Stealth kill whistle
I've noticed that sometimes with stealth kills Karl will whistle before stabbing the poor kraut, why is this a feature? it defeats the purpose of a stealth kill when everyone around turns yellow and investigates the area.
making the whistle inaudible by other enemies would fix this while still having the audio and animation.
Thank you

Carl can whisle but it is a secondary function on the menu, press Q key to bring up the radial menu , throw Stone / Whistle , press F key to whistle, i never heard an Auto matic Whistle

The whistling I'm talking about is in a stealth kill animation when you stab the victim in the brain I think, at the start of the animation Carl whistles to get the guards attention then quickly stabs him, looks very cool and is well done but when it then alerts everyone it ruins what would have been a nice stealth kill.

Also, I made sure at the time my distraction tool wasn't set to whistle thinking it might decide what kind of stealth animation would play but it was set to the stone option.

Its just a animation I think, kind of distracted your target and stab them from another unexpecte angle.


Melee kill are not completely stealth, sometimes they heard sounds or see something from distance and turned yellow to investigate.

Yellow mode doesn’t mean they discover you, just checking out.

When everyone is yellow, if you kill one of them, the others can sense it, it is not stealth anymore.

By the way, by beating main missions, I begin to see this game as "a game can be played as a stealth game", not a stealth game.
