The &#8220;Leg Meta&#8221; Approach<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #9ca3af; margin-bottom: 20px;\">Luminus wears heavy Class 6 armor on his chest (Slick Plate Carrier), but he wears standard cargo pants. Use a high-RPM SMG or a Shotgun with Magnum Buckshot and aim for the legs. Do not try to penetrate his helmet while you are blinded.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e5e7eb; font-size: 1.1rem; margin-bottom: 10px;\">2. Turn Off NVGs!<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #9ca3af; margin-bottom: 20px;\">This sounds insane, but it&#8217;s necessary. Approach the Lighthouse with NVGs ON. Once you breach the main door, toggle NVGs OFF (Default Key: N). Wait for him to turn on his light. His flashlight is so bright it will illuminate the room enough for you to aim without goggles.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #e5e7eb; font-size: 1.1rem; margin-bottom: 10px;\">3. Use Thermal Sights<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #9ca3af; margin-bottom: 20px;\">Thermal scopes (FLIR\/REAP-IR) are immune to the blinding effect of visible light. If you can afford the 500k price tag, a thermal scope makes this fight easy mode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 40px;\">\n<h2 id=\"xmodhub-visibility\" style=\"color: #ffffff; border-left: 4px solid #60a5fa; padding-left: 15px; margin-top: 40px; margin-bottom: 25px;\">Night Raid Visibility: The XMODhub Advantage<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">Night raids are stressful.
