gear load-out is just an appearance only? | Forums

[vm4M9Tz4pB]

i got a united force/ military side load out/ appearance, i want to see can i pretend this NPC camp to stay around or approach these NPC without any alert warning. as i see a demo we can use one NPC camp car to enter the base and start the mission without getting any alert warning , so i tried that military/united force(purple NPC) appearance (i unlock it from a craft). but it didn't take effect, so i want to ask do this appearance just a cloth only,no any effect( such as pretend NPC to enter the base etc) in the game?

Yes just appearance only, does nothing to assist though possibly it takes them longer to identify you slightly as not one of them.
Don’t know as I’m not into testing stuff like that.

Purely cosmetic.

It would be a bit too OP for stealth to wear all white and stroll into Santa Blanca camps with nobody batting an eye

so the NPC character unlock is same as this stuff too. no any benefit for any mission.

Running naked in the city would have the same effect that a ghillie suit has in the jungle when playing wildlands... this is only for wasting time and looking cool

That's right, there is no benefit from any clothing or camo choice, with the single exception of optical camo which has an effect on how long it takes before you start getting the detection warning.

AFAIK there're so far only 5 cosmetic items that acutally affects game play: the 3 GRFS items, the splintercell goggle, and the predator mask. Everything else is just that: pure cosmetic.

it's not , i just want to playing a style like "mission impossible" as same as the soul of the game do, and i leave the mission like "Rambo" or "die hard"
