2 issues killing stealth approach | Forums

[seanzadnik]

1st issue is when I snuck into a barracks with 2 guys asleep inside, shot one with my silenced pistol and the other heard the suppressed shot and proceeded to wake up. So, during him slowly getting up from his cot I was shooting him the whole time and the AI are immune to being killed while in the process of sitting up, and slowly standing to their feet. It wasn't until the AI was fully standing that I was able to kill him. Even though I finally was able to get the kill, as soon as he stood up, I was spotted and it alerted the others. This simply should not work this way. I should be able to shoot one and turn and shoot the other, no problem.

2nd issue is when I sneak up behind and enemy AI sitting in a chair and there is no prompt to 'knock out' or 'grab', why is this? I know I could just shoot him, but I like to be able to grab enemies and knock them out where I choose. The lacking hand-to-hand tactics in this game are underwhelming.

Anyway, I hope these issues get some attention from the Dev's.

1 - I've certainly killed enemies as they're waking up.... but if they're a heavy, lieutenant or captain it might take a couple of shots. Also choose a handgun with high noise reduction and they're less likely to wake up.

2 - you can still melee them but you can't do the grab because he chair is supposedly in the way. But I kinda agree, there should be a silent takedown option - knife for example.

Agreed on all points - it ain't right.

While we're on it, I've got issues with grabbing guys out of cars; not only to they gain 360 deg eagle vision (mirrors, I guess), but quite often you can't grab them before they get out and spot you. Also tends to result in a glitch where instead of holding them, they get stuck floating behind you can you can't interrogate (fortunately, you can throw then into the trunk, which solves the issue, but it's not an ideal solution).

post a technical problem in the technical area so everyone can see since most people only look in that section to begin w/

You're like a pro when you do stealth but when the base is alerted every damn enemy is like John Wick that can one shot you in extreme mode and no hud.

One the first issue, that's not standard. The other day I shot a sleeping LT beside another Santo Blanco member and the second guy didn't wake up. I was using a suppressed pistol. Sorry I can't tell you which.

1. Might have been a glitch than. I use a the 5.7 pistol with suppressor having maxed out silenced rating. Shot the npc about 7 times before he stood up.
2. Maybe bugged on my end, but it has not let me melee an enemy sitting in a chair. All it does is swing my gun til he stands up, then I'm able to melee properly.
