“You are a true friend of the night. Your eyes adapt quickly to low-light conditions indoors and when darkness falls across the post-nuclear wasteland.”— In-game description
Friend of the Night is a perk in Fallout: New Vegas.
Effects[]
Taking this perk grants the Low-Light Vision effect, increasing visibility in dark environments, but only during nighttime between the hours of 8:15 p.m. and 5:45 a.m.
The effect is not a gradual one, and its presence can be recognized by a colored tint on the game world reflecting the dominant color of the player's surroundings (most often light blue when outdoors).
Notes[]
- The effect given by this perk is not as potent as the similar one from taking Cateye or Ghost Sight from Dead Money.
- Unlike the similar effect when wearing the riot helmet and its variants, which only happens when crouched, this perk's effect is constant whether standing or crouching.
- Friend of the Night appeared in previous Fallout games as Night Vision.
- Contrary to the perk's description, the night vision effect does not apply indoors unless it is between the hours of 8:15 p.m. and 5:45 a.m.
Bugs[]
- The perk cancels out the effects of the varmint rifle night scope.[verified]
- Dead Money or Honest Hearts add-ons.[verified] Does not seem to work in the
