Highlights
Thermal Goggles in Escape From Tarkov can be very difficult to get if you do not have millions in cash lying around in-game.
The item should be purchased only if you have all other weapons and other items that you want in the endgame.
Losing the goggles can feel devastating so you should put them in your box after scanning during gameplay.

Thermal Goggles in Escape From Tarkov are luxury endgame items that  allow you to identify targets using their heat signature. It is essentially a legal cheat that anyone can use and you could try to get a pair of thermal goggles as soon as possible. Getting your hands on a pair of thermal goggles can be very expensive and unless you are already in the endgame, you should not even go out of your way to obtain a pair. Here is how you can obtain your first pair of Thermal Goggles in Escape From Tarkov.

Obtaining Thermal Goggles in Escape From Tarkov

The very best thermal goggles in Escape From Tarkov are the T-7. Getting a pair of T-7 Thermal Goggles with a Night Vision mount can be very expensive and it could take you over 100 raids to even come up with the kind of money Jaeger needs to sell you the item.

It is not meant to be an item that everyone has access to and considering how overpowered wall hacks can be, players who have accumulated millions of currency can purchase it. If the goggles were cheaper, they would break the game. 

The price of the goggles fluctuates and we have seen the goggles become unreasonably expensive. The developers do not want it to be obtainable unless you are a hardcore player with ungodly amounts of currency at your disposal. 

Players quickly identified that they can use the goggles and immediately box them so they won’t lose them if they die in-game. You also have to consider the fact that players will eventually lose their goggles and they will exchange hands. You can get dozens of weapons for the same prize and it is not worth obtaining.

The only time you should consider obtaining a pair of thermal goggles is if you have an excellent arsenal of weapons and can afford to spend a chunk of your cash reserves to obtain a pair of T-7 Thermal Goggles in Escape From Tarkov. You have to be prepared for the possibility that you may lose the item to another player so purchase the item at your own risk.
