How to Use Night Vision Goggles in Sons of the Forest

Night Vision Goggles are kinda janky in the caves, so use a lighter, a flashlight, or a torch. In the forest setting, Night Vision goggles provide much more value. You can equip them from your inventory (also you can hotkey bind them). When you use them once, by pressing “L” you will toggle them on and off. Make sure to get your own Segway-like vehicle as well!
