In the Night Ops update, along with the day and night cycle we have introduced tactical devices to help players move, engage in combat and complete tasks in the Lamang jungle at night. For this purpose, tactical flashlights and lasers were made available to the players to use. A variety of different flashlights and lasers from different manufacturers can be obtained in the game, such as Surefire X400V-B-IRC and Zenitco Perst-4.

Tactical devices

Night Ops update introduced various types of tactical devices that can be attached to firearms, increasing player's fighting chances during night-time.

Types of tactical devices available in the game:

• Visible flashlights
• IR (infrared) flashlights
• Visible lasers
• IR (infrared) lasers

Tactical devices and their functionalities

Different tactical devices offer different ranges of functionalities. Additionally, different tactical devices of the same type may have varying effectiveness, for example, some flashlights shine brighter and their light cone is larger than other models, which may be beneficial in different combat situations and locations.

Visible flashlight

Visible flashlights, such as NcStar LED Flashlight, provide light source in combat to help identifying enemies and objects in the dark. Visible flashlights are visible to the player but also to the enemies, increasing player's combat capabilities but also alerting enemies of player's position.

IR (infrared) flashlights

IR flashlights, such as Surefire X400V-B-IRC, are only visible while NVGs are equipped and turned on, thanks to the NVG technology that allows users to see infrared light. IR flashlights provide similar light source to NVG users while their NVGs are in-use, but enemies that are not wearing NVGs are not able to see the light produced by these tactical devices, providing big advantage against enemies lacking proper equipment.

Visible lasers

Visible lasers, such as Steiner CQBL-1, shine a beam of light visible to the user, that provides valuable tactical advantage by eliminating the need to aim down sights or scopes, especially in CQB situations. This advantage comes at a cost of possibly revealing users position, as visible lasers can be seen by the naked eye, especially in dark environments.

IR (infrared) lasers

IR lasers, such as Zenitco Perst-4, similarly to visible lasers shine a beam of infrared light, but it is only visible to NVG users. This helps conceal player's position from under-equipped enemies, and provides avenues for more accurate shooting, due to NVG incompatibility with iron sights, magnified scopes and some collimators, especially in tandem with weapon canting. However, other NVG users are also able to see the IR laser of another player, so keep that in mind while engaging enemy faction PMCs at night.

Attaching tactical devices to weapons

Tactical devices may require additional attachments such as MLOK rails or light Mount V-Block and Rings to attach to certain handguards, that do not already have rails on them. Players can use mouse left-click on a tactical device, to find compatible weapons, handguards or rails in their locker, player inventory or vendor trade window. Compatible attachments will be highlighted in yellow.
