Will there be night-vision goggles or something similar?

[Lord Blade]

Something to make night missions less of a pain?

Actually, I think that could be kind of neat, having the green tinted vision through the goggles helping see at night, but the colour would make it hard to tell different alien classes apart.

Flares were fun for a while in X1, but after a while they just got old. Even the late game armor like predator and sentinel had limited vision when it was night time.

Like of all the alien tech they reverse engineered, night vision wasn't one of them?

Come on the aliens can see at night using their tech, why can't we after yoinking their technology?

The Problem is that we only can understand only the tech which workes like ours (about 50 %). The other 50 % devides in totaly unknown and guessing, because we don´t know the font and most importantly the use itself. If you look to the new XCOM-Series with Dr. Vahlen / Dr. Tygan and the Researchers we can only use about 60 to 70 % of the Alien-Tech.

The same is here. But we have a huge difference to X1, because X2 is implementing Armor-Uprgrades step by step. It´s working with the 2 Suits you get (Kevlar - and the Alien-Variant). For the others (medium and big ones) we have to see, because the Game is still in Beta-Phase and the implemention from Armor-Upgrades is in the Beginning since a while.
