Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – How to Toggle Night Vision Goggles

April 14, 2023 by Matt Villei

A new twist on multiplayer!

With the start of Season 3 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the game received two new Core maps with one of them bringing the Night Vision mechanic that was present in the game’s predecessor, 2019’s Modern Warfare. This new map called Black Gold takes place during the middle of the night and gives players Night Vision Goggles that can be toggled on and off whenever the player feels like it. This is important to know because while the outside part of the map is under the cover of darkness, the interiors found throughout the map can be lit, making it extremely hard to see when the goggles are equipped. The mechanic is very simple but players might miss the tooltip the game gives them on how to use the goggles, so allow me to help! This guide will explain how to toggle the Night Vision Goggles in the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2.

How To Toggle The Night Vision Goggles In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

At the time of writing, Black Gold is the only multiplayer map that utilizes the Night Vision Goggles, but this will likely work the same way if any other night maps are added in the future and this guide will be updated if changed. Players can toggle the Night Vision Goggles on and off by pressing down on the D-Pad on consoles or on a controller and by pressing the N key on PC by default. This can be changed by going into the Key Binds menu on PC. Pressing the toggle will play a short animation that will stop players from aiming down sights for about a second, so be aware when you decide to take the Night Vision Goggles off or put them on.
