FPV Goggles

Hardmode cyborg acquisition and camera control

Purchased directly from the Cyborg for 10 gold in Hardmode once Plantera has been vanquished. When equipped in an active accessory slot, the FPV Goggles switch the player camera view to an onboard remote perspective while operating remote-controlled drone vehicles introduced in update 1.4.5, including the Chonky Fishron RC system. This unique headgear transforms vehicular exploration into an immersive piloting experience across tricky terrain. The headgear functions during multiplayer expeditions where a designated navigator scouts ahead through catacombs while teammates prepare flanking positions.

Remote reconnaissance and drone piloting tactics

Wearing the goggles allows players to pilot miniature reconnaissance craft through hazardous dungeon halls, narrow underworld shafts, and dangerous cavern depths while keeping their character body sheltered behind solid blocks. The camera link transmits live visual telemetry, enabling safe scouting of concealed traps, unlooted chests, and enemy swarms without exposing the vulnerable pilot to direct damage or debuffs. Surveying cavern hazards in advance prevents premature deaths from explosive wire detonators and hidden dart mechanisms.

Trivia

• Introduced in Terraria 1.4.5 to expand remote vehicular piloting mechanics.
• Piloting RC drones with goggles active prevents surrounding enemies from targeting the vehicle itself.
