The night vision is very immersive with the digital filter attachment, which uses 3 loadout attachments/points (max is 20 in PvP, max is 30 in co-op), but it costs no attachments to use a green, white, or amber phosphor on the goggles.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Support: Specializing in heavier weapons like LMGs for suppressive and powerful fire.
