Night Vision / Heat Vision Goggles / Wave Vision
Since the beginning of Third Echelon’s Splinter Cell program, operatives have been outfitted
with dual-purpose night-vision and heat vision goggles – an indispensable tool for covert
infiltration operations.
Heat Vision – Press right on the D-pad to activate heat vision
Night Vision – Press left on the D-pad to activate night vision
Wave Vision – Press up on the D-pad to activate wave vision, a mode that allows Sam to
quickly spot all electricity-using objects.
To access the inventory of weapons and gadgets, press and hold the Right Bumper. Use the
D-pad or the left stick to select the desired piece of equipment, then release the Right Bumper
to confirm. Then press the
X
button to equip and un-equip the selected weapon.
To switch quickly between the SC-20K and the Pistol, press the Right Bumper quickly.
SC-20K Rifle
The SC-20K is Sam’s main weapon. It fires standard NATO 5.56 x 45 mm
rounds. Each magazine contains 30 rounds. Fire by pulling the right trigger.
Pull it once to shoot a single round. Hold it to keep firing automatically.
Press the right stick to enter or leave scope mode.
SC-20K Scope Mode
While in scope mode, you can fire as usual. You can hold your breath to line up a steadier shot
by pulling and holding the left trigger. Sam can only hold his breath for a limited amount of
time before he must breathe again.
SC-20K Launcher
This attachment allows Sam to launch different devices, each with its own characteristics.
The launcher can shoot three types of projectile:
Sticky Shocker
•
The Sticky Shocker releases an electrical surge when it hits its target.
•
If you shoot a Sticky Shocker into a pool of water, the water and NPCs
in contact with it will be affected by the electricity.
Sticky Camera
•
The Sticky Camera is used for surveillance operations.
•
Once a camera is launched, the perspective will automatically switch
to that of the camera.
