Wow...Goggles are useful again!

[Niered]

Apologies if this is common sense, but I dont think many of you know this.

So today im fighting Onmagoug at the new party mission in the Agata islands, and, being the amazing Newm Fortegunner I am, I pull out my Phantom with lv. 20 Ice bullets and start nailing him in the wings with the FPS mode. Ok mebbe not amazing, but common sensical at the very least.

So as Im doing this a member of our party says something and i miss it, so I try bring up the chat log, which on my 360 Controller linked to my PC is left bumper, and i accidentally hit the left trigger instead.

My goggles activate.

And at first i think its just some wierdo glitch in the FPS mode, but I try it again, with a different weapon, and it works again! I told everyone in my party at the end of the fight my newfound discovery, and was greeted by "WOW"s "LOL"s and the odd "HUH?!".


So basically, heres the info im relating to you. IF you have the goggles, simply go into first person, and tap the Left Trigger. You'll go into Goggle mode, and never even have to equip the silly things! Meaning that instead of taking up one of your action pallete spots, or even not using them at all, you can do this. Hope it helps you all out.

good info thanks!

Yup. You guys got a new system patch that came with Ultimate Attack. For us, this is essential since it lets us arm the eraser with the goggles simulaneous.

Edit: they got rid of the palette condition

Interesting. I guess it's not told since there is no Eraser to use yet.

This is a godsend. One of the worst parts of SEED missions was the taking up of two slots, and the switching in between of them. And now, I can take down trees without much hassle.

It was one of the unlisted changes in the March 2nd update.

Just go into FPV and press the secondary weapon button like if you were trying to switch to using your handgun to shoot. You'll switch your goggles on/off.

Based on a little experimenting, it seems that for the PC, it will work as either:

FPS + 2nd Wep
FPS + Strafe/Target Lock
