Answering pagers

[Klinsk]

When I kill a guard I have half a second to answer his pager but it takes like 10 seconds for it to complete, so I'm ALWAYS compromised which makes every mission infuriating.

What's up with that?

[Copy & Cat]

So you cant just kill every guard amd make stealth a joke in every heist

[VxWolf]

Stop trying to kill guards

Or stop trying to kill guards within 10 seconds of each other

[Duende Tuneado]

You have to make up an excuse for the pager operator... and this (somewhat) prevents players from rushing heists.

[Maces006]

The pager mechanic only gives you about 3-5 seconds to answer a pager, with a max of 4 pagers per stealth hiest.

On certain hiests (Art Galary for example) killing 4 guards in stealth will trigger another patroling guard

[Snow]

Well, u have to kill guards either to secure the important checkpoint or if u simply got caught. U don't kill just because u can. And u're not that much compromised if u try to learn their routine or at least C4 all over the place.

OP i would suggest that you play the tutorial in the game if you want to understand the stealth mechanics.

OP
- Plays stealth
- Confused why he can't just murder everyone as fast as he want


Does the word "stealth" tells you anything?

Nobody will notice if there is nobody to notice

Thanks guys, I finished the mission (I killed everyone).

Killing guards leave you 10 secs for pager.

Pager time stops counting when you hold it. Thats why 2 players or more can hold 1 / 2 pagers forever. As if you release it while another answers it, it wont trigger the alarm


Also, you CAN answer 2 pagers simuntaniously : Or you kill one roght after you begin answering another, or you get the Burglar perk deck, which grants you i think an -2 seconds for answering em.

Then there was only 4 guards.

Try one of the following on Mayhem+:

Shadow Raid

Big Bank

Alesso Heist

Murky Station

Hoxton Revenge

Golden Grin Casino

The Diamond

Firestarter ( day 2 )

Framing frame ( day 1 or 2 )

Car Shop

You will quickly see you will need to learn to avoid pagers.

I did the Car Shop one on Overkill, I had like 7 seconds left to park my car into the shipping container and hop into the van :D

Well congrats.

[Klinsk]

Yeah I had to redo the mission 6 times because I got caught and the point of no return-timer was going.

You can equip the burglar perk deck to reduce the pager answering time among other stealth bonuses.
Less time answering the pager means less exposure.
