Hiding?

[Darthclimo]

Unless I'm not far enough into the game -- basically on tutorial island -- there are no UI indicators to suggest my mercs are actually hidden when in say tall grass. It feels cool going prone sneaking through the grass, but am I actually hidden? How does other terrain work? Can you hide among other terrain features too? I really hope so.

sneaking it's "h" ig I'm not wrong

Yeah the game sucks at introducing concepts. They encourage you to sneak on the first map but don't tell you how to do it until a later map...lol.

I know how to go into Hidden mode, man ('H' like you said). I just want to know whether I'm actually hidden if I'm prone in grass or whatever. Does the terrain hide your mercs? It shouldn't matter if I'm in hide mode or not if the terrain is covering me.

when you are in hidden mode you are "invisible" as soon you are spotted your merc is no longer hidden. so being in hidden mode is the actual indicator.

It should be agility check for the sneaking and dexterity check for spotting or something similar. Terrain doesnt play any role unless its line of sight breaking e.g. cover of some kind.

If you use that H key there is a UI tip that says "hidden" above the character and if an enemy starts to spot you, there is a red circle/bar/something that starts to fill up untill the engagement starts. The enemy that starts the spotting has "!" above their head.
