing to venture into the Koschei Complex, with the region’s Chemical Plant void of light. However, Night Vision Goggles are quite rare to find in the wild. Fortunately, this season you can craft them—and they aren’t too hard to build.

Getting Night Vision Goggles in DMZ, explained

There are currently two ways for players to get the Night Vision Goggles in DMZ, both of which are explained below.

Finding the Night Vision Goggles as loot

At this time, it appears as though the easiest way for players to obtain the Night Vision Goggles is by going inside Koschei Complex. Players can enter the underground bunker from these four locations on Al Mazrah:

• Taraq Road Bridge
• Rohan Oil tunnel
• Al Mazrah City parking lot
• Oasis ruins

After entering the Koschei Complex, follow the linear path to the Chemical Plant entrance and keep an eye out for the goggles. You’ll be able to find the goggles sitting on top of a desk or cabinet or on a shelf. Like with most items in DMZ, your chances of acquiring the Night Vision Goggles will come down to chance.

If you can’t find any goggles before you enter the Chemical Plant, you’ll be in for a bad time. Hence, it might be best to craft a pair before you enter.

Barter recipe for the Night Vision Goggles

You can also Barter for the goggles at any Buy Station on Al Mazrah. To acquire the Night Vision Goggles. The barter recipe for the goggles is as follows:

• One Aged Wine
• Two Emergency Rations

Both of these are easy finds in any of the cities or built-up areas. I picked up most of my necessary items from fridges scattered around restaurants and houses, but these items can spawn just about anywhere.

After you have managed to acquire the goggles, you can equip them by going into your inventory, opening your backpack, hovering over the Night Vision Goggles, and pressing the “Toggle” button. This will put the goggles over your eyes and give you night vision for any dark area you may be in.

You can take the goggles off in the same way you put them on.
