You don't.

If you REALLY want to, get a silenced weapon with an ultrahigh RoF, or clear out the back areas, clear the warehouse and sneak around the place.

Why some people want to stealth everything.

Some people just want attention.

Because they want to complain that an unintended stealth job doesn't give stealth bonus.

It was always stealthable.
Tho it never was supposed to be stealthed.

Don't know about now, but pre-update 100 it could be stealthed (still gave no stealth bonus). Bored friend did it on normal, it took 2 hours of RNG praying to get gangster layout & patrols into a fully stealthable state.

Compared with DW loud, no saw, no C4 & no drill skills. That almost always takes less than 15m.

If you're bored or want a weird challenge, stealth D1. If you actually want to finish the job, do it loud.

Afaik it can be stealthed by using the Timewaster Method. Maybe a ECM rush works too but will be very hard solo due to there being lots of guards.:

The Timewaster Method: Pick the guards off 1 by one. Start in the alleyways and move the bodies just outside of range behind a container or smth. If you kill a guard in the alley another will come and then another and you can pick off most guards that way. Just takes a long time.

That said idk why you wouldn't do this one loud.
Even in burglar set it should be fairly doable if you move the bags fast.

If you want to go slow, pick of guards in back alley, judge usually works well because knockback.

It can be stealthed. I can get into the hangar consistently, and have a clear free roam path back to the van (took a lot of time to perfect my technique). Whats not consistent is the weapon crate count. If youre not lucky enough to get 8 then its likely a mission failure. You would have to find a way to stealth another hangar (which are also randomly chosen) to get the rest of the crates.

I stealthed it few times, but i prefer doing it loud what it suppose to be, Overkill can just drop the ball and make instant alarm when cartel member dies in FS day 1.

The tips I can give you:

1) Know your guards: The ones in the hangar and the ones that are outside the hangar that walk around cannot ever get a ! otherwise it's a stealth failure. The ones that are stationary outside of the hangar can get a ! (but still kill them quickly before they fire at you or call the cops).

2) On the right side hangars, there are 5 outside roaming guards per hangar and 3 - 5 guards inside the hangar. On the left side hangars, there are 6 roamin guards per hangar and 3 - 5 guards inside the hangar.

3) There are 5 cameras on the level all the time. On deathwish, these are titan cameras. On Normal - Overkill, they are normal cameras and can be shot out without any problems. The guards don't care.

4) Bring a shotgun to launch guard bodies. You want to launch their bodies such that their heads to land in locations that make it a lot longer for other patroling guards to detect. For example, launch their bodies over and behind a dumpster (behind the left side close hangar) or around a corner near stairs (right side hangars).

5) Bring an accurate, low recoil assault rifle or high ROF pistol (high concealment). You may need to take care of the guards inside of the hangar in a rapid fire fashion. Try to get the guards in a location where you can take care of many of them quickly and without them seeing each other. There are some bad spots where it might not be possible (or at least very difficult) to stealth though.

6) Take care of the roaming guards outside the hangar first and then try to take care of the guards inside of the hangar. Take care of any guards that block your way either getting inside the hangars or blocking good sight lines to the guards inside the hangars.

7) Bring bodybag deployables if possible + 2 starting body bags. Previously, we needed to get by with just 2 bodybags max. If you practice stealthing with just 2 bodybags max and are able to stealth it, then extra bodybags is just icing on the cake. That's how I practice stealthing FS Day 1. I pretend I don't have more than 2 bodybags and make my shotgun launching count.

8) Use closed gates to your advantage. Try not to open them unless you really need to as guards won't open gates and path through them. This makes it easier to use a spot closer to the closed gate as a spot of leaving bodies.

9) Patience is key. It takes a while for guards to come to locations that you want them to. Take your time to determine how many guards are inside the hangar using Sixth sense and wait for them to get to optimum locations if possible

I'm guessing you are speaking about deathwish. On Normal - Overkill, there is only 1 hangar anyways. I don't agree with that mindset for deathwish though of aiming for completing a single hangar and looking for 8 weapons. It's very rare (IMO) to have that scenario. I always aim to try and enter both hangars and loot the entire place.

Infiltrating 2 hangars solo on dw and having to carry all 8 bags back to the van and without any shotgun cheese is a bit too hard for me at the moment. At least if you stick with 1 hangar, 1 out of every 5 successful infiltrations is likely to yield the 8 crates. So unless youre sam fisher it might be easier and less time consuming to just restart until you get the one hangar.

Ps i'm really trying hard to be sam fisher, hes my hero.
