Knowing how to make batteries last longer in Outlast 2 will help your chances of survival. The longer you can make your batteries last, the more time you will have to find more, and the easier it will be to hide when enemies are nearby.

To make your batteries last longer in Outlast 2, only use night vision mode when it is absolutely necessary, such as when looking for items in extremely dark locations.

Use night vision mode to check new areas for traps, and try to take advantage of light within the environment around you. If you read this guide, you should now know where to find batteries in Outlast 2.
