Vision Enhancement
From The Nameless Mod
By bleaching selected rod photoreceptors and saturating them with metarhodopsin XII, the 'nightvision' present in most nocturnal animals can be duplicated. Subsequent upgrades and modifications add infravision and sonar resonance imaging that effectively allows an agent to see through walls.

Canister details
Vision Enhancement is one of the options from an Augmentation Canister, together with Targeting. There are two canisters containing these in the game.
It takes up your Eyes slot. The only alternative is Targeting.
Augmentation details
Every level improves your eyes.
- Level 1: Nightvision covers about half the width and height of your screen, turning everything green but visible.
- Level 2: Infravision turns everything organic into a clearly visible white-ish being.
- Level 3: Close range sonar imaging allows you to see through walls.
- Level 4: Long range sonar imaging allows you to see even further through walls.
Usage and strategy
Nightvision can be a replacement for your light aug, since the enemy does not see the light. Infravision has a disadvantage that it makes it harder to identify friend from foe, since you can't see how your target looks like, and the green from nightvision conflicts with your IFF. It's still possible to see if your target is green or red, but you don't know who you are shooting. It can just as well be an innocent bystander who hates you. The sonar imaging makes up for that, since you are able to see through walls, allowing you to plan ahead, or decide to take another route.
