[FEEDBACK] Optical Camo | Forums

You know if it actually Worked and Did Something even if it had some kind of a Cool-down like 10seconds or 15seconds it would still be better then what it currently is; A Gimmick and useless.

If it doesn't actually Work then whats the point of it Deactivating when you ADS or fire without a Silencer!?

shameless bump

The devs already confirmed what it does. Enemy detection rate is decreased while it’s active, giving you more time to react before you’re spotted.

If anything, what they need to do is make AI team mates be able to wear it, and for Thermal/IR to be able to see your heat signature while it’s active. Removing the effect from bare skin would be a nice touch too.

Saying it does nothing when you don’t know what it actually does is dumb. The in-game description was very vague and misleading, yes, but it does work as it turns out.

Not when I tested it. Flat on my belly about 30 yards from a rise waiting for a cartel soldier approaching from the other side
of the rise, as his head appeared over the rise he spotted me and began to fire.

Sorry your saying that the devs got something right, in there first go, no patch needed?

[Crohnsbrb]

Personally the game has trained me to stay out of LOS anyways, I just like the optical camo for the imagination it brings. Would love if the bugs got fixed.

[LaMOi]

Hopefully it will get fixed.

But there’s already a fairly big thread about this?

Just to confirm the effects of the Optical Camo: it reduces the speed of detection, not the distance from which an enemy detects you.

However, feel free to keep the discussion alive: keep letting us know if you're satisfied with it or not

[LaMOi]

Definitely not satisfied.

It makes such minimal difference it honestly not worth using.

I’m hoping Ubisoft fix it and has it impact distance, which would make sense.

That's extremely counter-intuitive. I can understand many edge cases where letting the player be completely invisible - and shift phases - would cause issues with the combat AI...but it still seems *** backwards.

The timer of the detection meter is not as readily quantifiable but a distance based system is. A player can simply drop a marker on an enemy and test the camo's effectiveness...and frankly player expectation dictates that you will be invisible to a degree.

I'm really hoping they switch to invisibility based on distance.
