Night vision is a mechanic featured in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. It enables the player to improve visibility in unlit areas or in outdoors area at night.

In Shadow of Chernobyl, night vision is readily installed on most suits the player can obtain. Several basic suits have Gen I, while rare and more advanced suits (mostly scientific suits, like the SEVA suit and its faction counterparts or SSP-99 series) sport Gen II night vision. Gen I provides only basic light amplification, resulting in a relatively low-resolution and blurry image, making this model near useless. Gen II greatly improves image quality with much better light amplification and higher resolution. Gen I night vision has a green tint, while Gen II has a blue one.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky[]

With the upgrade system introduced in Clear Sky, night vision is no longer installed by default on most suits, and instead must be upgraded by a technician. It is improved in comparison with its predecessors from Shadow of Chernobyl.

As with its predecessor, Clear Sky possesses two generations of night vision. Gen I is still supported by all basic armors, and has a clearer picture than in Shadow of Chernobyl. Gen II can only be installed on higher tier suits, and just like in Shadow of Chernobyl, it has a brighter, clearer image with a blue hue.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat[]

In Call of Pripyat, night vision can only be installed on helmets, or the Exoskeleton. Gen I remains green, grainy and low-resolution, with only basic light amplification. Gen II also has a green tint, but is noticeably improved with higher resolution of the image and much better lighting distance. The game also introduces a third generation: it reduces saturation from bright lights.

In addition of armor, the player can upgrade certain weapons to have a built-in Gen II night vision. The game also introduces two new attachments, the SUSAT Night x4 scope (compatible with the TRs 301 and Strelok's SGI-5k), and the NSPU-3 scope (compatible with the AC-96/2, the Storm the SA Avalanche and the upgraded AKM-74/2), which feature a built-in night vision similar to Gen II night vision.

List of armors with night vision upgrades[]

In Call of Pripyat, only the Tactical helmet and Sphere M12 helmet have integrated night vision; the former comes with Gen I night vision, the latter with Gen II.
