Lynx or doble jump

[Azi_Dahaka12th]

everyone says the double jump is better for stealth and not the you know...stealth bonus legs...any credence to this?
also the stalker optics say
"Automatically connects to your equipped Tech weapon.

When aiming:
Highlights enemies behind cover"
dose that mean i can only see enemies behind cover with tech weapons?

lynx if you want to enjoy speed running stealth kills
double jump if you want to explore

modded, you can get both

I play stealth netrunner, and I used those Lynx legs a few times in the start, mainly.

But the ability to double jump outweighs anything else for me, so I'm using those. So many places in the game where they're handy to have. The freedom!

Ahem... Anyway, one of the stats for the Lynx Paws is "reduces sounds from movement by 50%", but I think the "visibility to enemies" stat is more important. You can get that down to minimum (which I think is 1%) by rolling that stat when upgrading cyberware.

Might want to use proper sneaking shoes, though (sneakers? ) I've noticed there is a difference in sound depending on the shoes you have equipped (and not as part of outfits), and I guess other gear also affects sounds.

I haven't given too much thought to movement sound in the game, come to think of it, mainly 'invisibility'. But I do use some fancy quiet netrunner shoes.

And regarding the extra speed of those Lynx Paws, I find that with all the movement perks I'm already moving faster than I'd like when I'm crouched, so I don't miss that extra speed either

I prefer double jump, so much adapt to it, that usually first hours of game are become real pain for me, because double jump already become so dinamicaly my routinly moving part.

Lynx can be handy on a rare occasion, but double-jump is always useful, no matter the situation.

The fall damage reduction is redundant, and the jump speed/distance is better than crouch speed.

Aside from what's already been said, it's use in 'pure stealth' usually shines in outdoor areas especially.

In some cases, it's the difference between stealthily attempting to take out all the foes until you get to your objective, or stealthily jumping over/around them without anyone seeing you.

NCPD will probably start shooting you like they do for everything else ;-)

yeah trying to help the cops is a pain sometimes, like i was using my sniper to take out the gangers, only for the cops to get the blue alert thing, so i just ran away and put my gun away, then calmly walked into the firefight to get my loot

I notice there are different sounds of your footsteps depending on the shoes you're wearing (and when you're barefoot, which is noisy), and since those Lynx Paws have a stat that says "reduces sounds from movement by 50%", I assume shoes are relevant. Not 100% sure, though!

I'm using some netrunner boots, but maybe the best way to find the most quiet shoes are try them on.

I used Johnny's boots for a long time, but after the reunion concert I stashed all his clothes and went for items more suited for netrunning

Pretty sure that's just a matter of sound effects and not actual noise reduction unless whatever shoes/boots you're wearing say otherwise. If it the type does actually have an effect, then it is far too little to be meaningful.

charge legs/super jump is the best one lol

[Markus Reese]

I have been using Lynx this play. Find them better than I thought. Not just for speed and sneak. The jumping down advantage has become quite noticable. Sure I lose some high jumps, but usually still plenty parkour options.

The interaction between dash, double jump, and air dash makes for much faster movement than the Lynx.

Do those actions break stealth? Won't the enemy hear me jump?
