GUNNAR glasses usually take one of two routes with collaboration designs: they either add a recognizable in-game look to a practical set of screen glasses or create something that works as a cosplay collectible with functional use as an afterthought. The Cyberpunk 2077 Militech and Fallout Lucky 38 glasses land on opposite sides of that divide. Both cost $99, both come with worthwhile collector packaging, and both carry GUNNAR’s familiar screen-focused lens technology. But while Militech is the more convincing choice for marathon sessions at a desk, Lucky 38 is the pair for Fallout fans who want their real-world look to carry a little more Mojave flair.
Tech Recap
The two pairs use GUNNAR’s blue-light-filtering lens technology and G-Shield Plus coating, which adds anti-reflective and smudge-resistant treatment to the polycarbonate lenses. Boths sample arrived with the Amber lens and its 65 GUNNAR Focus treatment.
Amber remains the standard recommendation for players who spend long periods in front of a monitor and do not mind a warmer overall image. It produces a visible tint, so this is not the lens to choose if exact color work is the priority, but it fits the purpose of both of these glasses as gaming and general screen-use eyewear. GUNNAR lists the Sun 90 Neutral Focus lens as the only alternative for Militech, and there are no prescription options for that model. Lucky 38 offers a considerably broader range, including non-prescription Amber, Amber SunShift, and Sun choices, plus prescription configurations ranging from Clear Pro and Clear lenses to Amber and Amber Max.
That variety matters because the designs themselves serve different purposes. Militech’s wide two-lens construction is built to put as much of your monitor inside its field of view as possible. Lucky 38 takes the more style-conscious road with smaller, retro round lenses and removable leather side shields. One is the better everyday tool; the other is much more interested in looking like it escaped from the Wasteland and found its way to the New Vegas Strip.
Cyberpunk 2077 Militech
Militech is the second Cyberpunk 2077 pair we have reviewed from GUNNAR, following the unmistakably futuristic Dex glasses. Where Dex went all-in on a large single-shield look, Militech feels more grounded in Night City’s corporate military machine. The black frames, angular profile, yellow Militech logos, and broad twin lenses look like a modern set of tactical glasses, which is almost certainly the intended effect.
It is a much better fit for practical gaming, too. The extended lens design reaches further into peripheral vision than the other glasses in this review, making it easier to stay focused on a large monitor without constantly catching the edges of the frame. The bridge is especially comfortable, and the overall fit held up well during long sessions. At 35 g, the glasses are light enough that they do not become a distraction once the game gets interesting.
There is one fit consideration. The rounded arms can potentially conflict with a particularly tight headset. They worked without issue alongside the soft ear cups of my ROG Kithara headset, but players using a clamp-heavy headset may get the best result with desktop speakers or earbuds instead. That is not a dealbreaker, especially since headset fit is highly personal, but it is worth considering before treating Militech as the automatic answer for every PC setup.
Collectors also get more than a logo printed on a standard case. The package includes a Cyberpunk and Militech-branded microfiber pouch, a matching cleaning cloth, and a sturdy matte metal case similar to the one included with GUNNAR’s Fallout Brotherhood of Steel glasses. It is a strong presentation that reinforces the tactical corporate identity without turning the whole product into something too precious to actually wear.
Militech does not have the loudest design in GUNNAR’s Cyberpunk lineup, but it is one of the more usable licensed pairs. It still looks appropriately Corpo, just without sacrificing the wide coverage and comfort that make computer glasses worth keeping near the desk.
Fallout Lucky 38
The Fallout Lucky 38 glasses take a much more theatrical path. Inspired by the Lucky 38 Casino’s retro-futurist New Vegas look, these silver-accented frames use round lenses, flexible spring hinges, and removable leather side shields to create a pair that looks much more at home in a collector display or cosplay kit than in a typical gaming headset rotation.
That is not meant as a criticism of their comfort. At 38 g, Lucky 38 is lightweight, and the fit remained comfortable over long sessions. The bridge and overall frame fit worked well, so there is no issue with these being difficult to wear. The compromise is coverage. Small round lenses simply do not take in as much of a monitor or peripheral view as a larger wraparound design, and Lucky 38 makes that limitation especially apparent next to Militech.
The leather side shields do not solve that practical problem for me. They are easy to remove, and I took them off immediately because they cut off too much peripheral vision while gaming without adding much to the look. That is a subjective design preference, not a flaw in the execution. For cosplay or display purposes, the side shields give the glasses an extra layer of wasteland character, and collectors will likely appreciate having the option. For everyday play, though, I preferred the cleaner look and more open peripheral view without them.
GUNNAR again does a good job with the extras. Lucky 38 ships with a collector microfiber pouch, a retro New Vegas-style cleaning cloth, and a genuinely nice leather snap case that feels more premium than a generic glasses sleeve. It complements the casino-inspired presentation well and gives Fallout fans a more complete package for the $99 price.
Lucky 38 is therefore best understood as a collectible pair of functional screen glasses rather than the most capable monitor-first option in GUNNAR’s range. They wear comfortably, they look excellent if the retro Vegas style appeals to you, and the included case makes them feel appropriately special. Just don’t expect their smaller lenses to disappear at the edges of your vision during a long gaming session.
Final Thoughts
The Cyberpunk 2077 Militech and Fallout Lucky 38 demonstrate how differently GUNNAR can approach a licensed pair of glasses. Militech is the more practical recommendation for gamers. Its comfortable bridge, light frame, broad twin lenses, and better peripheral coverage make it the pair I would reach for while settling into a long PC session. The only caveat is that its rounded arms may not play nicely with a tight-fitting headset.
Lucky 38 is the more distinctive collector piece. It has that great retro-futurist style Fallout is known for, remains comfortable and light on the face, and arrives with a leather case that feels worthy of the license. Its smaller circular lenses and optional leather shields make less sense for uninterrupted monitor use, but that same design gives it stronger cosplay appeal than the Militech.
If you want Cyberpunk-inspired screen glasses that pull double duty as actual gaming hardware, join the Corpo ranks. If your priority is bringing a bit of New Vegas luxury to a Fallout shelf, convention outfit, or casual setup, Lucky 38 is the better bet. Both deliver more than a branded frame, but only Militech consistently feels built around the monitor in front of you.
