Concealment questions

[Vortimous]

I am having trouble understanding the yellow vs blue symbol for CIA or undercover troops. I start a mission with just two guys, and they have to rescue a VIP, and one of the guys has the blue symbol and cant be seen by the enemies, he can walk all around until he pulls his weapon. Lets talk about him first...
1st question. How do you pull his weapon and make him fire... the only way I can tell to do this is to click on the change weapon feature, he will then pull his pistol out and shoot.
Is there another way to get him to engage other than this?
2nd. If i am trying to stealth kill, I can kill a guy at the door, but then when i say put the weapon away and go back to civilian, the blue symbol turns to yellow and everyone can now see me so i cant walk around anymore. Why is that? no one saw or heard me kill the one guy, i should be able to put my gun away and go on undetected. Am i missing something or is this just a one kill and your "exposed" mechanic?

Okay... the Yellow symbol on the other guy I start with. He has a poncho, that says he can hide weapons under it (I chose the MP5 with silencer) but that status never goes away, its always yellow and never turns blue so he cant just walk around... Again, what I am missing... it doesnt say what these yellow and blue symbols mean and you cant click on them to find out... Just looking for some guidence on how to be stealthy...

Thanks

Hi,

1) for now, "change weapon" button is the only way for CIA to draw weapon (except when discovered by enemies)

2) In the equipement screen https://imgur.com/u9Yi5Up if you give the MP5 to an operative, it will be "suspicious" even with the poncho. So, for this, he will have the yellow icon.

If you equip smaller weapons https://imgur.com/XufoshQ the operative will be "covered" and will have a blu icon.

Just take a look at the bar at the bottom.

Thank you for the responses... Is there a way once you reveal your self and kill someone, that you can go back into disguise, esp if no one other than your target is killed and no one hears it? Because he changes to "suspicious" and it never changes back, even if you hit going back to cilvilian mode...

Greetings,

You have to leave suspecious area: colored orange, around bodies or where you fired guns or threw grenades etc.

After you leave there and no tango sees you, you can play civilian again.
However if you go into suspecious area again, you seems suspecious!
