Gunnar Optiks’ Militech Glasses for Cyberpunk 2077: Lens Tints Explained

Gunnar Optiks has rolled out a new round of style-forward eyewear tied to Cyberpunk 2077, this time focusing on the Militech look from the game. The collaboration isn’t just about swapping frames: the Militech glasses come with Militech-etched accessories and—crucially for players—two different lens tint directions that change how much blue-light comfort you’re likely to feel, especially compared with Gunnar’s more familiar amber approach.

Militech glasses: game-accurate style with collector extras

The Cyberpunk 2077 Militech glasses are designed to feel like they were pulled straight from the setting, built around an onyx-and-yellow color scheme. The frames are described as lightweight without reading as flimsy, and the “shield-like” lens shape is a major part of the appeal—so much so that the design naturally invites cosplay-style styling.

Gunnar also includes a set of Militech-branded physical extras with the glasses. The package features a dark, military-green case that adds personality beyond what you’d normally expect from storage alone. There’s also a matching bag and cloth, both marked with the Militech logo in a bright yellow and deep forest-green palette.

While earlier Gunnar collaborations apparently leaned on a “puffer”-style case for other Cyberpunk 2077-related models, the Militech glasses are positioned as a deliberate move away from making that style the default. The overall message is that the presentation matters to fans who are willing to pay around 100 dollars for an officially themed pair.

Amber vs “Sun” tint: what changes in blue-light comfort

For lens performance, the key comparison in the testing comes from using Gunnar’s Militech glasses alongside other tinted Gunnar options. The idea is that the underlying tint technology for Gunnar’s amber and sun variants is broadly similar across frames, so the main difference is the tint itself rather than the frame you pick.

In the comparison, the “Sun” version—sold as the sunglasses-style variant for the collaboration—is described as better at blocking external light, but notably less effective at filtering blue light than the standard amber lenses. The amber lenses are framed as the stronger choice if your priority is reducing eye strain and comfort fatigue from screen or long-session play.

By contrast, the “Sun” tint is characterized as doing solid work at reducing glare and blocking light in general, but not matching amber’s blue-light filtering. The framing here suggests that “Sun” is the more practical pick for going outside, while amber remains the more targeted option for screen-heavy play.

Which tint fits different player habits

The testing leads to a clear practical split based on where and how you play—or how you want your eyewear to look.

• Going outside: the “Sun” tint is positioned as the better everyday choice because it blocks brighter ambient light more effectively.
• Reducing screen strain: amber is recommended when the goal is blue-light blocking and lowering visual fatigue.
• Appearance preference: the amber lenses may look more yellowed, which some players may not want while wearing glasses in public.
• Expectations management: neither tint is presented as a cure-all for every glare problem, but amber is treated as doing the deeper job for blue-light comfort.

There’s also a style-first recommendation path: if you simply want the look of new sunglasses with Gunnar branding and lens behavior that’s more about sun and brightness than blue-light filtering, “Sun” is described as the most satisfying option. At the same time, the article argues that choosing amber may feel like you’re getting closer to what makes Gunnar distinct in the first place.

Bottom line: a themed pair with real comfort trade-offs

Overall, the Militech glasses are presented as a strong mix of Cyberpunk 2077 style and Gunnar’s tint ecosystem, with the biggest decision being which lens tone you actually want. If you’re optimizing for blue-light comfort during desk or controller sessions, amber is framed as the better match. If you’re optimizing for outdoor brightness control and sunglasses aesthetics, the “Sun” tint is framed as the more sensible fit.

The review also notes that another Gunnar option—Amber Max—has not been tested yet, hinting at future comparisons for players who want the strongest amber experience.
