Enemy AI have advanced hearing when in vehicles | Forums

Sometimes I infiltrate Unidad and Santa Blanca bases that have a street near them and whenever I shoot my suppressed pistol and a Unidad patrol car is 150m away they will go into "Suspected" mode and will enter the base I'm in. How the heck can they hear my suppressed pistol from 150m away and the enemies in the base can't hear me despite being closer? Some of my missions were ruined because of this. Do the enemies get a boost in their senses when they enter a vehicle?

I have to agree with this - in a realistic situation they should be even less able to hear, being in a vehicle with an active motorised engine in use - yet they can hear things far better than guards 3 feet away from you.

Any chance this vehicle had a turret gunner on top looking your direction? If so it may have been sight vs sound detection. I mean the distance you're safe from visual detection does range at right around 150m.

It did have a gunner but he didn't look at my direction. The whole base was surrounded by big walls and you couldn't see anything inside unless you opened the main gate (in my case the gate was closed because I parachuted in there). This has also happened while I was inside a building.

And you're sure the gunner didn't see you parachute in?

I brought this issue up over 6 months ago and nothing has changed. So it must be intended.

While I'm not the OP, I've had this happen to me quite a few times - buildings and /or walls between myself and the unidad vehicles, my characters prone (reducing visual detection to about 15 methres) - yet the millisecond I let off a suppresed piaitol shot in ANY other direction while that vehicle is within 100 metres, they immediately go into "suspected" mode and start hunting for me

Yep. They appeared 3-4 minutes after I landed. Everything was normal until I fired my suppressed pistol while they were 150m away from me

Yesterday I made a video about this issue. Here it is.

This time I used a rifle instead of a pistol but the results would've been the same anyway. Also notice how the rebel car enters the enemy base and the enemies don't react to them
