[The visual impairment has been degenerative. When he'd pulled himself out of the rubble, he'd known that the explosion had fucked up his eyes (among other things), but it hadn't been so bad that he couldn't function, initially. That changed far too quickly for his liking, and he only expects it to get worse. There had been some time before he managed to acquire the visor, and he'd needed to adapt. It's not ideal, but he's still capable in a fight without it. He's had no other choice but to find ways to work around it.

He can't see details, and he can't see past the glow of the campfire into the darkness that surrounds them, but he can see movement against the flickering orange glow. 76 uses that to launch into action, the crunch of boots and the contrast of shadows tipping him off to where the mooks are coming from. With that, he launches into action.

He dispatches the man with all the brutality he's come to be known for. Whereas McCree starts firing, he doesn't even touch his rifle, grappling with the first unfortunate interloper who tries to jump him. McCree will certainly recognize the inhuman strength and speed, the efficiency of advanced military training, but there's a feral, ruthless quality to it now as he all but beats the man into the dirt before wheeling around to tackle the next one.
