Sneak Sight

Sneak sight is an effect granted by wearing either the Riot gear helmet or it's superior version the Advanced riot gear helmet. These helmets belong to the Riot gear and Advanced riot gear armors respectively. It is not necessary to be wearing the matching pieces of armour in order to receive the effect from the helmets.

Wearing the Advanced riot gear helmet bestows upon the player the effect "Red Vision" which will be visible in the effects section of the Pip-Boy 3000.

Red Vision lists as it's effects: Sneak Sight and PER+2 Perception.

Wearing the Riot Gear Helmet bestows upon the player the effect "Red Eye" which will be visible in the effects section of the Pip-Boy 3000.

Red Eye lists as it's effects: Sneak Sight and PER+1 Perception.

Sneak sight gives the player low visibility sight whilst in sneak mode. This manifests in the colour being leeched out of the environment making the player's surroundings appear to be similar to daylight, albeit colourless.

When activating sneak mode, a soft mechanical whirring similar to a camera lens can be heard as Red Vision or Red Eye takes effect.

Whilst outside, the player's vision will appear to be as if in black and white, however when indoors, the player's vision has more of a reddish tint, & appears to be more like sepia. There is a brief delay of about a second after entering an indoor area as the player's vision adjusts from black and white to sepia, although there is no perceptible delay when switching from sepia to black and white upon exiting from indoors to outside.

This effect will cancel out once you exit sneak mode, although the Perception bonus of +1 or +2 will remain as long as the helmet is worn & does not require Sneak Sight to be active.

When the Red Eye or Red Vision effect cancels out, a blueish white haze passes across the player's field of vision obscuring visibility for less than a second as normal night vision & full colour vision returns.

Like the Varmint rifle night scope this effect only works from 6:00PM to 6:00AM (18.00 to 06.00) or while indoors.
