Another type of tools, however not taking up slots in the tool belt, are optical instruments. You can only have two out of three possible instrument with you, however one can be stored in the backpack.
 | BINOCULARS Where to find: civilian, residential, military buildings Rareness: occasional How to use: press [B] What to use for: Observe distant objects and call out targets for a sniper. |
 | NIGHT VISION GOGGLES Where to find: barracks, wrecked helicopters Rareness: very rare How to use: press [N] What to use for: Considerably improves sight during the night. Limits the field of view (monocular). |
 | RANGE FINDER Where to find: barracks Rareness: very rare How to use: press [N] What to use for: The range finder lets you precisely determine the distance between you and an object. It replaces the night vision goggles (it has a night vision function of its own), though it works more like the binoculars. |
