SPOILER! Need help with stealth.

[Niroc]

So I am at the part of the main questline where you are supposed to get into the Sphere and I just cannot for the life of me figure out how to sneak in. The guards spot you from a mile away or if they are even remotely looking in your direction and stay lasered on you even if you pull back around a corner. Am I supposed to just go loud for this part and use up a bunch of ammo or what?

[Frostbeast]

The aggro range for other groups of enemies is not that high. I sneak as close as possible to the enemy group and kill them. Usually, enemies 30-40m away dont hear the fire fight.....

Stealth is bugged sometimes :c

Every now and then enemies just spot you through walls or inside buildings while they're outside, it's really inconsistent >.<

[Desiire]

are you crouching? crouching in games gives you 30000% stealth bonuses

[Frostbeast]

Under your compass. There is a white line. Its your stealth bar. The more blue it gets, the more visible you are.
If i crouch and move very carefully, to sneak works. its just that the enemy has superhuman ears and will hear your steps through walls.

I actually just randomly cleared the area while exploring, and got the achievement for clearing the compound without them setting off an alarm. I was... not quiet about it. Scoped AK-74s picking headshots as they came into sight. I don't know if the quest has extra requirements, but if the achievement triggered, going loud should be fine? Just pick your shots with a scoped rifle to take them down quickly is my advice I guess.

It is a safe bet the OP is smart enough to be turning off their flashlight trying to sneak up on people too. But that as much as anything is a joke at the expense of realizing "Huh. why is it so dark now-quickload turned off my flashlight..."

I almost never use the flashlight if not underground myself, and I get spotted miles away through dense foliage at night regularly. Stealth is... weird sometimes.

[Niroc]

Been turning off my light and crouching, still no real progress on getting through.

I found an underground entrance that goes under the Sphere place, I figured this was the way to do it lol. Either way once I got to the top I found out real quick going out the front door was not a good idea, so I went out the back killed the few enemies guarding the back exit and was out of there.

[Lucash eLSamuell]

yeah, stealth here is not like in ubisoft games. you actually need to be invisible.

[Dragon]

Stealth needs tuning overall.

Approach at night, crouched, from an angle that the tower guard can't see you (or wait till they're looking the other way).

If the AI is looking directly at you, nothing but breaking line of sight is going to save you - crouching is just going to give you more time to do that. It's a large difference if you watch how fast the bar fills up while crouched doing the same approach vs walking vs sprinting.

Decided to screw sneaking and just fight my way through, managed to do so with liberal distribution of grenades. This is after ten failed attempts at sneaking past. The low route along the leftside has guards that line of sight you so the only other option is the high route except you either get spotted by one of the guys posted on the road or by the guy on the roof.

I tried going to the tunnel but it was locked and when I went to Ribs to find the code the door to the bunker there was also locked..so..yeah I don't know.

[Niroc]

Update incase anyone reads this after the fact. I was able to "stealth" the interior section by using a shotgun and head popping them. Somehow the several other people in the building did not hear the repeated shotgun blasts and remained passive..This game is amazing.

Hmm this is interesting, so you were able to completely sequence break the main quest, or you chose different choices and did not get the code to the underground entrance.

[Niroc]

I tried looking it up but yeah no I never got a code. All I was told was that there was a guy who could get me in quietly, found said guy standing by the gate, told me to keep my voice down and good luck, never anything about the ribs or a code or a tunnel.
